7 Backout changes made in 2.014
12 Updated to check for indirect dependencies.
17 - Allow IO::Compress::Base::Parameters::parse to accept an IO::Compress::Base::Parameters object.
22 - Silenced an uninitialised value warning when reading a line
23 at a time from a zip file where the content uses ZIP_CM_STORE.
24 [Problem spotted & fixed by Jeff Holt]
26 * IO::Compress::Base & IO::Uncompress::Base
27 - local-ise $!, $? et al in the DESTROY methods.
32 - Fixed problem that prevented the creation of a zip file that
33 contained more than one compression method.
35 * IO::Compress::Base::Common
36 - The private Validator class in this module clashes with another
37 CPAN module. Moved Validator into the IO::Compress::Base::Common
43 * Fixed problem that meant Perl 5.10 could not upgrade this module.
48 * Removed the alpha status from File::GlobMapper
51 When writing output never output a zero length buffer.
52 Done to improve interoperability with other tied filenandle
55 * Changed IO::Uncompress::Base to not use the offset parameter of
56 the read method when reading from a filehandle.
58 The object returned from Net::FTP::retr implements a non-standard
59 read method. The third parameter is used for a timeout value
60 rather than an offset.
63 * Changed IO::Uncompress::Base to not use the eof method when
64 reading from a filehandle.
66 The object returned from Net::FTP::retr implements both the read
67 method and the eof method. Unfortunately the implementation of
68 the read method uses non-buffered IO (by using sysread) while
69 the eof method uses buffered IO. Mixing buffered and non-buffered
70 IO results in data corruption.
74 * Minor documentation changes in README
76 2.006 1 September 20007
79 Added INSTALLDIRS directive to install as a core module when built
84 * Stephen Turner reported a problem when using IO::Uncompress::Gunzip
85 with XML::Parser. Turns out there were two issues.
87 Firstly an IO::Uncompress object isn't an IO::Handle. It is now.
89 Secondly the implementation of "read" wasn't honouring this
91 SCALAR will be grown or shrunk to the length actually read.
93 In particular it didn't do the right thing on EOF.
98 * Made seek less wasteful of memory.
102 * Added explicit version checking
104 2.002 29 December 2006
106 * Documentation updates.
108 * Added IO::Handle to the ISA test in isaFilehandle
110 * Add an explicit use_ok test for Scalar::Util in the test harness.
111 The error message reported by 01misc implied the problem was
113 Also explictly check that 'dualvar' is available.
115 2.001 1 November 2006
117 * Remove beta status.
119 2.000_14 26 October 2006
121 * IO::Uncompress::Base
122 Added support for $/ in record mode
124 * IO::Uncompress::Base
125 The readline interface was substantially slower than the 1.x
126 equivalent. This has now been sorted.
127 Thanks to Andreas J. Koenig for spotting the problem.
129 * IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress
130 Added IO::Uncompress::Lzf to the list of supported uncompresors.
132 * IO::Uncompress::Base
133 Added TrailingData to one-shot interface.
135 * IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress
136 Remove raw-deflate (RFC1951) from the default list of compressors
138 It can still be included if the new RawInflate parameter is
140 This change was made because the only way to tell if content is
141 raw-deflate is to attempt to uncompress it - a few false positives
142 have popped up recently, which suggests that auto-detecting raw
143 deflate is far from perfect.
144 The equivalent change has been made to IO::Uncompress::AnyInflate.
147 * Don't check that filehandles are writable. It would seem that
148 "-w *STDOUT" on windows returns false.
151 2.000_13 20 June 2006
153 * Store compress & uncompressed sizes as 64-bit.
155 * For one-shot uncompression, like this
157 unzip "some.zip" => \@a, MultiStream => 1;
159 Push each uncompressed stream from "some.zip" onto @a.
161 * Added IO::Compress::Base::FilterEnvelope
163 * Added IO::Uncompress::Base::nextStream
165 * The '-' filehandle now maps to either *STDIN or *STDOUT.
166 This keeps mod_perl happier. Was using these before
173 2.000_11 10 April 2006
175 * Transparent + InputLength made more robust where input data is not
178 2.000_10 13 March 2006
180 * AnyUncompress doesn't assume that IO-Compress-Zlib is installed any
183 2.000_09 3 March 2006
187 2.000_08 2 March 2006
189 * Split IO::Compress::Base into its own distribution.
191 * Added opened, autoflush and input_line_number.
193 * Beefed up support for $.
