This allows catpath 199 to play nice with non-rooted logical names, as in 200 catpath('sys$login:', '', 'login.com'); 201 (Craig A.

[Matt Kraai & Nicholas Clark] 248 2493.28_01 - Fri Jul 25 21:18:11 2008 250 251 - Fixed and clarified the behavior of splitpath() with a $no_file 252 argument on VMS. [Craig A. Berry, Peter Edwards] 253 254 - Removed some function prototypes and other Perl::Critic violations. 255 256 - canonpath() and catdir() and catfile() on Win32 now make an 257 explicit (and unnecessary) copy of their arguments right away, 258 because apparently if we don't, we sabotage all of Win32dom. [RT 259 #33675] 260 261 - The Makefile.PL now has 'use 5.005;' to explicitly show what 262 minimum version of perl we support. [Spotted by Alexandr Ciornii] 263 2643.2701 - Mon Feb 11 21:43:51 2008 265 266 - Fixed an edge case for Win32 catdir('C:', 'foo') and catfile('C:', 267 'foo.txt') (which the caller's not really supposed to do, that's 268 what catpath() is for) that changed between versions. Now we're 269 back to the old behavior, which was to return C:\foo and C:\foo.txt . 270 [Audrey Tang] 271 2723.27 - Wed Jan 16 20:20:49 2008 273 274 - If strlcpy() and strlcat() aren't available on the user's system, 275 we now use ppport.h to provide them, so our C code works. [Steve 276 Peters] 277 278 - Upgraded to a newer version of ppport.h [Steve Peters] 279 2803.26 - Sun Jan 13 21:59:20 2008 281 282 - case_tolerant() on Cygwin will now avoid a painful death when 283 Cygwin::mount_flags() isn't defined, as is the case for perl < 284 5.10. It will now just return 1, which is what it always did 285 before it got so smart. [Spotted by Emanuele Zeppieri] 286 287 - abs_path() on Unix(ish) platforms has been upgraded to a much later 288 version of the underlying C code from BSD. [Michael Schwern] 289 2903.2501 - Mon Dec 24 20:33:02 2007 291 292 - Reimplemented abs_path() on VMS to use 293 VMS::Filespec::vms_realpath() when it's available. [John E. Malmberg] 294 295 - tmpdir() on Cygwin now also looks in $ENV{TMP} and $ENV{TEMP}. 296 297 - case_tolerant() on Cygwin and Win32 now take an optional path 298 argument, defaulting to the C drive, to check for case tolerance, 299 because this fact can vary on different volumes. 300 301 - File::Spec on Unix now uses Cwd::getcwd() rather than Cwd::cwd() to 302 get the current directory because I guess someone on p5p thought it 303 was more appropriate. 304 305 - Added a large set of File::Spec tests for the Cygwin platform. 306 307 - abs_path() now behaves correctly with symbolic links on VMS. 308 309 - Someone fixed a couple of mysterious edge cases in VMS' canonpath() 310 and splitdir(). 311 3123.25_01 - Sat Oct 13 21:13:57 2007 313 314 - Major fixes on Win32, including a rewrite of catdir(), catfile(), 315 and canonpath() in terms of a single body of code. [Heinrich Tegethoff] 316 317 - For Win32 and Cygwin, case-tolerance can vary depending on the 318 volume under scrutiny. When Win32API::File is available, it will 319 be employed to determine case-sensitivity of the given filesystem 320 (C: by default), otherwise we still return the default of 1. [Reini 321 Urban] 322 323 - On Cygwin, we added $ENV{'TMP'} and $ENV{'TEMP'} to the list of 324 possible places to look for tmpdir() return values. [Reini Urban] 325 326 - Added lots more tests for Cygwin. [Reini Urban] 327 328 - canonpath() with no arguments and canonpath(undef) now consistently 329 return undef on all platforms. [Spotted by Peter John Edwards] 330 331 - Fixed splitdir('') and splitdir(undef) and splitdir() to return an 332 empty list on VMS and MacOS, like it does on other platforms. 333 [Craig A. Berry] 334 335 - All .pm files now have the same $VERSION number, rather than a 336 hodgepodge of various numbers. 337 3383.25 - Mon May 21 21:07:26 2007 339 340 - Added a workaround for auto-vivication-of-function-args Perl bug 341 (triggered by OS/2-specific code). [Ilya Zakharevich] 342 343 - Sync with a bleadperl change: miniperl can no longer use Win32::* 344 functions because it cannot load Win32.dll. [Jan Dubois] 345 346 - We only need to load ppport.h when building outside the core, so we 347 avoid using it when in the core. 348 3493.24 - Sun Nov 19 22:52:49 2006 350 351 - Fixed a bug in the $ENV{PWD}-updating of Cwd::chdir() when a 352 dirhandle is passed in. [Steve Peters] 353 354 - Add perl 5.005 to the list of requirements in the 355 Build.PL/Makefile.PL/META.yml. 356 357 - Add ExtUtils::CBuilder to the list of build_requires in Build.PL. 358 359 - Improved performance of canonpath() on Unix-ish platforms - on my 360 OS X laptop it looks like it's about twice as fast. [Ruslan Zakirov] 361 3623.23 - Wed Oct 11 12:11:25 2006 363 364 - Yet more Win32 fixes (sigh... seems like I'm fighting a neverending 365 waterbed...). This time, fixed file_name_is_absolute() to know 366 what it's doing when the path includes a volume but a relative 367 path, like C:foo.txt . This bug had impact in rel2abs() on Win32 368 too. 369 3703.22 - Mon Oct 9 21:50:52 2006 371 372 - Fixed the t/crossplatform.t test on Win32 (and possibly other 373 volume-aware platforms) now that rel2abs() always adds a drive 374 letter. [Reported by several parties] 375 3763.21 - Wed Oct 4 21:16:43 2006 377 378 - Added a bunch of X<> tags to the File::Spec docs to help 379 podindex. [Gabor Szabo] 380 381 - On Win32, abs2rel('C:\one\two\t\foo', 't\bar') should return 382 '..\foo' when the cwd is 'C:\one\two', but it wasn't noticing that 383 the two relevant volumes were the same so it would return the full 384 path 'C:\one\two\t\foo'. This is fixed. [Spotted by Alexandr 385 Ciornii] 386 387 - On Win32, rel2abs() now always adds a volume (drive letter) if the 388 given path doesn't have a volume (drive letter or UNC volume). 389 Previously it could return a value that didn't have a volume if the 390 input was a semi-absolute path like /foo/bar instead of a 391 fully-absolute path like C:/foo/bar . 392 3933.19 Tue Jul 11 22:40:26 CDT 2006 394 395 - When abs2rel() is called with two relative paths 396 (e.g. abs2rel('foo/bar/baz', 'foo/bar')) the resolution algorithm 397 needlessly called cwd() (twice!) to turn both arguments into 398 absolute paths. Now it avoids the cwd() calls with a workaround, 399 making a big efficiency win when abs2rel() is called 400 repeatedly. [Brendan O'Dea] 401 402 - Added a build-time dependency on ExtUtils::Install version 1.39 403 when on Windows. This is necessary because version 1.39 knows how 404 to replace an in-use Cwd shared library, but previous versions 405 don't. [Suggested by Adam Kennedy] 406 407 - Fixed File::Spec::Win32->canonpath('foo/../bar'), which was 408 returning \bar, and now properly returns just bar. [Spotted by 409 Heinrich Tegethoff] 410 4113.18 Thu Apr 27 22:01:38 CDT 2006 412 413 - Fixed some problems on VMS in which a directory called "0" would be 414 treated as a second-class citizen. [Peter (Stig) Edwards] 415 416 - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure abs2rel('/foo/bar', 417 '/') works as expected. [Chia-liang Kao] 418 419 - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure catdir('/', 420 'foo/bar') works as expected. [Mark Grimes] 421 4223.17 Fri Mar 3 16:52:30 CST 2006 423 424 - The Cygwin version of Cwd::cwd() will croak if given any arguments 425 (which can happen if, for example, it's called as Cwd->cwd). Since 426 that croaking is bad, we now wrap the original cwd() in a 427 subroutine that ignores its arguments. We could skip this wrapping 428 if a future version of perl changes cygwin.c's cwd() to not barf 429 when fed an argument. [Jerry D. Hedden] 430 4313.16 Mon Jan 30 20:48:41 CST 2006 432 433 - Updated to version 3.06 of ppport.h, which provides backward 434 compatibility XS layers for older perl versions. 435 436 - Clarify in the docs for File::Spec's abs2rel() and rel2abs() 437 methods that the cwd() function it discusses is 438 Cwd::cwd(). [Spotted by Steven Lembark] 439 440 - Apparently the version of File::Path that ships with perl 5.8.5 441 (and perhaps others) calls Cwd::getcwd() with an argument (perhaps 442 as a method?), which causes it to die with a prototyping error. 443 We've eliminated the prototype by using the "(...)" arglist, since 444 "PROTOTYPE: DISABLE" for the function didn't seem to work. [Spotted 445 by Eamon Daly and others] 446 4473.15 Tue Dec 27 14:17:39 CST 2005 448 449 - The Cwd::getcwd() function on *nix is now a direct pass-through to 450 the underlying getcwd() C library function when possible. This is 451 safer and faster than the previous implementation, which just did 452 abs_path('.'). The pure-perl version has been kept for cases in 453 which the XS version can't load, such as when running under 454 miniperl. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons] 455 456 - When Cwd searches for a 'pwd' executable in the $PATH, we now stop 457 after we find the first one rather than continuing the search. We 458 also avoid the $PATH search altogether when a 'pwd' was already 459 found in a well-known and well-trusted location like /bin or 460 /usr/bin. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons] 461 462 - On Win32 abs2rel($path, $base) was failing whenever $base is the 463 root of a volume (such as C:\ or \\share\dir). This has been 464 fixed. [Reported by Bryan Daimler] 465 466 - In abs2rel() on VMS, we've fixed handling of directory trees so 467 that the test $file = File::Spec::VMS->abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file', 468 '[t1.t2.t3]') returns 'file' instead of an empty string. [John 469 E. Malmberg] 470 471 - In canonpath() on VMS, '[]' was totally optimized away instead of 472 just returning '[]'. Now it's fixed. [John E. Malmberg] 473 4743.14 Thu Nov 17 18:08:44 CST 2005 475 476 - canonpath() has some logic in it that avoids collapsing a 477 //double/slash at the beginning of a pathname on platforms where 478 that means something special. It used to check the value of $^O 479 rather than the classname it was called as, which meant that 480 calling File::Spec::Cygwin->canonpath() didn't act like cygwin 481 unless you were actually *on* cygwin. Now it does. 482 483 - Fixed a major bug on Cygwin in which catdir() could sometimes 484 create things that look like //network/paths in cases when it 485 shouldn't (e.g. catdir("/", "foo", "bar")). 486 4873.13 Tue Nov 15 23:50:37 CST 2005 488 489 - Calling tmpdir() on Win32 had the unintended side-effect of storing 490 some undef values in %INC for the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP entries if 491 they didn't exist already. This is probably a bug in perl itself 492 (submitted as #37441 on rt.perl.org), which we're now working 493 around. [Thomas L. Shinnick] 494 495 - Integrated a change from bleadperl - a certain #ifdef in Cwd.xs 496 needs to apply to WIN32 but not WinCE. [Vadim Konovalov] 497 498 - abs2rel() used to return the empty string when its two arguments 499 were identical, which made no sense. Now it returns 500 curdir(). [Spotted by David Golden] 501 502 - The Unix and Win32 implementations of abs2rel() have been unified. 503 5043.12 Mon Oct 3 22:09:12 CDT 2005 505 506 - Fixed a testing error on OS/2 in which a drive letter for the root 507 directory was confusing things. [Ilya Zakharevich] 508 509 - Integrated a patch from bleadperl for fixing path() on 510 Win32. [Gisle Aas] 511 5123.11 Sat Aug 27 20:12:55 CDT 2005 513 514 - Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation for 515 File::Spec::Mac. [Piotr Fusik] 516 5173.10 Thu Aug 25 22:24:57 CDT 2005 518 519 - eliminate_macros() and fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS are now 520 deprecated, since they are MakeMaker-specific and now live inside 521 MakeMaker. [Michael Schwern] 522 523 - canonpath() on Win32 now collapses foo/.. (or foo\..) sections 524 correctly, rather than doing the "misguided" work it was previously 525 doing. Note that canonpath() on Unix still does NOT collapse these 526 sections, as doing so would be incorrect. [Michael Schwern] 527 5283.09 Tue Jun 14 20:36:50 CDT 2005 529 530 - Added some block delimiters (brackets) in the Perl_getcwd_sv() XS 531 function, which were necessary to separate the variable 532 declarations from the statements when HAS_GETCWD is not 533 defined. [Yves] 534 535 - Apparently the _NT_cwd() routine is never defined externally like I 536 thought it was, so I simplified the code around it. 537 538 - When cwd() is implemented using the _backtick_pwd() function, it 539 sometimes could create accidental undef entries in %ENV under perl 540 5.6, because local($hash{key}) is somewhat broken. This is now 541 fixed with an appropriate workaround. [Neil Watkiss] 542 5433.08 Sat May 28 10:10:29 CDT 2005 544 545 - Fixed a test failure with fast_abs_path() on Windows - it was 546 sensitive to the rootdir() change from version 3.07. [Steve Hay] 547 5483.07 Fri May 6 07:46:45 CDT 2005 549 550 - Fixed a bug in which the special perl variable $^O would become 551 tainted under certain versions of perl. [Michael Schwern] 552 553 - File::Spec->rootdir() was returning / on Win32. Now it returns \ . 554 [Michael Schwern] 555 556 - We now avoid modifying @_ in tmpdir() when it's not strictly 557 necessary, which reportedly provides a modest performance 558 boost. [Richard Soderberg] 559 560 - Made a couple of slight changes to the Win32 code so that it works 561 (or works better) on Symbian OS phones. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] 562 5633.06 Wed Apr 13 20:47:26 CDT 2005 564 565 (No changes in functionality) 566 567 - Added a note to the canonpath() docs about why it doesn't collapse 568 foo/../bar sections. 569 570 - The internal-only function bsd_realpath() in the XS file now uses 571 normal arg syntax instead of K&R syntax. [Nicholas Clark] 572 5733.05 Mon Feb 28 07:22:58 CST 2005 574 575 - Fixed a bug in fast_abs_path() on Win32 in which forward- and 576 backward-slashes were confusing things. [demerphq] 577 578 - Failure to load the XS code in Cwd is no longer a fatal error 579 (though failure to compile it is still a fatal error in the build 580 process). This lets Cwd work under miniperl in the core. [Rafael 581 Garcia-Suarez] 582 583 - In the t/cwd.t test, don't enforce loading from blib/ if we're 584 testing in the perl core. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez] 585 5863.04 Sun Feb 6 17:27:38 CST 2005 587 588 - For perls older than 5.006, the HAS_GETCWD symbol is not available, 589 because it wasn't checked for in older Configure scripts when perl 590 was built. We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C 591 function is defined on their platform when their perl is old. 592 Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by 593 several parties] 594 595 - Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker 596 doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib 597 file. [Jerry Hedden] 598 599 - Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had 600 read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry] 601 6023.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005 603 604 - Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root 605 directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac] 606 607 - Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during 608 testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments 609 and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end. 610 611 - Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually 612 pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not 613 to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`. 614 6153.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005 616 617 - Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root 618 directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin] 619 620 - Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd 621 module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden] 622 623 - Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of 624 abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people 625 grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway. 626 627 - Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd 628 (the version already installed on the user's machine) would get 629 loaded instead of the one we're building & installing. 630 631 - Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't 632 require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois] 633 634 - Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay] 635 636 - Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on 637 older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root] 638 639 - Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there 640 won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of 641 disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke] 642 643 - Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a 644 syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern] 645 646 - The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were 647 lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're 648 restored now. [Craig A. Berry] 649 650 - File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat' 651 down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'. 652 This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax 653 parser. [Craig A. Berry] 654 655 - In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple 656 -> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in 657 the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed 658 with the rest of the stuff. 659 660 - Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with 661 older perls like 5.005. 662 663 - abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted 664 by Neil MacMullen] 665 666 - Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm 667 file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski] 668 6693.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004 670 671 - Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from 672 the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL. 673 674 - Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't 675 even begin to work. [Reported by many] 676 6773.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004 678 679 - Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution. 680 This was done because the two modules use each other fairly 681 extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another 682 distribution was deemed nigh-impossible. The code in revision 3.00 683 of PathTools should be equivalent to the code in Cwd 2.21 and 684 File::Spec 0.90. 685 686================================================================== 687Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two 688separate distributions. The revision history for Cwd is shown here. 689The revision history for File::Spec is further below. 690================================================================== 691 692Cwd 2.21 Tue Aug 31 22:50:14 CDT 2004 693 694 - Removed "NO_META" from the Makefile.PL, since I'm not building the 695 distribution with MakeMaker anyway. [Rohan Carly] 696 697 - Only test _perl_abs_path() on platforms where it's expected to work 698 (platforms with '/' as the directory separator). [Craig A. Berry] 699 700Cwd 2.20 Thu Jul 22 08:23:53 CDT 2004 701 702 - On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?) 703 occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster] 704 705 - Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32. 706 707 - Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path() 708 that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark] 709 To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't 710 otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE} 711 or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set. 712 713Cwd 2.19 Thu Jul 15 08:32:18 CDT 2004 714 715 - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's 716 fixed there. [Craig Berry] 717 718Cwd 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004 719 720 - Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could 721 only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This 722 was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path(). 723 724 - Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above. 725 726 - On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the 727 current working directory of the specified drive/volume. 728 [Steve Hay] 729 730 - Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY 731 compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] 732 733 - When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the 734 path separator is ':'. 735 736 - On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32), 737 don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed 738 up load time. [Stefan Scherer] 739 740 - The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as 741 the XS version (;$). 742 743Cwd 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004 744 745 - The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from 746 within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp -> 747 /private/tmp). 748 749Cwd 2.16 Sat Mar 6 17:56:31 CST 2004 750 751 - For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented 752 interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results 753 to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry] 754 755Cwd 2.15 Fri Jan 16 08:09:44 CST 2004 756 757 - Fixed a problem on static perl builds - while creating 758 Makefile.aperl, it was loading a mismatched version of Cwd from 759 blib/ . [Reported by Blair Zajac] 760 761Cwd 2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004 762 763 - We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular 764 expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This 765 fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No 766 changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay] 767 768Cwd 2.13 Fri Jan 2 22:29:42 CST 2004 769 770 - Changed a '//' comment to a '/* */' comment in the XS code, so that 771 it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] 772 773 - Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD 774 people] 775 776Cwd 2.12 Fri Dec 19 17:04:52 CST 2003 777 778 - Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been 779 tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant] 780 781Cwd 2.10 Mon Dec 15 07:50:12 CST 2003 782 783 (Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even 784 though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how 785 THAT happened...) 786 787 - There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which 788 isn't necessary. I've removed it. 789 790Cwd 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003 791 792 - The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl. 793 794 - We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of 795 Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard 796 lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if 797 you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL . 798 799 - Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim 800 of backporting this module to perl 5.005. 801 802 - Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls 803 carp()/croak(). 804 805 - Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael 806 Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich. 807 808 - Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression 809 tests. [Sam Vilain] 810 811Cwd 2.08 Wed Oct 15 20:56 CDT 2003 812 813 - Code extracted from perl 5.8.1 and packaged as a separate CPAN 814 release by Ken Williams. 815 816================================================================== 817Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two 818separate distributions. The revision history for File::Spec is shown 819here. The revision history for Cwd is above. 820================================================================== 821 822File::Spec 0.90 Tue Aug 31 22:34:50 CDT 2004 823 824 - On VMS, directories use vmspath() and files use vmsify(), so 825 rel2abs() has to use some 'educated guessing' when dealing with 826 paths containing slashes. [Craig A. Berry] 827 828File::Spec 0.89 Sun Aug 29 19:02:32 CDT 2004 829 830 - Fixed some pathological cases on VMS which broke canonpath() and 831 splitdir(). [Richard Levitte and Craig A. Berry] 832 833 - Fixed rel2abs() on VMS when passed a unix-style relative 834 path. [Craig A. Berry] 835 836File::Spec 0.88 Thu Jul 22 23:14:32 CDT 2004 837 838 - rel2abs() on Win32 will now use the new Cwd::getdcwd() function, so 839 that things like rel2abs('D:foo.txt') work properly when the 840 current drive isn't 'D'. This requires Cwd version 2.18. 841 [Steve Hay] 842 843 - Got rid of a redundant double-backslash in a character 844 class. [Alexander Farber] 845 846 - Added much markup to pod for enhanced readability. [Andy Lester] 847 848File::Spec 0.87 Fri Dec 19 08:03:28 CST 2003 849 850 - With a one-line change in the tests, backported to perl 5.004. 851 [Issue reported by Barry Kemble] 852 853File::Spec 0.86 Fri Sep 26 10:07:39 CDT 2003 854 855 - This is the version released with perl 5.8.1. It is identical to 856 the code in the File::Spec beta 0.85_03. 857 858File::Spec 0.85_03 Mon Sep 15 09:35:53 CDT 2003 859 860 - On VMS, if catpath() receives volume specifiers in both its first 861 two arguments, it will now use the volume in the first argument 862 only. Previously it returned a non-syntactical result which 863 included both volumes. This change is the same in spirit to the 864 catpath() MacOS change from version 0.85_02. 865 866 - Fixed an abs2rel() bug on VMS - previously 867 abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file','[t1.t2]') returned '[t3]file', now it 868 properly returns '[.t3]file'. 869 870File::Spec 0.85_02 Fri Sep 12 17:11:13 CDT 2003 871 872 - abs2rel() now behaves more consistently across platforms with the 873 notion of a volume. If the volumes of the first and second 874 argument (the second argument may be implicit) do not agree, we do 875 not attempt to reconcile the paths, and simply return the first 876 argument. Previously the volume of the second argument was 877 (usually) ignored, resulting in sometimes-garbage output. 878 879 - catpath() on MacOS now looks for a volume element (i.e. "Macintosh HD:") 880 in its first argument, and then its second argument. The first 881 volume found will be used, and if none is found, none will be used. 882 883 - Fixed a problem in abs2rel() on Win32 in which the volume of the 884 current working directory would get added to the second argument if 885 none was specified. This might have been somewhat helpful, but it 886 was contrary to the documented behavior. For example, 887 abs2rel('C:/foo/bar', '/foo') used to return 'bar', now it returns 888 'C:/foo/bar' because there's no guarantee /foo is actually C:/foo . 889 890 - catdir('/', '../') on OS2 previously erroneously returned '//..', 891 and now it returns '/'. 892 893File::Spec 0.85_01 Thu Sep 11 16:18:54 CDT 2003 894 895 Working toward 0.86, the version that will be released with perl 5.8.1. 896 897 - The t/rel2abs2rel.t test now is a little friendlier about emitting 898 its diagnostic debugging output. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] 899 900 - We now only require() Cwd when it's needed, on demand. [Michael 901 Schwern, Tels] 902 903 - Fixed some POD errors and redundancies in OS2.pm and Cygwin.pm. 904 [Michael Schwern] 905 906 - The internal method cwd() has been renamed to _cwd(), since it was 907 never meant for public use. [Michael Schwern] 908 909 - Several methods in File::Spec::Unix that just return constant 910 strings have been sped up. catdir() has also been sped up there. 911 [Tels] 912 913 - Several canonpath() and catdir() bugs on Win32 have been fixed, and 914 tests added for them: 915 catdir('/', '../') -> '\\' (was '\..') 916 catdir('/', '..\\') -> '\\ (was '') 917 canonpath('\\../') -> '\\' (was '') 918 canonpath('\\..\\') -> '\\' (was '') 919 canonpath('/../') -> '\\' (was '\..') 920 canonpath('/..\\') -> '\\' (was '') 921 catdir('\\', 'foo') -> '\foo' (was '\\foo') 922 923 - catpath($volume, $dirs, $file) on Mac OS now ignores any volume 924 that might be part of $dirs, enabling catpath($volume, 925 catdir(rootdir(), 'foo'), '') to work portably across platforms. 926 927File::Spec 0.85 Tue Jul 22 11:31 CDT 2003 928 929 A bug-fix release relative to 0.84. I've forked development into a 930 "stable" branch (this one) and a more aggressive branch (as yet 931 unreleased), with an eye toward getting the stable features in perl 932 5.8.1. 933 934 - File::Spec::Mac->case_tolerant() returned 0 when it should have 935 returned 1. 936 937 - Many cases in File::Spec::Win32->abs2rel() were broken, because of 938 the way in which volumes were/weren't ignored. Unfortunately, part 939 of the regression tests were broken too. Now, if the $path 940 argument to abs2rel() is on a different volume than the $base 941 argument, the result will be an absolute path rather than the 942 broken relative path previous versions returned. 943 944 - Fixed a problem in File::Spec::Win32->canonpath, which was turning 945 \../foo into "foo" rather than \foo 946 947 - Greatly simplified the code in File::Spec::Unix->splitdir(). 948 949File::Spec 0.84_01 Fri Jul 11 16:14:29 CDT 2003 950 951 No actual code changes, just changes in other distribution files 952 953 - Dependencies are now listed explicitly in the Makefile.PL and 954 Build.PL scripts, as well as in the META.yml file. 955 956 - The t/abs2rel2abs.t test should now be more friendly about skipping 957 on platforms where it can't run properly. 958 959File::Spec 0.84 Wed Jul 9 22:21:23 CDT 2003 960 961 I (Ken)'ve taken the changes from bleadperl and created a new CPAN release 962 from them, since they're pretty important changes. The highlights, 963 from what I can tell, are listed here. 964 965 - A huge number of changes to File::Spec::Mac in order to bring it in 966 line with the other platforms. This work was mostly/completely 967 done by Thomas Wegner. 968 969 - The Epoc and Cygwin platforms are now supported. 970 971 - Lots of generically-applicable documentation has been taken from 972 File::Spec::Unix and put in File::Spec. 973 974 - A Build.PL has been provided for people who wish to install via 975 Module::Build. 976 977 - Some spurious warnings and errors in the tests have been 978 eliminated. [Michael Schwern] 979 980 - canonpath() on File::Spec::Unix now honors a //node-name at the 981 beginning of a path. 982 983 - Cwd.pm wasn't being loaded properly on MacOS. [Chris Nandor] 984 985 - Various POD fixups 986 987 - Several testing patches for the Epoc and Cygwin platforms [Tels] 988 989 - When running under taint mode and perl >= 5.8, all the tmpdir() 990 implementations now avoid returning a tainted path. 991 992 - File::Spec::OS2 now implements canonpath(), splitpath(), 993 splitdir(), catpath(), abs2rel(), and rel2abs() directly rather 994 than inheriting them from File::Spec::Unix. 995 996 - Added 'SYS:/temp' and 'C:/temp' to the list of possible tmpdir()s 997 on Win32. 998 999 - catfile() on Win32 and VMS will now automatically call canonpath() 1000 on its final argument. 1001 1002 - canonpath() on Win32 now does a much more extensive cleanup of the 1003 path. 1004 1005 - abs2rel() on Win32 now defaults to using cwd() as the base of 1006 relativity when no base is given. 1007 1008 - abs2rel() on Win32 now explicitly ignores any volume component in 1009 the $path argument. 1010 1011 - canonpath() on VMS now does []foo ==> foo, and foo.000000] ==> foo]. 1012 It also fixes a bug in multiple [000000.foo ==> [foo translations. 1013 1014 - tmpdir() on VMS now uses 'sys$scratch:' instead of 'sys$scratch'. 1015 1016 - abs2rel() on VMS now uses '000000' in both the path and the base. 1017 1018File::Spec 0.82 Wed Jun 28 11:24:05 EDT 2000 1019 - Mac.pm: file_name_is_absolute( '' ) now returns TRUE on all platforms 1020 - Spec.pm: unbreak C<$VERSION = '0.xx'> to be C<$VERSION = 0.xx>, so 1021 underscores can be used when I want to update CPAN without anyone 1022 needing to update the perl repository. 1023 - abs2rel, rel2abs doc tweaks 1024 - VMS.pm: get $path =~ /\s/ checks from perl repository. 1025 - Makefile.PL: added INSTALLDIRS => 'perl', since these are std. modules. 1026 - Remove vestigial context prototypes from &rel2abs until some future 1027 arrives where method prototypes are honored. 1028
