We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C + function is defined on their platform when their perl is old. + Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by + several parties] + + - Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker + doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib + file. [Jerry Hedden] + + - Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had + read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry] + +3.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005 + + - Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root + directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac] + + - Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during + testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments + and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end. + + - Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually + pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not + to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`. + +3.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005 + + - Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root + directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin] + + - Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd + module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden] + + - Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of + abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people + grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway. + + - Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd + (the version already installed on the user's machine) would get + loaded instead of the one we're building & installing. + + - Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't + require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois] + + - Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay] + + - Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on + older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root] + + - Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there + won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of + disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke] + + - Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a + syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern] + + - The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were + lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're + restored now. [Craig A. Berry] + + - File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat' + down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'. + This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax + parser. [Craig A. Berry] + + - In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple + -> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in + the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed + with the rest of the stuff. + + - Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with + older perls like 5.005. + + - abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted + by Neil MacMullen] + + - Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm + file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski] + +3.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004 + + - Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from + the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL. + + - Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't + even begin to work. [Reported by many] + +3.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004 + + - Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution. + This was done because the two modules use each other fairly + extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another + distribution was deemed nigh-impossible.
