7 Backout changes made in 2.014
12 Updated to check for indirect dependencies.
20 * IO::Uncompress::Unzip
21 - Print an error message if the zip file contains a
22 member compressed with bzip2 and IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 is
24 - Could not cope with mixed compression zip files. For example a
25 zip file that contains both STORED and DEFLATED content.
30 * Fixed problem that meant Perl 5.10 could not upgrade this module.
37 - Added exUnix2 option to allow storing of UID & GID.
38 - When running on a Unix derivative the ExtAttr option now defaults
39 to the equivalent of 0666. For all other systems the default
44 * Minor documentation changes in README
46 * t/compress/truncate.pl
49 * IO::Compress::Gzip::Constants.pm
50 Tidied up the character classes used to defined invalid
51 FNAME & FCOMMENT fields for EBCDIC.
53 2.006 1 September 2007
56 Added INSTALLDIRS directive to install as a core module when built
59 * IO::Uncompress::RawDeflate
61 - Fixed export problem - "$RawDeflateError" and "rawdeflate" were
62 not being exported with ":all".
66 * IO::Compress::Gzip & IO::Uncompress::Gunzip
68 - RFC1952 says that the FNAME & FCOMMENT header fields must be ISO
69 8859-1 (LATIN-1) characters. The code can optionally police this.
70 Added a fix for this logic when running on EBCDIC.
74 - Check if IO::Compress::Bzip2 is already installed. If it is, add
75 to the PREREQ_PM list.
81 - Added Zip64 documentation.
83 - Fixed extended timestamp.
84 Creation time isn't available in Unix so only store the
85 modification time and the last access time in the extended field.
89 - Added ExtAttr option to control the value of the "external file
90 attributes" field in the central directory.
92 - Added Unix2 extended attribute ("Ux").
93 This stores the UID & GID.
97 - Fixed 050interop-gzip.t for Windows
101 * Added explicit version checking
103 2.002 29 December 2006
105 * Documentation updates.
107 2.001 1 November 2006
109 * Remove beta status.
111 2.000_14 26 October 2006
113 * IO::Uncompress::Deflate
114 Beefed up the magic signature check. Means less false positives
115 when auto-detecting the compression type.
117 * IO::Uncompress::UnZip
118 Tighten up the zip64 extra field processing to cope with the case
119 wheere only some of the local header fields are superceeded.
121 * IO::Uncompress::AnyInflate
122 Remove raw-deflate (RFC 1951) from the default list of compressors
124 It can still be included if the new RawInflate parameter is
126 This change was made because the only way to tell if content is
127 raw-deflate is to attempt to uncompress it - a few false positives
128 have popped up recently, which suggests that auto-detecting raw
129 deflate is far from perfect.
130 The equivalent change has been made to IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress.
133 2.000_13 20 June 2006
135 * Preliminary support for reading zip files with zip64 members.
139 * Moved the code for creating and parsing the gzip extra field into
140 IO::Compress::Zlib::Extra.pm so that IO::Compress::Zip &
141 IO::Uncompress::Unzip can use it as well.
143 * Added ExtraFieldLocal & ExtraFieldCentral options to IO::Compress::Zip.
144 These allow the creation of user-defined extra fields in the local
145 and central headers, just like the ExtraField option in
148 * Moved the zip constants into IO::Compress::Zip::Constants
150 * Added exTime option to IO::Compress::Zip.
151 This allows creation of the extended timestamp extra field.
153 * Added Minimal option to IO::Compress::Zip.
154 This disables the creation of all extended fields.
156 * Added TextFlag option to IO::Compress::Zip.
158 * Documented Comment and ZipComment options in IO::Compress::Zip.
160 2.000_11 10 April 2006
162 * Updated Documentation for zip modules.
164 * Changed IO::Compress::Zip 'Store' option to 'Method' and added
165 symbolic constants ZIP_CM_STORE, ZIP_CM_DEFLATE and ZIP_CM_BZIP2 to
166 allow the compression method to be picked by the user.
168 * Added support to allow bzip2 compressed data to be written/read
169 with IO::Compress::Zip and IO::Uncompress::Unzip.
171 * Beefed up 050interop-gzip.t to check that the external gzip command
172 works as expected before starting the tests. This means that
173 this test harness will just be skipped on problematic systems.
175 * Merged core patch 27565 from Steve Peters. This works around a
176 problem with gzip on OpenBSD where it doesn't seem to like
177 compressing files < 10 bytes long.
179 2.000_10 13 March 2006
181 * Documentation updates.
183 2.000_09 3 March 2006
187 2.000_08 2 March 2006
189 * Split IO::Compress::Zlib into its own distribution.
191 * Beefed up support for zip/unzip
