3.27
- If strlcpy() and strlcat() aren't available on the user's system,
we now use ppport.h to provide them, so our C code works. [Steve
Peters]
- Upgraded to a newer version of ppport.h [Steve Peters]
3.26 - Sun Jan 13 21:59:20 2008
- case_tolerant() on Cygwin will now avoid a painful death when
Cygwin::mount_flags() isn't defined, as is the case for perl <
5.10. It will now just return 1, which is what it always did
before it got so smart. [Spotted by Emanuele Zeppieri]
- abs_path() on Unix(ish) platforms has been upgraded to a much later
version of the underlying C code from BSD. [Michael Schwern]
3.2501 - Mon Dec 24 20:33:02 2007
- Reimplemented abs_path() on VMS to use
VMS::Filespec::vms_realpath() when it's available. [John E. Malmberg]
- tmpdir() on Cygwin now also looks in $ENV{TMP} and $ENV{TEMP}.
- case_tolerant() on Cygwin and Win32 now take an optional path
argument, defaulting to the C drive, to check for case tolerance,
because this fact can vary on different volumes.
- File::Spec on Unix now uses Cwd::getcwd() rather than Cwd::cwd() to
get the current directory because I guess someone on p5p thought it
was more appropriate.
- Added a large set of File::Spec tests for the Cygwin platform.
- abs_path() now behaves correctly with symbolic links on VMS.
- Someone fixed a couple of mysterious edge cases in VMS' canonpath()
and splitdir().
3.25_01 - Sat Oct 13 21:13:57 2007
- Major fixes on Win32, including a rewrite of catdir(), catfile(),
and canonpath() in terms of a single body of code. [Heinrich Tegethoff]
- For Win32 and Cygwin, case-tolerance can vary depending on the
volume under scrutiny. When Win32API::File is available, it will
be employed to determine case-sensitivity of the given filesystem
(C: by default), otherwise we still return the default of 1. [Reini
Urban]
- On Cygwin, we added $ENV{'TMP'} and $ENV{'TEMP'} to the list of
possible places to look for tmpdir() return values. [Reini Urban]
- Added lots more tests for Cygwin. [Reini Urban]
- canonpath() with no arguments and canonpath(undef) now consistently
return undef on all platforms. [Spotted by Peter John Edwards]
- Fixed splitdir('') and splitdir(undef) and splitdir() to return an
empty list on VMS and MacOS, like it does on other platforms.
[Craig A. Berry]
- All .pm files now have the same $VERSION number, rather than a
hodgepodge of various numbers.
Revision history for Perl distribution PathTools.
- Added a workaround for auto-vivication-of-function-args Perl bug
(triggered by OS/2-specific code). [Ilya Zakharevich]
- Sync with a bleadperl change: miniperl can no longer use Win32::*
functions because it cannot load Win32.dll. [Jan Dubois]
- We only need to load ppport.h when building outside the core, so we
avoid using it when in the core.
3.24 - Sun Nov 19 22:52:49 2006
- Fixed a bug in the $ENV{PWD}-updating of Cwd::chdir() when a
dirhandle is passed in. [Steve Peters]
- Add perl 5.005 to the list of requirements in the
Build.PL/Makefile.PL/META.yml.
- Add ExtUtils::CBuilder to the list of build_requires in Build.PL.
- Improved performance of canonpath() on Unix-ish platforms - on my
OS X laptop it looks like it's about twice as fast. [Ruslan Zakirov]
Changee:
- Yet more Win32 fixes (sigh... seems like I'm fighting a neverending
waterbed...). This time, fixed file_name_is_absolute() to know
what it's doing when the path includes a volume but a relative
path, like C:foo.txt . This bug had impact in rel2abs() on Win32
too.
3.22 - Mon Oct 9 21:50:52 2006
- Fixed the t/crossplatform.t test on Win32 (and possibly other
volume-aware platforms) now that rel2abs() always adds a drive
letter. [Reported by several parties]
3.21 - Wed Oct 4 21:16:43 2006
- Added a bunch of X<> tags to the File::Spec docs to help
podindex. [Gabor Szabo]
- On Win32, abs2rel('C:\one\two\t\foo', 't\bar') should return
'..\foo' when the cwd is 'C:\one\two', but it wasn't noticing that
the two relevant volumes were the same so it would return the full
path 'C:\one\two\t\foo'. This is fixed. [Spotted by Alexandr
Ciornii]
- On Win32, rel2abs() now always adds a volume (drive letter) if the
given path doesn't have a volume (drive letter or UNC volume).
Previously it could return a value that didn't have a volume if the
input was a semi-absolute path like /foo/bar instead of a
fully-absolute path like C:/foo/bar .
3.19 Tue Jul 11 22:40:26 CDT 2006
- When abs2rel() is called with two relative paths
(e.g. abs2rel('foo/bar/baz', 'foo/bar')) the resolution algorithm
needlessly called cwd() (twice!) to turn both arguments into
absolute paths. Now it avoids the cwd() calls with a workaround,
making a big efficiency win when abs2rel() is called
repeatedly. [Brendan O'Dea]
- Added a build-time dependency on ExtUtils::Install version 1.39
when on Windows. This is necessary because version 1.39 knows how
to replace an in-use Cwd shared library, but previous versions
don't. [Suggested by Adam Kennedy]
- Fixed File::Spec::Win32->canonpath('foo/../bar'), which was
returning \bar, and now properly returns just bar. [Spotted by
Heinrich Tegethoff]
3.18 Thu Apr 27 22:01:38 CDT 2006
- Fixed some problems on VMS in which a directory called "0" would be
treated as a second-class citizen. [Peter (Stig) Edwards]
- Added a couple of regression tests to make sure abs2rel('/foo/bar',
'/') works as expected. [Chia-liang Kao]
- Added a couple of regression tests to make sure catdir('/',
'foo/bar') works as expected. [Mark Grimes]
3.17 Fri Mar 3 16:52:30 CST 2006
- The Cygwin version of Cwd::cwd() will croak if given any arguments
(which can happen if, for example, it's called as Cwd->cwd). Since
that croaking is bad, we now wrap the original cwd() in a
subroutine that ignores its arguments. We could skip this wrapping
if a future version of perl changes cygwin.c's cwd() to not barf
when fed an argument. [Jerry D. Hedden]
3.16 Mon Jan 30 20:48:41 CST 2006
- Updated to version 3.06 of ppport.h, which provides backward
compatibility XS layers for older perl versions.
- Clarify in the docs for File::Spec's abs2rel() and rel2abs()
methods that the cwd() function it discusses is
Cwd::cwd(). [Spotted by Steven Lembark]
- Apparently the version of File::Path that ships with perl 5.8.5
(and perhaps others) calls Cwd::getcwd() with an argument (perhaps
as a method?), which causes it to die with a prototyping error.
We've eliminated the prototype by using the "(...)" arglist, since
"PROTOTYPE: DISABLE" for the function didn't seem to work. [Spotted
by Eamon Daly and others]
3.15 Tue Dec 27 14:17:39 CST 2005
- The Cwd::getcwd() function on *nix is now a direct pass-through to
the underlying getcwd() C library function when possible. This is
safer and faster than the previous implementation, which just did
abs_path('.'). The pure-perl version has been kept for cases in
which the XS version can't load, such as when running under
miniperl. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons]
- When Cwd searches for a 'pwd' executable in the $PATH, we now stop
after we find the first one rather than continuing the search. We
also avoid the $PATH search altogether when a 'pwd' was already
found in a well-known and well-trusted location like /bin or
/usr/bin. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons]
- On Win32 abs2rel($path, $base) was failing whenever $base is the
root of a volume (such as C:\ or \\share\dir). This has been
fixed. [Reported by Bryan Daimler]
- In abs2rel() on VMS, we've fixed handling of directory trees so
that the test $file = File::Spec::VMS->abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file',
'[t1.t2.t3]') returns 'file' instead of an empty string. [John
E. Malmberg]
- In canonpath() on VMS, '[]' was totally optimized away instead of
just returning '[]'. Now it's fixed. [John E. Malmberg]
3.14 Thu Nov 17 18:08:44 CST 2005
- canonpath() has some logic in it that avoids collapsing a
//double/slash at the beginning of a pathname on platforms where
that means something special. It used to check the value of $^O
rather than the classname it was called as, which meant that
calling File::Spec::Cygwin->canonpath() didn't act like cygwin
unless you were actually *on* cygwin. Now it does.
- Fixed a major bug on Cygwin in which catdir() could sometimes
create things that look like //network/paths in cases when it
shouldn't (e.g. catdir("/", "foo", "bar")).
3.13 Tue Nov 15 23:50:37 CST 2005
- Calling tmpdir() on Win32 had the unintended side-effect of storing
some undef values in %INC for the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP entries if
they didn't exist already. This is probably a bug in perl itself
(submitted as #37441 on rt.perl.org), which we're now working
around. [Thomas L. Shinnick]
- Integrated a change from bleadperl - a certain #ifdef in Cwd.xs
needs to apply to WIN32 but not WinCE. [Vadim Konovalov]
- abs2rel() used to return the empty string when its two arguments
were identical, which made no sense. Now it returns
curdir(). [Spotted by David Golden]
- The Unix and Win32 implementations of abs2rel() have been unified.
file specifications (usually called "file names", but not to be
confused with the contents of a file, or Perl's file handles), such as
concatenating several directory and file names into a single path, or
determining whether a path is rooted.
