Revision history for Path-Tiny
0.119 2021-10-20 18:15:24-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Changes]
- The `tempdir` and `tempfile` methods may be called on a Path::Tiny object
representing a directory, in which case the directory will be used as the
container for the temporary object (as if the `DIR` argument were used).
0.118 2021-02-04 19:09:58-05:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.117-TRIAL.
0.117 2021-01-31 21:22:29-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Tests]
- Skip symlink tests on Windows by actually testing symlinks, as Perl
5.33.5 adds notional support but it's not possible without elevated
privileges.
0.116 2021-01-22 10:32:22-05:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.115-TRIAL.
0.115 2021-01-19 12:01:33-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Tests]
- Fixes tests on MSYS without symlinks enabled.
0.114 2020-04-26 10:10:29-04:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.113-TRIAL.
0.113 2020-04-14 16:06:58-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Fixes]
- Uses \z instead of $ in regular expressions
0.112 2020-01-28 22:12:16-05:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.111-TRIAL.
0.111 2020-01-23 10:54:48-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
- Another test fix on Windows, possibly due to a behavior change in
Cwd::getdcwd.
0.110 2020-01-13 13:11:38-05:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.109-TRIAL.
0.109 2020-01-02 12:24:25-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
- Fixes tests on Windows, particularly with newer File::Spec.
0.108 2018-07-30 15:35:23-04:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.107-TRIAL.
0.107 2018-07-24 15:10:36-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Fixes]
- Fixed a bug where failure to load optional modules would trigger
an external $SIG{__DIE__} handler.
0.106 2018-07-14 09:37:00-04:00 America/New_York
[Tests]
- Protected t/locking.t from PERL_PATH_TINY_NO_FLOCK already
in the environment.
0.105 2018-07-07 10:09:04-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Additions]
- The PERL_PATH_TINY_NO_FLOCK environment variable has been added to
allow users to disable file locking (and any associated warnings).
[Changes]
- Detection of unsupported 'flock' is no longer BSD-specific. This
allows detecting and warning, for example, with the Luster filesystem
on Linux.
[Tests]
- Improve reliability and diagnostics of tests run via 'do'.
0.104 2017-02-17 07:17:00-05:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.103-TRIAL.
0.103 2017-02-10 17:25:06-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Bug fixes]
- Path::Tiny 0.101 on Windows made `$path->absolute("/foo")` return an
absolute path starting with 'C:/foo', which was an unintentional
behavior change. This release now uses any absolute base without
further normalization.
0.101 2017-02-05 09:56:46-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Changes]
- The 'absolute' method now always returns an absolute path, even if a
user provided a relative path for the base path. The old, odd
behavior was documented, but people often don't read docs. The new
behavior avoids suprises.
[Additions]
- Added 'cached_temp' method.
0.100 2017-01-14 22:47:55-05:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.099-TRIAL.
0.099 2017-01-10 15:12:13-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Tests]
- Fixed tests for eventual removal of '.' from `@INC` in Perl.
[Documentation]
- Fixed filehandle mode typo.
- Fixed typo in relative() that mentioned rel2abs instead of abs2rel.
0.098 2016-10-09 23:25:11-04:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.097-TRIAL.
0.097 2016-09-30 22:03:10-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Additions]
- Added 'realpath' option for 'tempfile' and 'tempdir' for situations
where an absolute temporary path just isn't enough.
0.096 2016-07-02 21:25:33-04:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.095
0.095 2016-06-28 12:05:03-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Tests]
- Improved method for hiding some modules during tests.
0.094 2016-05-23 12:45:19-04:00 America/New_York
- Fixed Changes note typo in 0.092. 0.092 had no changes since 0.091,
not 0.090, meaning that all 0.091 changes were (and are) included.
0.092 2016-05-23 11:36:54-04:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.091
0.091 2016-05-17 13:32:21-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Changes]
- Path::Tiny will prefer PerlIO::utf8_strict over encoding(UTF-8)
if available and Unicode::UTF8 is not installed.
[Fixes]
- The 'touch' method can now set the current time on files that aren't
owned, as long as they are writeable.
[Tests]
- Improved consistency of symlink support inspection; now always
looks at $Config{d_symlink}.
- Skips impossible test on 'msys' platform.
0.090 2016-05-02 07:08:58-04:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.089
0.089 2016-04-26 22:21:00-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Fixes]
- Fix spew_utf8 to allow array references as input.
0.088 2016-04-15 08:41:07-04:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.087
0.087 2016-04-12 12:13:14-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Fixes]
- Fixed bugs in relative symlink resolution for realpath, spew and
edit_lines.
[Changes]
- Symlink resolution will detect circular loops and throw an error.
0.086 2016-04-03 13:49:37-04:00 America/New_York
[Documented]
- Improved documentation of copy and move.
0.084 2016-03-04 07:17:49-05:00 America/New_York
[Fixes]
- Fixed relative() for the case with regex metacharacters in the path
0.082 2016-03-01 18:23:26-05:00 America/New_York
[!!! INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES !!!]
- (This warning repeated from 0.079-TRIAL) The relative() method no
longer uses File::Spec's buggy abs2rel method. The new Path::Tiny
algorithm should be comparable and passes File::Spec abs2rel test
cases, except that it correctly accounts for symlinks. For common
use, you are not likely to notice any difference. For uncommon use,
this should be an improvement. As a side benefit, this change drops
the minimum File::Spec version required, allowing Path::Tiny to be
fatpacked if desired.
[Changes]
- no other changes from 0.081
0.081 2016-02-18 16:55:37-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Fixed]
- Fixed lines_utf8+chomp and relative() bugs on Windows
0.079 2016-02-15 20:52:10-07:00 America/Mazatlan (TRIAL RELEASE)
[!!! INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES !!!]
- The relative() method no longer uses File::Spec's buggy rel2bs
method. The new Path::Tiny algorithm should be comparable and passes
File::Spec abs2rel test cases, except that it correctly accounts for
symlinks. For common use, you are not likely to notice any
difference. For uncommon use, this should be an improvement. As a
side benefit, this change drops the minimum File::Spec version
required, allowing Path::Tiny to be fatpacked if desired.
[FIXED]
- Fixed lines_utf8() with chomping for repeated empty lines.
[DOCS]
- Documented that subclassing is not supported
0.077 2016-02-10 14:17:32-07:00 America/Mazatlan (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ADDED]
- Added 'edit' and 'edit_lines' plus _utf8 and _raw variants; this
is similar to perl's -i flag (though without backups)
0.076 2015-11-16 10:47:24-05:00 America/New_York
- no changes from 0.075
0.075 2015-11-15 21:02:18-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[FIXED]
- Tilde expansion on Windows was resulting in backslashes. Now they
are correctly normalized to forward slashes.
[DOCS]
- Typos fixed
0.073 2015-10-30 10:36:18-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[FIXED]
- Fixed spewing to a symlink that crosses a filesystem boundary
[PREREQS]
- Add Test::MockRandom to META as an recommended test prerequisite.
0.072 2015-07-20 16:07:20-04:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.071
0.071 2015-07-17 13:40:08-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[FIXED]
- Fixed incorrect error argument for File::Path functions
(mkpath and remove_tree)
0.070 2015-06-28 13:50:16-04:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.069
0.069 2015-06-18 18:09:44-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[CHANGED]
- The 'copy' method now returns the object for the copied file
[FIXED]
- The 'visit' method only dereferences the callback return value
for scalar refs, avoiding some common bugs
0.068 2015-03-23 20:42:56-04:00 America/New_York
[META]
- Jumping to 0.068 to get to an even-version for a stable release
[DOCUMENTED]
- Noted that 0.66 changed the 'filehandle' method
0.066 2015-03-20 23:59:08-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ADDED]
- Added exclusive locking option to filehandle opens; spew now
exclusively locks tempfile used for atomic writes
0.065 2015-03-06 05:59:56-05:00 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- Added 'assert' method
- Added 'visit' method
- Added support for a negative count for 'lines' to get the
last lines of a file
[FIXED]
- Fixed tilde expansion if path has spaces
- Make realpath non-fatal if the parent path exists and only the final
path component does not. (Was fatal on Windows and some Unixes.)
- Removed rendundant locking on tempfile use for spewing
- Work around File::Temp bugs on older ActiveState Windows Perls
https://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=104767
[DOCUMENTED]
- Fixed SYNOPSIS example
0.064 2015-03-05 03:58:42-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
0.063 2015-03-04 16:00:17-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
0.062 2015-03-04 13:59:31-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
0.061 2014-11-13 16:50:05-05:00 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed append_utf8 and append_raw with 'truncate' option.
0.060 2014-11-04 17:33:39-05:00 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- Added 'truncate' option to append for in-place replacement of
file contents.
0.059 2014-10-14 12:45:46-04:00 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed precedence bug in the check for Unicode::UTF8
0.058 2014-09-23 11:00:24-04:00 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- Added a 'sibling' method as a more efficient form of
calling $path->parent->child(...).
[DOCUMENTED]
- Every method annotated with the version number of the
last API change.
0.057 2014-09-19 11:23:05-04:00 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- On AIX, reads that default to locking would fail without
write permissions, because locking needs write permissions.
The fix is only to lock reads if write permissions exist;
otherwise locking is skipped.
0.056 2014-08-07 15:08:41-04:00 America/New_York
[*** DEPRECATIONS ***]
- The 'dirname' method is deprecated due to exposing File::Spec
inconsistencies
[ADDED]
- The 'digest' method now takes a 'chunk_size' option to avoid
slurping files entirely into memory.
[FIXED]
- Fixed problem throwing errors from 'remove'
0.055 2014-06-30 10:29:28-04:00 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- tempfile/tempdir won't warn if used as functions without arguments
0.054 2014-05-04 13:56:11-04:00 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- The 'basename' method now takes a list of suffixes to remove before
returning the name
- FREEZE/THAW/TO_JSON serialization helpers
[CHANGED]
- When constructing a Path::Tiny object from another, the original
is returned unless it's a temp dir/file. This significantly
speeds up calling path($path) if $path is already a Path::Tiny
object. (Thanks to Michael Schwern for prompting such benchmarking.)
[FIXED]
- Constructing any path -- e.g. with child() -- with undef or
zero-length parts throws an error instead of constructing an
invalid path
0.053 2014-03-24 09:25:51-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
- The 'is_file' method now does -e && ! -d and not -f because -f
is often more restrictive than people intend or expect.
[ADDED]
- Added 'chmod' method with symbolic chmod support ("a=r,u+rx")
0.052 2014-01-14 15:58:03-05:00 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Backslash-to-slash conversion now only happens on Windows
(since backslash is legal on Unix, we must allow it)
0.051 2013-12-20 07:34:14 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed file order bug in the new test file
0.050 2013-12-20 07:27:20 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Recursive iteration won't throw an exception if a directory is
removed or unreadable during iteration.
0.049 2013-12-12 00:48:01 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Generates filename for atomic writes independent of thread-ID.
Fixes crashing bug on Win32 when fork() is called.
0.048 2013-12-11 21:56:23 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- Added 'subsumes' method
[CHANGED]
- The 'chomp' option for 'lines' will remove any end-of-line sequences
fully instead of just chomping the last character
- The 'flock' package will no longer indexed by PAUSE
[FIXED]
- Hides warnings and fixes possible fatal errors from pure-perl Cwd,
particularly on MSWin32
0.047 2013-11-26 15:11:13 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Previous lock testing fixes broke on Windows (sigh); now fixed,
I hope.
0.046 2013-11-22 17:07:24 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Revised locking tests for portability again: locks are now tested
from a separate process
0.045 2013-11-22 15:28:50 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed locking test on AIX
0.044 2013-10-17 17:00:41 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed child path construction against the root path.
- Fixed path construction when a relative volume is provided as the
first argument on Windows; e.g. path("C:", "lib") must be like
path("C:lib"), not path("C:/lib").
- On AIX, shared locking is replaced by exclusive locking on a R/W
filehandle, as locking read handles is not supported
0.043 2013-10-14 06:24:06 America/New_York
[CHANGED]
- Calling 'absolute' on Windows will add the volume if it is missing
(E.g. "/foo" will become "C:/foo"). This matches the behavior
of File::Spec->rel2abs.
[FIXED]
- Fixed t/00-report-prereqs.t for use with older versions of
CPAN::Meta::Requirements
0.042 2013-10-13 11:02:02 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- When 'realpath' can't be resolved (because intermediate directories
don't exist), the exception now explains the error clearly instead of
complaining about path() needing a defined, positive-length argument.
- On Windows, fixed resolution of relative paths with a volume.
E.g. "C:foo" is now correctly translated into getdcwd on "C:"
plus "foo".
0.041 2013-10-11 08:56:31 America/New_York
[FIXES]
- Removes duplicate test dependency on File::Spec that triggers
a CPAN.pm bug
0.040 2013-10-08 22:01:50 America/New_York
[FIXES]
- Fixed broken locking test on *bsd
- When using 'filehandle' to request a locked handle that truncates an
existing file and has a binmode starting with ":unix", this fixes a
bug where pseudo-layers weren't being cleared properly.
0.039 2013-10-08 16:39:23 America/New_York
[ADDITIONS]
- The 'filehandle' method now offers an option to return locked handles
based on the file mode. Input-output methods now rely on this
feature internally. Truncating file modes defer truncation until
after an exclusive lock is acquired.
[FIXES]
- The 'filehandle' method now respects default encoding set by
the caller's open pragma.
0.038 2013-10-01 18:20:05 America/New_York
[ADDITIONS]
- Added 'is_rootdir' method to simplify testing if a path is
the root directory
0.037 2013-09-25 13:00:25 America/New_York
[FIXES]
- Fixed for v5.8
0.036 2013-09-25 09:34:28 America/New_York
[PREREQS]
- No longer lists 'threads' as a prerequisite. If you have a threaded
perl, you have it and if you're not, Path::Tiny doesn't care.
0.035 2013-09-24 07:21:55 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed flock warning on BSD that was broken with the autodie
removal; now also applies to all BSD flavors
0.034 2013-09-23 16:16:36 America/New_York
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE]
- Exceptions are now Path::Tiny::Error objects, not autodie exceptions;
this removes the last dependency on autodie, which allows us to
support Perls as far back as v5.8.1
[FIXED]
- BSD/NFS flock fix was not backwards compatible before v5.14. This
fixes it harder.
[PREREQS]
- dropped autodie
- lowered ExtUtils::MakeMaker configure_requires version to 6.17
0.033 2013-09-12 08:54:30 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Perl on BSD may not support locking on an NFS filesystem. If this is
detected, Path::Tiny warns and continues in an unsafe mode. The
'flock' warning category may be fatalized to die instead.
[DOCUMENTED]
- Added 'iterator' example showing defaults
0.032 2013-09-06 17:52:48 America/New_York
[PREREQS]
- Removed several test dependencies. Path::Tiny now only needs
core modules, though some must be upgraded on old Perls
0.031 2013-08-27 10:03:57 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- parent() on paths with internal double dots (e.g. /foo..bar.txt) now works
correctly
0.030 2013-08-20 16:10:04 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- t/zzz-spec.t used getcwd() instead of getdcwd(), which breaks
on Windows if the build directory isn't on the 'C' drive
0.029 2013-08-19 11:52:24 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- On Win32, "C:/" no longer is changed to "C:". Also, "C:" is
converted to the absolute path of cwd on the "C:" volume. UNC paths
("//server/share/") now retain their trailing slash to correctly
distinguish volume and directory paths when split
0.028 2013-08-14 13:12:49 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- The 'children()' method now takes an optional regular expression to
filter the results
0.027 2013-07-25 19:38:44 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- Added the 'digest' method to produce a hexadecimal SHA-256
(or user-specified) digest of a file
0.026 2013-07-14 21:25:22 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed bug where lines() with a count longer than the
file would return undef for the extra lines. Now returns
only the lines in the file if the count is greater than
the number of lines.
0.025 2013-07-10 09:32:13 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Spew to an existing symlink now atomically replaces
the resolved destination, not the symlink
0.024 2013-06-17 18:12:36 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Win32 pseudo-forks don't load threads.pm, so we do that
in CLONE to ensure we get the thread ID
0.023 2013-06-12 07:18:31 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Removing dangling symlinks now works
0.022 2013-05-28 11:57:15 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- The 'touch' method can now take an epoch secs argument
0.021 2013-05-17 22:53:18 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed fatal bug with lines_utf8 using chomp
[DOCS]
- Pod typos fixed
0.020 2013-04-13 06:58:11 Europe/London
[FIXED]
- More descriptive error message if copy() fails
0.019 2013-04-12 06:58:18 Europe/London
[FIXED]
- Fixed warning about -l on dirhandle in iterator()
0.018 2013-04-08 12:44:31 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- cwd, rootdir, tempfile and tempdir can now be exported on request
and used as functions instead of as methods
[FIXED]
- Fixed regression in lines() where it no longer returned count
of lines in scalar context
0.017 2013-03-28 16:49:15 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- path() constructor now glob-expands tildes (~)
[CHANGED]
- Improved options validation; invalid options now throw errors
0.016 2013-03-26 14:59:36 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- The iterator now has an optional recursive mode
[CHANGED]
- We no longer use autodie directly, but we throw our
own autodie::exceptions on error. This avoids the overhead
of wrapping built-ins with function calls.
- Most dependencies are now loaded on demand, reducing startup
time.
0.015 2013-03-13 13:20:38 America/New_York
[CHANGED]
- touch and touchpath now return the object to allow easy chaining
with spew
0.014 2013-03-09 08:54:26 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- parent now takes an optional argument to look upwards multiple
times in one call. e.g. $path->parent(2)
0.013 2013-02-22 10:58:05 America/New_York
[CHANGED]
- remove_tree now defaults to safe mode and will not attempt to chmod
and remove directories with insufficient permissions
- Temporary files and directories are always created with an
absolute path.
[FIXED]
- Failures from autodie are reported from our caller's location
(as if we called croak()); bumped autodie prereq to 2.14 for
this feature
- Failures from mkpath and remove_tree are now trapped and
thrown as exceptions. (Making an existing path or removing
a non-existant path return false and are not errors);
0.012 2013-02-20 09:34:50 America/New_York
[REMOVED]
- The 'remove' function no longer works on directories. The new
'remove_tree' method should be used instead.
[CHANGED]
- path() now requires a defined, positive-length argument to keep you
