- No functional changes since the previous release.
- Fixes POD links
(part of core change2a6dc37471bea77f0c24fd1fe90c598a270c9968,
Florian Ragwitz)
3.32 - Sun Sep 19 18:00:00 2010
- Promote to stable release.
3.31_03 - Fri Sep 17 20:00:00 2010
- Colon delimiter and escaped delimiters for File::Spec::VMS
This is core change 61196b433b2b (Craig A. Berry)

- Add TODO test for File::Spec->rel2abs() when under a symlink.
- Make catpath return an empty directory rather than the current

- Do not pack a Build.PL to avoid a circular dependency involving
ExtUtils::CBuilder (PathTools RT #50749)

(Mostly changes regarding the lib->ext migration)
3.30 - Sun May 10 10:55:00 2009
- Promote to stable release.
3.29_01 - Thu May 7 20:22:00 2009
- Minor fixes for QNX6. [Sean Boudreau]
- Update to support VMS in Unix compatible mode and/or file names using
extended character sets. (RT #42154) [John Malmberg]
- VMS support for Unix and extended file specifications in File::Spec
(RT #42153) [John Malmberg]
3.29 - Wed Oct 29 20:48:11 2008
- Promote to stable release.
3.28_03 - Mon Oct 27 22:12:11 2008
- In Cwd.pm, pass the un-munged $VERSION to XSLoader/DynaLoader,
otherwise development releases fail tests on Win32.
3.28_02 - Mon Oct 27 20:13:11 2008
- Fixed some issues on QNX/NTO related to paths with double
slashes. [Matt Kraai & Nicholas Clark]
3.28_01 - Fri Jul 25 21:18:11 2008
- Fixed and clarified the behavior of splitpath() with a $no_file
argument on VMS. [Craig A. Berry, Peter Edwards]
- Removed some function prototypes and other Perl::Critic violations.
- canonpath() and catdir() and catfile() on Win32 now make an
explicit (and unnecessary) copy of their arguments right away,
because apparently if we don't, we sabotage all of Win32dom. [RT
#33675]
- The Makefile.PL now has 'use 5.005;' to explicitly show what
minimum version of perl we support. [Spotted by Alexandr Ciornii]
3.2701 - Mon Feb 11 21:43:51 2008
- Fixed an edge case for Win32 catdir('C:', 'foo') and catfile('C:',
'foo.txt') (which the caller's not really supposed to do, that's
what catpath() is for) that changed between versions. Now we're
back to the old behavior, which was to return C:\foo and C:\foo.txt .
[Audrey Tang]
3.27 - Wed Jan 16 20:20:49 2008
- 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.
3.25 - Mon May 21 21:07:26 2007
- 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]
3.23 - Wed Oct 11 12:11:25 2006
- 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.
3.12 Mon Oct 3 22:09:12 CDT 2005
- Fixed a testing error on OS/2 in which a drive letter for the root
directory was confusing things. [Ilya Zakharevich]
- Integrated a patch from bleadperl for fixing path() on
Win32. [Gisle Aas]
3.11 Sat Aug 27 20:12:55 CDT 2005
- Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation for
File::Spec::Mac. [Piotr Fusik]
3.10 Thu Aug 25 22:24:57 CDT 2005
- eliminate_macros() and fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS are now
deprecated, since they are MakeMaker-specific and now live inside
MakeMaker. [Michael Schwern]
- canonpath() on Win32 now collapses foo/.. (or foo\..) sections
correctly, rather than doing the "misguided" work it was previously
doing. Note that canonpath() on Unix still does NOT collapse these
sections, as doing so would be incorrect. [Michael Schwern]
3.09 Tue Jun 14 20:36:50 CDT 2005
- Added some block delimiters (brackets) in the Perl_getcwd_sv() XS
function, which were necessary to separate the variable
declarations from the statements when HAS_GETCWD is not
defined. [Yves]
- Apparently the _NT_cwd() routine is never defined externally like I
thought it was, so I simplified the code around it.
- When cwd() is implemented using the _backtick_pwd() function, it
sometimes could create accidental undef entries in %ENV under perl
5.6, because local($hash{key}) is somewhat broken. This is now
fixed with an appropriate workaround. [Neil Watkiss]
3.08 Sat May 28 10:10:29 CDT 2005
- Fixed a test failure with fast_abs_path() on Windows - it was
sensitive to the rootdir() change from version 3.07. [Steve Hay]
3.07 Fri May 6 07:46:45 CDT 2005
- Fixed a bug in which the special perl variable $^O would become
tainted under certain versions of perl. [Michael Schwern]
- File::Spec->rootdir() was returning / on Win32. Now it returns \ .
[Michael Schwern]
- We now avoid modifying @_ in tmpdir() when it's not strictly
necessary, which reportedly provides a modest performance
boost. [Richard Soderberg]
- Made a couple of slight changes to the Win32 code so that it works
(or works better) on Symbian OS phones. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
3.06 Wed Apr 13 20:47:26 CDT 2005
(No changes in functionality)
- Added a note to the canonpath() docs about why it doesn't collapse
foo/../bar sections.
- The internal-only function bsd_realpath() in the XS file now uses
normal arg syntax instead of K&R syntax. [Nicholas Clark]
3.05 Mon Feb 28 07:22:58 CST 2005
- Fixed a bug in fast_abs_path() on Win32 in which forward- and
backward-slashes were confusing things. [demerphq]
- Failure to load the XS code in Cwd is no longer a fatal error
(though failure to compile it is still a fatal error in the build
process). This lets Cwd work under miniperl in the core. [Rafael
Garcia-Suarez]
- In the t/cwd.t test, don't enforce loading from blib/ if we're
testing in the perl core. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
3.04 Sun Feb 6 17:27:38 CST 2005
- For perls older than 5.006, the HAS_GETCWD symbol is not available,
because it wasn't checked for in older Configure scripts when perl
was built. We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C
function is defined on their platform when their perl is old.
Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by
several parties]
- Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker
doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib
file. [Jerry Hedden]
- Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had
read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry]
3.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005
- Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root
directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac]
- Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during
testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments
and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end.
- Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually
pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not
to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`.
3.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005
- Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root
directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin]
- Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd
module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden]
- Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of
abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people
grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway.
- Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd
(the version already installed on the user's machine) would get
loaded instead of the one we're building & installing.
- Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't
require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois]
- Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay]
- Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on
older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root]
- Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there
won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of
disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke]
- Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a
syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern]
- The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were
lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're
restored now. [Craig A. Berry]
- File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat'
down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'.
This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax
parser. [Craig A. Berry]
- In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple
-> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in
the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed
with the rest of the stuff.
- Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with
older perls like 5.005.
- abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted
by Neil MacMullen]
- Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm
file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski]
3.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004
- Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from
the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL.
- Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't
even begin to work. [Reported by many]
3.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004
- Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution.
This was done because the two modules use each other fairly
extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another
distribution was deemed nigh-impossible. The code in revision 3.00
of PathTools should be equivalent to the code in Cwd 2.21 and
File::Spec 0.90.
==================================================================
Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two
separate distributions. The revision history for Cwd is shown here.
The revision history for File::Spec is further below.
==================================================================
Cwd 2.21 Tue Aug 31 22:50:14 CDT 2004
- Removed "NO_META" from the Makefile.PL, since I'm not building the
distribution with MakeMaker anyway. [Rohan Carly]
- Only test _perl_abs_path() on platforms where it's expected to work
(platforms with '/' as the directory separator). [Craig A. Berry]
Cwd 2.20 Thu Jul 22 08:23:53 CDT 2004
- On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?)
occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster]
- Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32.
- Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path()
that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark]
To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't
otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE}
or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set.
Cwd 2.19 Thu Jul 15 08:32:18 CDT 2004
- The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's
fixed there. [Craig Berry]
Cwd 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004
- Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could
only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This
was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path().
- Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above.
- On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the
current working directory of the specified drive/volume.
[Steve Hay]
- Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY
compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
- When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the
path separator is ':'.
- On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32),
don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed
up load time. [Stefan Scherer]
- The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as
the XS version (;$).
Cwd 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004
- The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from
within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp ->
/private/tmp).
Cwd 2.16 Sat Mar 6 17:56:31 CST 2004
- For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented
interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results
to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry]
Cwd 2.15 Fri Jan 16 08:09:44 CST 2004
- Fixed a problem on static perl builds - while creating
Makefile.aperl, it was loading a mismatched version of Cwd from
blib/ . [Reported by Blair Zajac]
Cwd 2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004
- We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular
expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This
fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No
changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay]
Cwd 2.13 Fri Jan 2 22:29:42 CST 2004
- Changed a '//' comment to a '/* */' comment in the XS code, so that
it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
- Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD
people]
Cwd 2.12 Fri Dec 19 17:04:52 CST 2003
- Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been
tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant]
Cwd 2.10 Mon Dec 15 07:50:12 CST 2003
(Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even
though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how
THAT happened...)
- There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which
isn't necessary. I've removed it.
Cwd 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003
- The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl.
- We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of
Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard
lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if
you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL .
- Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim
of backporting this module to perl 5.005.
- Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls
carp()/croak().
- Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael
Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich.
- Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression
tests. [Sam Vilain]
Cwd 2.08 Wed Oct 15 20:56 CDT 2003
- Code extracted from perl 5.8.1 and packaged as a separate CPAN
release by Ken Williams.
==================================================================
Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two
separate distributions. The revision history for File::Spec is shown
here. The revision history for Cwd is above.
==================================================================
File::Spec 0.90 Tue Aug 31 22:34:50 CDT 2004
- On VMS, directories use vmspath() and files use vmsify(), so
rel2abs() has to use some 'educated guessing' when dealing with
paths containing slashes. [Craig A. Berry]
File::Spec 0.89 Sun Aug 29 19:02:32 CDT 2004
- Fixed some pathological cases on VMS which broke canonpath() and
splitdir(). [Richard Levitte and Craig A. Berry]
- Fixed rel2abs() on VMS when passed a unix-style relative
path. [Craig A. Berry]
File::Spec 0.88 Thu Jul 22 23:14:32 CDT 2004
- rel2abs() on Win32 will now use the new Cwd::getdcwd() function, so
that things like rel2abs('D:foo.txt') work properly when the
current drive isn't 'D'. This requires Cwd version 2.18.
[Steve Hay]
- Got rid of a redundant double-backslash in a character
class. [Alexander Farber]
- Added much markup to pod for enhanced readability. [Andy Lester]
File::Spec 0.87 Fri Dec 19 08:03:28 CST 2003
- With a one-line change in the tests, backported to perl 5.004.
[Issue reported by Barry Kemble]
File::Spec 0.86 Fri Sep 26 10:07:39 CDT 2003
- This is the version released with perl 5.8.1. It is identical to
the code in the File::Spec beta 0.85_03.
File::Spec 0.85_03 Mon Sep 15 09:35:53 CDT 2003
- On VMS, if catpath() receives volume specifiers in both its first
two arguments, it will now use the volume in the first argument
only. Previously it returned a non-syntactical result which
included both volumes. This change is the same in spirit to the
catpath() MacOS change from version 0.85_02.
- Fixed an abs2rel() bug on VMS - previously
abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file','[t1.t2]') returned '[t3]file', now it
properly returns '[.t3]file'.
File::Spec 0.85_02 Fri Sep 12 17:11:13 CDT 2003
- abs2rel() now behaves more consistently across platforms with the
notion of a volume. If the volumes of the first and second
argument (the second argument may be implicit) do not agree, we do
not attempt to reconcile the paths, and simply return the first
argument. Previously the volume of the second argument was
(usually) ignored, resulting in sometimes-garbage output.
- catpath() on MacOS now looks for a volume element (i.e. "Macintosh HD:")
in its first argument, and then its second argument. The first
volume found will be used, and if none is found, none will be used.
- Fixed a problem in abs2rel() on Win32 in which the volume of the
current working directory would get added to the second argument if
none was specified. This might have been somewhat helpful, but it
was contrary to the documented behavior. For example,
abs2rel('C:/foo/bar', '/foo') used to return 'bar', now it returns
'C:/foo/bar' because there's no guarantee /foo is actually C:/foo .
- catdir('/', '../') on OS2 previously erroneously returned '//..',
and now it returns '/'.
File::Spec 0.85_01 Thu Sep 11 16:18:54 CDT 2003
Working toward 0.86, the version that will be released with perl 5.8.1.
- The t/rel2abs2rel.t test now is a little friendlier about emitting
its diagnostic debugging output. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
- We now only require() Cwd when it's needed, on demand. [Michael
Schwern, Tels]
- Fixed some POD errors and redundancies in OS2.pm and Cygwin.pm.
[Michael Schwern]
- The internal method cwd() has been renamed to _cwd(), since it was
never meant for public use. [Michael Schwern]
- Several methods in File::Spec::Unix that just return constant
strings have been sped up. catdir() has also been sped up there.
[Tels]
- Several canonpath() and catdir() bugs on Win32 have been fixed, and
tests added for them:
catdir('/', '../') -> '\\' (was '\..')
catdir('/', '..\\') -> '\\ (was '')
canonpath('\\../') -> '\\' (was '')
canonpath('\\..\\') -> '\\' (was '')
canonpath('/../') -> '\\' (was '\..')
canonpath('/..\\') -> '\\' (was '')
catdir('\\', 'foo') -> '\foo' (was '\\foo')
- catpath($volume, $dirs, $file) on Mac OS now ignores any volume
that might be part of $dirs, enabling catpath($volume,
catdir(rootdir(), 'foo'), '') to work portably across platforms.
File::Spec 0.85 Tue Jul 22 11:31 CDT 2003
A bug-fix release relative to 0.84. I've forked development into a
"stable" branch (this one) and a more aggressive branch (as yet
unreleased), with an eye toward getting the stable features in perl
5.8.1.
- File::Spec::Mac->case_tolerant() returned 0 when it should have
returned 1.
- Many cases in File::Spec::Win32->abs2rel() were broken, because of
the way in which volumes were/weren't ignored. Unfortunately, part
of the regression tests were broken too. Now, if the $path
argument to abs2rel() is on a different volume than the $base
argument, the result will be an absolute path rather than the
broken relative path previous versions returned.
- Fixed a problem in File::Spec::Win32->canonpath, which was turning
\../foo into "foo" rather than \foo
- Greatly simplified the code in File::Spec::Unix->splitdir().
File::Spec 0.84_01 Fri Jul 11 16:14:29 CDT 2003
No actual code changes, just changes in other distribution files
- Dependencies are now listed explicitly in the Makefile.PL and
Build.PL scripts, as well as in the META.yml file.
- The t/abs2rel2abs.t test should now be more friendly about skipping
on platforms where it can't run properly.
File::Spec 0.84 Wed Jul 9 22:21:23 CDT 2003
I (Ken)'ve taken the changes from bleadperl and created a new CPAN release
from them, since they're pretty important changes. The highlights,
from what I can tell, are listed here.
- A huge number of changes to File::Spec::Mac in order to bring it in
line with the other platforms. This work was mostly/completely
done by Thomas Wegner.
- The Epoc and Cygwin platforms are now supported.
- Lots of generically-applicable documentation has been taken from
File::Spec::Unix and put in File::Spec.
- A Build.PL has been provided for people who wish to install via
Module::Build.
- Some spurious warnings and errors in the tests have been
eliminated. [Michael Schwern]
- canonpath() on File::Spec::Unix now honors a //node-name at the
beginning of a path.
- Cwd.pm wasn't being loaded properly on MacOS. [Chris Nandor]
- Various POD fixups
- Several testing patches for the Epoc and Cygwin platforms [Tels]
- When running under taint mode and perl >= 5.8, all the tmpdir()
implementations now avoid returning a tainted path.
- File::Spec::OS2 now implements canonpath(), splitpath(),
splitdir(), catpath(), abs2rel(), and rel2abs() directly rather
than inheriting them from File::Spec::Unix.
- Added 'SYS:/temp' and 'C:/temp' to the list of possible tmpdir()s
on Win32.
- catfile() on Win32 and VMS will now automatically call canonpath()
on its final argument.
- canonpath() on Win32 now does a much more extensive cleanup of the
path.
- abs2rel() on Win32 now defaults to using cwd() as the base of
relativity when no base is given.
- abs2rel() on Win32 now explicitly ignores any volume component in
the $path argument.
- canonpath() on VMS now does []foo ==> foo, and foo.000000] ==> foo].
It also fixes a bug in multiple [000000.foo ==> [foo translations.
- tmpdir() on VMS now uses 'sys$scratch:' instead of 'sys$scratch'.
- abs2rel() on VMS now uses '000000' in both the path and the base.
File::Spec 0.82 Wed Jun 28 11:24:05 EDT 2000
- Mac.pm: file_name_is_absolute( '' ) now returns TRUE on all platforms
- Spec.pm: unbreak C<$VERSION = '0.xx'> to be C<$VERSION = 0.xx>, so
underscores can be used when I want to update CPAN without anyone
needing to update the perl repository.
- abs2rel, rel2abs doc tweaks
- VMS.pm: get $path =~ /\s/ checks from perl repository.
- Makefile.PL: added INSTALLDIRS => 'perl', since these are std. modules.
- Remove vestigial context prototypes from &rel2abs until some future
arrives where method prototypes are honored.
