Changes for version 3.19 - 2006-07-11
- When abs2rel() is called with two relative paths (e.g. abs2rel('foo/bar/baz', 'foo/bar')) the resolution algorithm needlessly called cwd() (twice!) to turn both arguments into absolute paths. Now it avoids the cwd() calls with a workaround, making a big efficiency win when abs2rel() is called repeatedly. [Brendan O'Dea]
- Added a build-time dependency on ExtUtils::Install version 1.39 when on Windows. This is necessary because version 1.39 knows how to replace an in-use Cwd shared library, but previous versions don't. [Suggested by Adam Kennedy]
- Fixed File::Spec::Win32->canonpath('foo/../bar'), which was returning \bar, and now properly returns just bar. [Spotted by Heinrich Tegethoff]
