I left the in-memory +compress routines much as is, compress and decompress. + +(re)created by h2xs 1.23 with options + -b 5.6.0 -n Compress::Bzip2 bzlib.h + +I wanted Compress::Zlib compatibility cause I have s/w that uses +Compress::Zlib and I wanted an easy migration path, since bzlib gives +about 20-30% better compression on ascii files than gzip. + +This is a 2.x release. Since there was a change in authorship, I +figured I should bump the major version number. I could have easily +given this a slightly different name. Given the minimal functionality +of version 1, that didn't seem like a useful thing to do. Heck, +version 1 doesn't even work with bzlib 1.x, you have to patch in the +BZ2_ prefixes, so my guess is that Compress::Bzip2 isn't being used +in a lot of places. + +2.01 Sat Apr 23 2005 + - cleaned up for 64bit, HPUX PA-RISC 2.0W and itanium + - fleshed out the Compress::Zlib compatibility, added a + couple of tests for it. + - added bzip2, bunzip2 and bzcat, which act like the bzip + commands. + - added some compatibility for windows, can't test it out really + - added the bzlib library underneath + - changed the test suite so that it does not rely on bzip2 + being installed. + - added a test to the Makefile.PL to determine whether or + not the internal Bzlib is necessary. + +2.02 Sat Apr 23 2005 + - 2.01 rejected by PAUSE because the META.yml was invalid + - learned how to do "make dist" + +2.03 Sun Apr 24 2005 + - didn't have config.in in the MANIFEST, the tarball was unbuildable. + - rewrote the INSTALL, README to give help on the config.in options + for locating your bzip2 installation. + +2.04 Mon Apr 25 2005 + - tested different styles of builds. confirmed some errors in the + Makefile.PL test for bzip2 that were pointed out by Sisyphus. + - Sisyphus reported some changes necessary for windows builds. I + injected those changes into the code. one of them, adding + aTHX_ to the call to PerlIO_binmode seems like a perl version + thing. + - added tests for internal_bzlib, copied from bzip2 1.0.2. + +2.05 Wed Apr 27 2005 + - cleaned up the pod so it's more presentable online. + - win32 builds - the eye of the needle. Sisyphus has been doing most of + the work. + - cater to win32 nmake - :: ok but $^ not + - cater to win32 dmake - :: bad but $^ ok + - cater to win32 - use File::Spec catfile and rel2abs all over the place + +2.06 Fri Apr 29 2005 + - build for bzip2.exe fine tuning for win32 nmake + +2.07 Sun May 1 2005 + - bzlib-src/Makefile.PL had a stupid mistake in it that shows up for + win32 nmake. I can't test that stuff out. Plus, got some new + info from Sisyphus, so tossed my scribble and put in something + known to work. + + - implemented Compress::Bzip2 1.03 compatibility layer to encompass + the post-1.00 development thread taken by Marco Carnut and David + Robins. Made an effort to include the three .t test files asis. + + - Why? Cause I found that PerlIO::via::Bzip2, by Arjen Laarhoven, + is built on the streaming interface of 1.03. From looking over + it, I gather it redirects a 1.03 compression/decompression stream + to/from a file. It doesn't do the extra bit of fiddling with the + trailers to make the resultant file usable by the bzip2 commands. + Additionally, the 1.03 decompress stream doesn't handle the pause + when an embedded EOF marker is found, which is an issue for files + larger than the buffer size (900k by default). + + So, I figured it would be easy to provide a compatibility layer + for packages that use 1.03. By using my stuff, the headers and + trailers would be automatically taken care of, as would the EOF + marker. Something like PerlIO::via::Bzip2 would then + interoperate with bzip2 commands. Sure, I think bzread and bzwrite + are better choices for file IO, but this is perl, right? There has + to be at least 10 ways to do the same thing. + +2.08 Wed May 11 2005 + - Sisyphus got the win32 nmake problem licked. merging his stuff in. + + - perldoc changes for bzip2 1.03 compatibility. + + - got ownership of the module on cpan + +2.09 Tue Aug 9 2005 + - change email addy + + - patch for test 041-error.t, thanks to Dave Evans + + - prototype error for bzwrite, limit variable was not optional, thanks + to Christian Drauch for pointing this out. + +2.10 2013-03-25 rurban + - updated bzlib-src from 1.0.2 to 1.0.6 + - [cpan #82308] make breaks on 5.17.7 by schubiger + - [cpan #21961] update ppport.h + - [cpan #25002] memBzip() ignores level + keep using default 6, but honor optional level argument + - use -std=c89 on gcc compat compilers + - fix -Wimplicit-int warning for show_bzversion main() + - fix a couple if dangling else corner cases + format string errors, and unused variables. + - [cpan #82576] fix pod formatting errors + - [cpan #48128] support memBunzip BZh header w/o extra size prefix + and grow dest buf dynamically.
