f4c6fd49 RGS |
99 | 1.34 - 30 January 2005 |
100 | ||
101 | * Fixed typo in the README | |
102 | ||
103 | * Fixed examples.t on Win32 where paths have embedded whitespace. | |
104 | ||
105 | * Fix for Cygwin and core integration from Jos I. Boumans | |
106 | ||
107 | * Upgrade zlib source to 1.2.2 | |
108 | ||
109 | 1.33 - 14 January 2004 | |
110 | ||
111 | * Reworked Makefile.PL to avoid creating a private copy of zlib. | |
112 | This both simplifies the build, plus it makes life easier for VMS. | |
113 | ||
114 | * Patches for Makefile.PL to get it to work on VMS supplied by | |
115 | Craig A. Berry. | |
116 | ||
117 | * memGunzip has very slow on FreeBSD. Turns out to be down to | |
118 | the way realloc works on FreeBSD. Changed both inflate & deflate | |
119 | to use exponentially increasing buffer sizes when they need to | |
120 | realloc. Thanks to Peter Jeremy for the lowdown on FreeBSD | |
121 | memory allocation. | |
122 | ||
123 | 1.32 - 26 November 2003 | |
124 | ||
125 | * Steve Hay reported a problem on rt.cpan.org with Windows and | |
126 | MSCV++ 6.0 where the source from the zlib directory was getting | |
127 | installed with the rest of the module. | |
128 | https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1741 | |
129 | ||
130 | This has been fixed by renaming the "zlib" directory to "zlib-src" | |
131 | thus avoiding a conflict with the name of this Perl module. | |
132 | ||
133 | * Fixed a bug in the inflate method where the input buffer is an | |
134 | lvalue (via substr). Problem & solution reported by Salvador Fandiqo. | |
135 | ||
136 | * Tightened up the logic in Makefile.PL when BUILD_ZLIB is | |
137 | True. Issue spotted by Ralf S. Engelschall. | |
138 | ||
139 | 1.31 - 29 October 2003 | |
140 | ||
141 | * Reinstated the creation of .bak files - $^I seems to need a | |
642e522c | 142 | backup file on Windows. For OpenVMS, the extenstion _bak is used. |
f4c6fd49 RGS |
143 | |
144 | 1.30 - 28 October 2003 | |
145 | ||
146 | * Bundled a sub-set of the zlib source with the module and changed | |
147 | the default make behaviour to build with the included zlib source. | |
148 | The previous behaviour of using a pre-built zlib library is | |
149 | still available for those that want it. | |
150 | ||
151 | * Added prototypes to the subs in Zlib.pm that didn't already have | |
152 | them. Patch from Ed Avis. | |
153 | ||
154 | * No .bak files are created by Makefile.PL any more - this keep | |
155 | distclean much happier. Patch suggested by Ed Avis. | |
156 | This also fixes a similar problem reported by Dr. Martin Zinser | |
157 | on OpenVMS. | |
158 | ||
159 | * Documentation for some of the gz functions updated. | |
160 | ||
161 | * Format strings modified in DispStream to keep OpenVMS happy. | |
162 | Problem reported by Dr. Martin Zinser. | |
163 | ||
164 | ||
165 | 1.22 - 17 June 2003 | |
166 | ||
167 | * Makefile.PL now displays a warning about not installing | |
168 | Compress::Zlib via the CPAN shell. | |
169 | ||
170 | * Fix to allow intermingling of gzread & gzreadline - patch | |
171 | supplied by Doug Perham. | |
172 | ||
173 | * memGunzip will silently now work if the gzip trailer is | |
174 | missing. Some HTTP Origin Servers seem to leave it out. | |
175 | ||
176 | 1.21 - 28 April 2003 | |
177 | ||
178 | * Tests 148 & 150 from t/02zlib.t were failing on redhat 9. | |
179 | ||
180 | * Added a few words about the problems with Mac OS X to the README file. | |
181 | ||
182 | 1.20 - 4 April 2003 | |
183 | ||
184 | * Fixed bug in gzopen where $gzerrno wasn't being set correctly. | |
185 | The symptom was $gzerrno was set to Z_MEM_ERROR although the file | |
186 | was opened ok. If gzopen failed, $gzerrno was being set correctly. | |
187 | This problem wasn't spotted before because the typical test | |
188 | to determine whether gzopen passed or failed was to check its | |
189 | return value. | |
190 | ||
191 | 1.19 - 31 October 2002 | |
192 | ||
193 | * fixed a problem with t/02zlib.t that was failing with redhat 8. | |
194 | ||
195 | 1.18 - 24 October 2002 | |
196 | ||
197 | * fixed a Win32 problem in t/02zlib.t by changing sysread to read. | |
198 | ||
199 | * zlib 1.0.5 & older doesn't have gzsetparams & gzeof. Added a new | |
200 | variable to config.in to flag an old version of zlib. Split | |
201 | out the tests for gzsetparams into t/05gzsetp.t | |
202 | ||
642e522c | 203 | 1.17 - 23 May 2002 |
f4c6fd49 RGS |
204 | |
205 | * Moved the test to check the versions of libz & zlib.h into a separate | |
206 | file and added troubleshooting notes to README. | |
207 | ||
208 | * In gzopen, only attempt to call "tell" for normal files. | |
209 | ||
642e522c RGS |
210 | * Fixed to work in taint mode. |
211 | ||
f4c6fd49 RGS |
212 | * Broke changes out of README into Changes file. |
213 | ||
214 | * Replaced internal use of Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH symbol with Z_SYNC_FLUSH. | |
215 | zlib.h says /* will be removed, use Z_SYNC_FLUSH instead */ | |
216 | ||
f4c6fd49 RGS |
217 | 1.16 - 13 December 2001 |
218 | ||
219 | * Fixed bug in Makefile.PL that stopped "perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=..." | |
220 | working. | |
221 | ||
222 | 1.15 - 4th December 2001 | |
223 | ||
224 | * Changes a few types to get the module to build on 64-bit Solaris | |
225 | ||
226 | * Changed the up/downgrade logic to default to the older constructs, and | |
227 | to only call a downgrade if specifically requested. Some older versions | |
228 | of Perl were having problems with the in-place edit. | |
229 | ||
230 | * added the new XS constant code. | |
231 | ||
232 | 1.14 - 27th August 2001 | |
233 | ||
234 | * Memory overwrite bug fixed in "inflate". Kudos to Rob Simons for | |
235 | reporting the bug and to Anton Berezin for fixing it for me. | |
236 | ||
237 | 1.13 - 31st June 2001 | |
238 | ||
642e522c | 239 | * Make sure config.in is consistant when released. |
f4c6fd49 RGS |
240 | |
241 | 1.12 - 28th April 2001 | |
242 | ||
243 | * Modified Makefile.PL to only enable the warnings pragma if | |
244 | using perl 5.6.1 or better. | |
245 | ||
246 | 1.11 - 17th February 2001 | |
247 | ||
248 | * Added logic in Makefile.PL to toggle between using $^W and | |
249 | the warnings pragma in the module. | |
250 | ||
251 | * The module, the examples & the test harness are now all strict | |
252 | & warnings clean. | |
253 | ||
254 | 1.10 - 5th February 2001 | |
255 | ||
256 | * fixed a bug in memGunzip. Used Z_ERR instead of Z_DATA_ERROR. | |
257 | ||
258 | 1.09 - 15th January 2001 | |
259 | ||
260 | * Silenced a few compiler warnings. | |
261 | ||
262 | * Updated zlib home site in README & Zlib.pm to www.info-zip.org | |
263 | ||
264 | * Minor typo in Zlib.pm - a link used AUTHORS instead of AUTHOR | |
265 | -- spotted by Frank Martini. | |
266 | ||
267 | * Mention Archive::Zip | |
268 | ||
269 | * added memGunzip. This is largely based on code provided by Jim Leonard. | |
270 | ||
271 | * $deflate->flush can now take an optional parameter. Valid | |
272 | values are Z_NO_FLUSH, Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH, Z_SYNC_FLUSH, Z_FULL_FLUSH | |
273 | and Z_FINISH. The default is Z_FINISH. | |
274 | ||
275 | 1.08 - 6 Jan 2000 | |
276 | ||
277 | * uncompress was clobbering its input parameter. Now it doesn't. | |
278 | This bug was spotted by Deven T. Corzine. | |
279 | ||
280 | * If a variable that only ever contained a number was given | |
281 | to compress or deflate, it would not be compressed properly. Now | |
282 | it will be coerced to a string and then compressed. This bug | |
283 | was spotted by Deven T. Corzine. | |
284 | ||
285 | 1.07 - 27 Nov 1999 | |
286 | ||
287 | * ANSI-ified the static functions in Zlib.xs | |
288 | ||
289 | * Added the ability to build zlib along with the module. | |
290 | This feature is 90% based on a Makefile provided by Gurusamy | |
291 | Sarathy. | |
292 | ||
293 | 1.06 - 20 Sep 1999 | |
294 | ||
295 | * Fixed a nasty problem where inflate could truncate the data | |
296 | returned. Thanks to Douglas Thomson <dougt@mugc.cc.monash.edu.au> | |
297 | for both spotting the problem and fixing the bug. | |
298 | ||
299 | * Added a note about the undocumented features in zlib that are | |
300 | required when accessing zip files. | |
301 | ||
302 | * gzclose will now get called automatically when the gzip object is | |
303 | destroyed. | |
304 | ||
305 | 1.05 - 3 June 1999 | |
306 | ||
307 | * Previous release used newSVpvn, which doesn't exist in 5.004_04 | |
308 | or earlier. Changed to use newSVpv instead. | |
309 | ||
310 | * The module needs Perl 5.004 or better, so updated the version | |
311 | checking in Zlib.pm and Makefile.PL | |
312 | ||
313 | 1.04 - 27 May 1999 | |
314 | ||
315 | * Bug 19990527.001: compress(undef) core dumps -- Fixed. | |
316 | ||
317 | 1.03 - 17 Mar 1999 | |
318 | ||
319 | * Updated to use the new PL_ symbols. | |
320 | Means the module can be built with Perl 5.005_5* | |
321 | ||
322 | 1.02 - 31 Jan 1999 | |
323 | ||
324 | * The return codes for gzread, gzreadline and gzwrite were | |
325 | documented incorrectly as returning a status code. | |
326 | ||
327 | * The test harness was missing a "gzclose". This caused problem | |
328 | showed up on an amiga. Thanks to Erik van Roode for reporting | |
329 | this one. | |
330 | ||
331 | * Patched zlib.t for OS/2. Thanks to Ilya Zakharevich for the patch. | |
332 | ||
333 | 1.01 - 23 Nov 1997 | |
334 | ||
335 | * A number of fixes to the test suite and the example scripts to | |
336 | allow them to work under win32. All courtesy of Gurusamy | |
337 | Sarathy. | |
338 | ||
339 | 1.00 - 14 Nov 1997 | |
340 | ||
341 | * Fixed crc32 & adler32. They were very broken. | |
342 | ||
343 | * The following functions can now take a scalar reference in | |
344 | place of a scalar for their buffer parameters: | |
345 | ||
346 | compress | |
347 | uncompress | |
348 | deflate | |
349 | inflate | |
350 | crc32 | |
351 | adler32 | |
352 | ||
353 | This should mean applications that make use of the module don't | |
354 | have to copy large buffers around. | |
355 | ||
356 | ||
357 | * Normally the inflate method consumes I<all> of the input buffer | |
358 | before returning. The exception to this is when inflate detects | |
359 | the end of the stream (Z_STREAM_END). In this case the input | |
360 | buffer need not be completely consumed. To allow processing of | |
361 | file formats that embed a deflation stream (e.g. zip, gzip), | |
362 | the inflate method now sets the buffer parameter to be what | |
363 | remains after inflation. | |
364 | ||
365 | When the return status is Z_STREAM_END, it will be what remains | |
366 | of the buffer (if any) after deflation. When the status is Z_OK | |
367 | it will be an empty string. | |
368 | ||
369 | This change means that the buffer parameter must be a lvalue. | |
370 | ||
371 | * Fixed crc32 and adler32. They were both very broken. | |
372 | ||
373 | * Added the Compress::Zlib::memGzip function. | |
374 | ||
375 | 0.5 - Confirmed that no changes were necessary for zlib 1.0.3, or 1.0.4. | |
376 | ||
377 | The optional parameters for deflateInit and inflateInit can now | |
378 | be specified as an associative array in addition to a reference | |
379 | to an associative array. They can also accept the -Name | |
380 | syntax. | |
381 | ||
382 | gzopen can now optionally take a reference to an open | |
383 | filehandle in place of a filename. In this case it will call | |
384 | gzdopen. | |
385 | ||
386 | Added gzstream example script. | |
387 | ||
388 | 0.4 - Upgrade to support zlib 0.99 | |
389 | ||
390 | Added dictionary interface. | |
391 | ||
392 | Fixed bug in gzreadline - previously it would keep returning | |
393 | the same buffer. This bug was reported by Helmut Jarausch | |
394 | ||
395 | Removed dependency to zutil.h and so dropped support for | |
396 | ||
397 | DEF_MEM_LEVEL (use MAX_MEM_LEVEL instead) | |
398 | DEF_WBITS (use MAX_WBITS instead) | |
399 | ||
400 | 0.3 - Added prototype specification. | |
401 | ||
402 | 0.2 - Fixed a minor allocation problem in Zlib.xs | |
403 | ||
404 | 0.1 - first alpha release. 2nd October 1995 |
