CHANGES
-------
2.009 20 April 2008
* Removed the alpha status from File::GlobMapper
* IO::Compress::Base
When writing output never output a zero length buffer.
Done to improve interoperability with other tied filenandle
modules.
* Changed IO::Uncompress::Base to not use the offset parameter of
the read method when reading from a filehandle.
The object returned from Net::FTP::retr implements a non-standard
read method. The third parameter is used for a timeout value
rather than an offset.
[rt.cpan#33231]
* Changed IO::Uncompress::Base to not use the eof method when
reading from a filehandle.
The object returned from Net::FTP::retr implements both the read
method and the eof method. Unfortunately the implementation of
the read method uses non-buffered IO (by using sysread) while
the eof method uses buffered IO. Mixing buffered and non-buffered
IO results in data corruption.
2.008 2 November 2007
* Minor documentation changes in README
2.006 1 September 20007
* Makefile.PL
Added INSTALLDIRS directive to install as a core module when built
on a perl >= 5.9.
2.005 18 June 2007
* Stephen Turner reported a problem when using IO::Uncompress::Gunzip
with XML::Parser. Turns out there were two issues.
Firstly an IO::Uncompress object isn't an IO::Handle. It is now.
Secondly the implementation of "read" wasn't honouring this
SCALAR will be grown or shrunk to the length actually read.
In particular it didn't do the right thing on EOF.
This has been fixed.
2.004 3 March 2007
* Made seek less wasteful of memory.
2.003 2 January 2007
* Added explicit version checking
2.002 29 December 2006
* Documentation updates.
* Added IO::Handle to the ISA test in isaFilehandle
* Add an explicit use_ok test for Scalar::Util in the test harness.
The error message reported by 01misc implied the problem was
somewhere else.
Also explictly check that 'dualvar' is available.
2.001 1 November 2006
* Remove beta status.
2.000_14 26 October 2006
* IO::Uncompress::Base
Added support for $/ in record mode
* IO::Uncompress::Base
The readline interface was substantially slower than the 1.x
equivalent. This has now been sorted.
Thanks to Andreas J. Koenig for spotting the problem.
* IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress
Added IO::Uncompress::Lzf to the list of supported uncompresors.
* IO::Uncompress::Base
Added TrailingData to one-shot interface.
* IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress
Remove raw-deflate (RFC1951) from the default list of compressors
to check.
It can still be included if the new RawInflate parameter is
supplied.
This change was made because the only way to tell if content is
raw-deflate is to attempt to uncompress it - a few false positives
have popped up recently, which suggests that auto-detecting raw
deflate is far from perfect.
The equivalent change has been made to IO::Uncompress::AnyInflate.
[Core patch #28445]
* Don't check that filehandles are writable. It would seem that
"-w *STDOUT" on windows returns false.
[Core Patch #28415]
2.000_13 20 June 2006
* Store compress & uncompressed sizes as 64-bit.
* For one-shot uncompression, like this
unzip "some.zip" => \@a, MultiStream => 1;
Push each uncompressed stream from "some.zip" onto @a.
* Added IO::Compress::Base::FilterEnvelope
* Added IO::Uncompress::Base::nextStream
* The '-' filehandle now maps to either *STDIN or *STDOUT.
This keeps mod_perl happier. Was using these before
new IO::File("<-")
new IO::File(">-")
2.000_12 3 May 2006
2.000_11 10 April 2006
* Transparent + InputLength made more robust where input data is not
compressed.
2.000_10 13 March 2006
* AnyUncompress doesn't assume that IO-Compress-Zlib is installed any
more.
2.000_09 3 March 2006
* Released to CPAN.
2.000_08 2 March 2006
* Split IO::Compress::Base into its own distribution.
* Added opened, autoflush and input_line_number.
* Beefed up support for $.
