---- Release V0.21 CPAN ----
- Temp.pm: Clean out $FILES_CREATED_BY_OBJECT when the destructor
runs. Otherwise memory does not get returned. Really bad idea for
daemons. (Thanks to Maxime Therreault RT #37621)
- Temp.pm: Integrate patches from bleadperl for cygwin. (thanks to
Jari Aalto RT #36376)
- t/seekable.t: seekable test was failing on perl 5.6.0 so we now
skip the specific test. (thanks to Zefram)
- Temp.pm: Remove the test on the parent directory to see if a file
can be written. This will be found out anyway as soon as the file open
is attempted. AFS systems may fail a -w test but still allow a file to
be created. (thanks to Christopher Ellison)
- Temp.pm: Put an eval around rmtree. Some versions of rmtree croak
if you attempt to remove a directory that you are inside. (debian bug
479317 and RT #35779).
2008-03-15 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
- Temp.pm: Localize special variables in END blocks and destructors.
2007-12-20 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>

File::Temp->newdir()
2007-11-15 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
- Temp.pm (tempdir): Add a note to the tempdir documentation to
clarify that the default is for the directory not to be temporary
and that use of an OO approach may be required (thanks to David
Golden's annotation on CPAN).
- Temp.pm (_randchar): Remove _randchar function (no longer used)
- Temp.pm: Add note about File::Tempdir module
2007-11-14 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>

object destructor deletes the file only when the current pid
matches the original pid (RT#11067 again - thanks to Grousse)
Added new test (fork.t) to test this behaviour.
- t/seekable.t: Add tests to verify fix for RT#22052
2007-11-01 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
- Temp.pm (issafe): Correct cluck message to match uid check
(thanks to Alexey Tourbin RT #14218)
- Temp.pm: Add note on use of binmode to modify encoding. (prompted
by Wolfgang Husmann)
2007-10-31 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
- Temp.pm (tempfile): Add TMPDIR flag to simplify
tempdir(template, DIR => File::Spec->tmpdir) and to remove confusion
for tempdir interface. (thanks to Brendan O'Dea - debian bug #351373)
- META.yml: Update to v1.0 spec YAML spec. (thanks to Alexandr Ciornii RT# 23524)
- Temp.pm: Localize $@ when using eval to prevent leakage (prompted by Zefram)

(thanks to Alexandr Ciornii RT #23524)
2007-10-31 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
- t/seekable.t: Skip seek test on older IO::Seekable versions.
(thanks to Sebastien Aperghis-Tramoni RT #23524)
- Temp.pm: Allow XXX replacement to run on perl 5.005 and 5.004.
(thanks to Sebastien Aperghis-Tramoni RT #23524)
2007-10-29 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
- Temp.pm: Fix range of random character determination such that the last character
in the list (_) will appear occassionally. (Thanks to Peter Dintelmann perl RT# 41345)
- Temp.pm: Clarify error message when parent directory does not exist (thanks to
Peter Dintelmann perl RT # 41346)
- Temp.pm: Carp::Heavy does not exist on older perls (eg 5.005) so wrap the require
in an eval (Thanks to Sebastien Aperghis-Tramoni, Jesse Vincent, Slaven Rezic
and Robin Barker RT #26841)
- Temp.pm: Replace "new File::Temp" with "File::Temp->new" at the behest of H. Merijn

be compared to filename directly. (Rafael Garcia-Suarez)
- Temp.pm: Remove umask control (was not thread-safe)
(thanks to Peter Dintelmann, Gisle Aas)
- t/cmp.t: New test file
- Temp.pm: Export SEEK_* constants (Matt Lawrence RT #22052)
2006-08-18 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
--- RELEASE 0.17 CPAN ----
- Temp.pm: Also inherit from IO::Seekable so that seek and tell
methods can work on filehandles (thanks to Rick Myers and Toby Corkindale).
- t/seekable.t: Add test script from Rick Myers.
- Temp.pm: Add note about forking and resetting the random number generator
to prevent multiple clashes of temp file names. (pointed out by Brent Cowgill)
- Temp.pm: pre-emptively load Carp::Heavy. If we don't when we run out of file
handles and attempt to call croak() we get an error message telling
us that Carp::Heavy won't load rather than an error telling us we
have run out of file handles. (pointed out by bjoern_at_hoehrmann.de RT #14151)
- Temp.pm: Remove eg. from comments and replace with e.g. In pod
replace "e.g." with "for example". (David Landgren)
- Temp.pm: Correct synopsis concerning the arguments to the
File::Temp constructor (Peter Valdemar Moerch).
- Temp.pm: Update documentation to note that croak() will be
called by tempfile() and File::Temp->new if a problem occurs (thanks to Steve
Hay for pointing this out).
2005-09-01 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
- Temp.pm: Sebastien Aperghis-Tramoni indicates that File::Temp
works with perl 5.004 so change the minimum perl version. (RT #14149)

control whether the temp file will be unlinked when the object
goes out of scope.
- Temp.pm: Increase maximum number of tries before aborting.
- Temp.pm: Add $KEEP_ALL to allow the temporary files to be
retained whilst debugging (suggestion from Ed Avis [and others]).
- Temp.pm: Temp files should have been opened O_NOFOLLOW rather
than O_FOLLOW! (thanks to Marc Tardif)
- Temp.pm: Add cleanup() function so that temp files that would be
removed by an END block can be removed by a daemon. (RT wishlist
item #6928 by Robert Rothenberg)
- Temp.pm: Force chmod on file before unlinking it. This can be a
problem on windows (see RT bug #6935). tempdir() has been fixed by
Slaven's earlier patch to change the rmtree arguments.
- Temp.pm (top_system_uid): Add interix patch from Todd Vierling
- Temp.pm (_gettemp): Pod patch from Steven Lembark clarifying the
error message associated with two few XXXXs

remove temporary files created by the current process ID (prompted
by Daniel Macks in RT bug #11067)

- Temp.pm (tmpfile): tmpfile returns undef on failure rather than
croaking.
2001-02-21 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
2000-11-24 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>

cross platform support and more skips on the basis that this is
not testing your system security, just the module.
2000-08-16 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
- Temp.pm (_gettemp): Dont use VMS::Stdio if we want the file
to remain after closing.
2000-08-15 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
- Temp.pm (cando_level): cygwin patch
2000-08-14 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>

2000-07-25 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>

2000-05-15 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>

to change

improves speed of the commands by nearly a factor of 3.
(replaceXX): Inline the character replacement code rather than
using _randchar subroutine. Improves performance by an additional 8%.
2000-04-27 Tim Jenness <tjenness@cpan.org>
- t/posix.t: Add explicit autoflush on filehandle
- t/mktemp.t: Add explicit autoflush on filehandle

return false if running on Windows.
(isverysafe): If PCCHOWN_RESTRICTED is not available assume
that "chown giveaway" is possible anyway.
(unlink0): If can not unlink an open file, simply defer removal
until later.
(gettemp): Add ONOINHERIT and O_TEMPORARY flags to sysopen if
they are available (Thanks to Tom Christiansen for this)
