Revision history for Perl extension File-Remove

1.56    2016-03-23 - Shlomi Fish
    - Remove the Build.PL so there won't be two build files.
        - https://github.com/shlomif/File-Remove/pull/1
        - I think it doesn't matter too much with Dist-Zilla, but to avoid
        future complaints, I decided to comply with the request.
        - Thanks to Karen Etheridge (ETHER) for the report.

1.55    2016-01-11 - Shlomi Fish

        - The \r-s confused Dist-Zilla abstract extraction.

1.52    2012-03-19 - Adam Kennedy
	- No functional changes
	- Updating Module::Install to 1.06
	- Moved File::Spec dependency to 3.29 to fix problems with
	  four-digit decimal dependencies in some downstream packaging
	  systems.

1.51    2011-10-27 - Adam Kennedy
	- END-time deletion by clear() is now fork-safe, it will only remove
	  paths created in the same process.

1.50    2011-07-11 - Adam Kennedy
	- Adding a second skip for the known-bad cygwin file permissions problem

1.49    2011-03-14 - Adam Kennedy
	- Restoring 02_directories to no_plan as it runs different test counts
	  on different systems.

1.48    2011-03-11 - Adam Kennedy
	- Promoting dev code to production version
	- Fixed a major bug in the 1.46 logic that works out what to change the
	  cwd to when deleting while inside a directory.

1.47_01     2011-02-18 - Adam Kennedy
	- Add test counts to all test scripts
	- Added a test for space-safe globs

1.46    2011-02-18 - Adam Kennedy
	- No changes from 1.45_01
	- CPAN Testers likes the dev release, moving to production release

1.45_01  2011-02-17 - Adam Kennedy
	- Updated to Module::Install::DSL 1.00
	- Skip test on cygwin due to non-root users not being able to deny
	  themselves write permissions to files.
	- Added a test to delete directories when the current working
	  directory is inside the location to delete (ADAMK)
	- Fixes for trash() with callbacks and on Mac (MIYAGAWA)

1.42    2008-07-03 - Adam Kennedy
	- Updated to Module::Install 0.76
	- Updated bundled author tests
	- Added the test_remove function
	- Localising $@ during eval calls

1.41    2008-06-02 - Adam Kennedy
	- No functional changes
	- Updating location of author tests
	- Switching to Module::Install again, to generate a better META.yml

1.40    2008-02-23 - Adam Kennedy
	- Dev release looks good, changing to production release

1.39_01 2008-02-20 - Adam Kennedy
	- Fixed rt.cpan.org #30251 "removing dirs enclosed by curly braces"
	- remove now ignores globbing if -e is true BEFORE globbing
	  (This should fix numerous possible failures where people are trying
	   delete strangely named files, but globbing is kicking in and
	   expanding the names incorrectly)
	- Moving to a production-grade version to indicate module stability
	- Adding explicit 5.005 dependency
	  (Primarily for the benefit of automated quality/anaylsis tools)

0.39    2007-11-12 - Adam Kennedy
	- No functional changes
	- Updating to Module::Install 0.68

0.38    2007-10-15 - Adam Kennedy
	- Removed an extremely dangerous and reckless test case that tried
	  to delete a soft link to root and (when it failed) deleted the
	  actual root directory.

0.37    2007-07-08 - Adam Kennedy
	- Restoring support for broken symlinks (Marek Rouchal)
	- Adding tests for the broken symlink case (Marek Rouchal)
	- Tidying up the Changes file a bit

0.36    2007-06-30 - Adam Kennedy
	- Avoid the installation of Mac::Glue.
	  (It should not be necesary to test voice synthesis to delete a file)
	- Anyone truly needing "trash" support will need to add a dependency
	  on Mac::Glue themself. The function may be split out of File::Remove
	  later down the track.
	- Constanting the debugger flag for a minor speed and memory improvement
	- Copy in a known-readonly flag for more accurate testing on Win32
	- Remove assumption that -w implied deletion rights on Win32
	- Validate that the file was actually deleted.
	- Add better mode-handling for files.
	- Add smarter implementation of "candelete" logic.

0.35    2007-02-09
	- Update makefile to require Mac::Glue version compatible with Intel macs
	- Change pod heading from "methods" to "subroutines" [RT#13687]
	- No functional changes from 0.34

0.34    2006-11-06
	- Update t/03 to skip the "is this file not writable" test when
	  it would fail because the tests are being run by root (as sometimes
	  happens when installing Perl modules).

0.33    2006-10-24
	- Previous release tested ok.
	- Incrementing for production release.
	- No functional changes

0.32_01     2006-10-23
	- Use File::Spec to clean/canon paths instead of hand-stripping trailing slash
	- Apply the File::Path "safe" check manually for the root only, and
	  use File::Path itself with safe OFF, so that we can handle deleting
	  deep readonly files (and do it properly on VMS)
	- Added a test for the deletion of deep readonly files
	- Removing the use of "our" variables to try and get the Perl version
	  dependency back to at least 5.005.
	- Report "deleted" for non-existant files they want to delete
	- Report the path they pass, but for dir USE a File::Spec->canonpath

0.31    2005-12-28
	- Applied Eric Hanchrow's patch to support filenames with spaces.
	- Skip recycle tests unless recycle/trash support is available.

0.30    2005-07-14
	- Applied CNANDOR's patch to fix trash() support on OS X 10.4.

0.29    2004-12-04
	- Stabilize undelete support for OS X and Windows.

0.26    2004-11-16
	- Fix the synopsis.

0.25    2004-11-15
	- Renamed undelete() to trash(), to be more clear.
	- Allow users to provide their own rmdir/unlink to trash().
	- Re-disabled debugging by default.

0.24    2004-11-15
	- Add undelete support for OS X (via Mac::Glue).
	- Fix undelete overloading of unlink/rmdir and update tests.
	- Fix the documentation to be readable with perldoc.

0.23    2004-11-15
	- Add undelete supportand tests (currently only for Win32, via
	  Win32::FileOp).

0.22    2004-11-15
	- Add the first set of tests.

0.21    2004-07-20
	- Converted the internals to File::Spec.
	- Maintenance transferred by modules@perl.org to Richard Soderberg.
	  Please e-mail bug reports to <bug-File-Remove@rt.cpan.org>.

0.20    1998-04-15
	- Now you can pass a scalar reference as the first argument and it
	  will used as the recursive flag when removing directories.  With
	  recursive flag set to 0 only the files in the directory are
	  removed and no attempt is made to recurse into subdirectories.
	  Nevertheless, if the directory becomes empty it is removed.

0.12    1998-04-14
	- change the umask and set the permission on directories so we can
	  remove the files

0.11    1998-04-13
	- changed the return values to successes rather than failures since
	  it makes more sense.

0.10    1998-04-10
	- original version
