Revision history for Perl extension Compress::Bzip2.
2.00 Wed Apr 13 16:33:35 2005
This is a complete re-write of Compress::Bzip2. 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
