Revision history for Perl extension VMS::Device.

0.01 Thu May 21 12:05:22 1998

• original version; created by h2xs 1.18

0.01 Tue May 26 16:48:34 1998

• All the items for device_info are in, along with appropriate bitmap decodes for them.

0.01 Tue May 26 22:54:04 1998 (Or too damn late)

• Added device_list (sans special hash) and decode_device_bitmap

0.01 Wed May 27 13:45:23 1998

• Changed device_list--no special hash. Now just takes two extra parameters.
• Added device_classes and device_types functions.

0.02 Wed May 27 17:03:32 1998

• Added allocate and deallocate functions. Keen!

0.02 Thu May 28 11:32:34 1998

• Fixed the example for total free blocks
• #ifdef'd all the device types and classes. (Yay, perl! :) Should function much better on non-alpha non-7.1 systems.

0.03 Mon Sep 28 10:48:43 1998

• Quick fix to the $GETDVIW call--I was leaving off an optional trailing parameter, and it bites folks on some platforms
• Added in #ifdefs for all the $GETDVI items. I think they're all valid on all versions of VMS, but it can't hurt to be careful.

0.04 Mon Sep 28 15:50:12 1998

• Added in code for initialize()

0.05 Wed Sep 30 20:36:12 1998

• Added code for mount() and, after way too long a struggle, got it working. Now module's completely implemented, though error checking and the like could stand to be beefed up. (Docs are still lousy too, alas)

0.06 Thu Mar 11 14:18:23

• Fixed a boneheaded error in decode_device_bitmaps. (& is bitwise and, not &&. Bloody C...)

0.07 Thu Aug 24 09:58:34 2000

• Updated to build against 5.6.0

0.08 Mon Dec 18 17:00:00 2000

• Added in a patch from Ed James to add names to the devclass and to fix up times some

0.09 Sun Aug 20 15:30 2006

• Fixed some memory leakage courtesy of Thomas Pfau.
• First maintenance upload by Craig Berry taking over from Dan.

0.10 Thu May 19 12:00 2011

• Added support for about a hundred new(er) item codes.
• Added ability to handle arbitrary-length bitmaps.
• Updated ppport.h.
• Changed #ifdef __ALPHA to #ifndef __VAX
