Revision history for Perl extension File::Path.

2.08 2009-10-04 10:14:36 UTC

• make_path() can now set user- and group-ownership on created directories. (Suggested by Jens Rehsack, CPAN #47558).

2.07_03 2009-06-21 13:11:30 UTC

• Merged 2.07_02 patches from blead
• Remove stat checks on Windows platform (inhibits UNC path removals from working, and Windows is immune to this particular attack). CPAN #34701

2.07 2008-11-09 13:05:50 UTC

• Another VMS test tweak from Craig and additional improvements from Gisle.

2.06_08 2008-11-05 00:11:17 UTC

• More documentation tweaks from Gisle Aas.
• VMS tweaks courtesy of Craig A. Berry (cpan #40512).

2.06_07 2008-10-29 14:20:16 UTC

• Silence 'uninitialized warning' reported in #36615.
• Fix $Force_Writeable issue reported in #36982 (see also http://bugs.debian.org/487319).
• Code style improvements and documentation improvements from Gisle Aas.

2.06_06 2008-10-05 21:55:34 UTC

• Documentation improvements, no code changes.

2.06_05 2008-10-02 20:30:17 UTC

• Introduce make_path() and rm_tree() API extension.
• Remove problematic test revealed by Matt Kraal on QNX (see http://nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/140187)

2.06_04 2008-05-13 14:28:10 UTC

• Can't use \S+ if a directory name contains a space (which it will may do on Windows (the continuing saga of CPAN #35708)).

2.06_03 2008-05-12 20:17:33 UTC

• ancestor removal test getting slashed up on Windows (see CPAN #35708).

2.06_02 2008-05-12 09:53:39 UTC

• Problem on Windows where c:\path\to\dir was not considered to be underneath C:/Path/To (issues of directory separators and case sensitivity). As reported in smoke report http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/05/msg1435813.html

2.06_01 2008-05-10 20:54:35 UTC

• Close directory handle in t/Path.t with closedir (close is close but incorrect). Problem identified with Strawberry Perl.

2.06 2008-05-08 09:27:24 UTC

• skip counts for ancestor rmpath() tests were wrong
• fix old/new interface heuristics as per Gisle Aas http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2008/05/msg136625.html

2.05 2008-05-07 08:20:20 UTC

• better diagnosics and less panicking when removing an ancestor path. Reported by Alan Ferrency and patch suggested by Michael Schilli (#31721).
• fix typo spotted by Brendan O'Dea (#35623).

2.04 2007-11-22 13:43:34 UTC

• integrate blead change #32276 (rmtree a file on VMS) (see http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.changes/2007/11/msg20108.html)
• add a test to show that we can rmtree() a file
• specify core prereqs in Makefile.PL (as per cpants)

2.03 2007-11-04 18:11:51 UTC

• On 5.8.x, the installation would be shadowed by the core files, and thus not be visible. Makefile.PL tweaked appropriately to ensure that the installation overwrites the core files. Users on 5.6 and below need not upgrade, users on 5.8 should. Bug spotted by imacat (#30459).
• Minor changes to the way POD tests are initialised.

2.02 2007-10-24 10:05:30 UTC

• documentation correction fix only: corrected name of module File::Find::Rule. Users need not upgrade.

2.01 2007-09-29 10:16:34 UTC

• the documentation referred to 'skip_others', but the attribute is named 'safe'.
• correctly test VMS behaviour when safe attribute is set.

2.00_11 2007-09-08 12:51:30 UTC

• depth attribute (for keep_root functiionality) was not correctly initialised in both old and new APIs
• initial chdir() into a child dir would fail on strange protection masks (following race condition fix).
• delete subsequent root paths even if a previous one fails

2.00_10 2007-09-04 17:18:01 UTC

• Infinite loop fix in _rmtree() for VMS (perl change #31775)
• Documentation improvements

2.00_09 2007-08-20 18:08:31 UTC

• Fixed up a few oddments in the race prevention code
• Reworded/reworked the diagnostics

2.00_08 2007-08-01 00:04:35 UTC

• Fix race condition in rmtree() as inspired by http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79685

2.00_07 2007-07-09 19:33:52 UTC

• 2.00_06 upload unfortunately contained blib directories

2.00_06 2007-07-04 21:34:14 UTC

• Incorporate code changes from blead
• Skip counts off by one

2.00_05 2007-06-27 21:23:25 UTC

• Use catfile() instead of catdir() in _mkpath() for VMS, patch from Craig Berry.
• Don't use warnings (my code doesn't have errors anyway), code change suggested by Rafael Garcia-Suarez.
• Don't pass LICENSE key to WriteMakefile in Makefile.PL if the installed version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker is not sufficiently modern.

1.99_02 2007-05-27 09:25:53 UTC

• Don't allow a directory named '' (empty string) to be created.
• File::Spec routines catdir() and updir() interact differently on Win32
