Changes for 0.68 Fri Feb 15 22:57:09 2013 ============================================ * Solaris' tar doesn't like some archives on CPAN, prefer gtar if it is available Changes for 0.66 Sat Feb 9 18:21:52 2013 ============================================ * Treat midnightbsd the same as freebsd for the purposes of finding Info-ZIP unzip Chnages for 0.64 Sat Jan 26 21:07:03 2013 ============================================ * Add deprecation usage to warn if the module is loaded from corelib. Archive::Extract is leaving core with v5.20.0, but will remain available from CPAN. Changes for 0.62 Wed Jan 9 21:38:10 2013 ============================================ * OpenBSD's tar does not like some archives on CPAN, prefer gtar if it is available. * Correctly detect lack of /bin/tar (Smylers) Changes for 0.60 Mon Feb 20 22:28:10 2012 ============================================ * Work around an edge-case on Linux with Busybox's unzip Changes for 0.58 Sat Oct 22 20:25:00 2011 ============================================ * Apply patch from Craig A. Berry [rt#71846] make _untar_bin use Unix-syntax archive names on VMS Changes for 0.56 Tue Aug 23 15:55:52 2011 ============================================ * Amend the MSWin32 fixes for 'unzip' to work with Cygwin-based tools too. Changes for 0.54 Mon Aug 22 11:52:18 2011 ============================================ * Resolve issues on MSWin32 when 'unzip' is found in PATH Changes for 0.52 Thu Apr 28 20:56:27 2011 ============================================ * Only use unzip from /usr/local/bin when on FreeBSD which will be the Info-ZIP version Changes for 0.50 Tue Apr 12 19:17:23 2011 ============================================ * Resolve RT #56208 reported by Apocalypse Changes for 0.48 Fri Jan 7 20:45:37 2011 ============================================ * upstream blead patches from Peter Acklam Changes for 0.46 Tue Oct 26 23:45:52 2010 ============================================ * Correct speeling errors in docs, spotted by Avar * Only use unzip from /usr/pkg/bin when on NetBSD which will be the Info-ZIP version Changes for 0.44 Wed Sep 29 15:51:26 2010 ============================================ * Apply a patch from brian d foy that adds a debug() method for $DEBUG output. Changes for 0.42 Mon Jun 28 19:35:17 2010 ============================================ * Apply a patch from Robin Barker RT #56927 "Unnecessary chdir/INC manipulation in test" Changes for 0.40 Fri May 14 13:31:32 2010 ============================================ * Add support for TZ files, Paul Marquess provided the patches in RT #57387 * modified the lzma logic to favour IO::Uncompress::Unlzma Paul Marquess via RT #57387 Changes for 0.38 Wed Jan 6 23:48:52 2010 ============================================ * Apply a patch from Michael G Schwern RT #53246 extract() is vulnerable to print globals. Changes for 0.36 Tue Nov 24 10:27:16 2009 ============================================ * Explicitly use Cwd's chdir Changes for 0.34 Sat Jun 27 14:23:54 2009 ============================================ * Attempt to address #46948: unable to install install on win32. Binaries on Win32 are notoriously unreliable and Strawberry perl ships with all the needed perl modules, so skip failed binary tests on Win32. * Address #47053: Use Archive::Tar iter to keep from read the tar into memory. Thanks to Robert Krimen and Doug Wilson for their patches. Changes for 0.32 Fri Jun 12 13:23:11 2009 ============================================ * Some tars have extra newlines in their '-x' output, so grep for 'length' when parsing the file list, or errors like this one can crop up: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/03/msg3476639.html * Add docs that A::E is not always thread safe. See RT #45671 Changes for 0.31_03 Wed Mar 11 12:38:43 2009 ============================================ * Newer versions of 'tar' (1.21 and up) now print record size to STDERR as well if v OR t is given (used to be both). This is a 'feature' according to the changelog, so we must now only inspect STDOUT, otherwise, failures like these occur: nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/02/msg3230366.html Thanks to tcallawa from RedHat for tracking this down. Changes for 0.31_02 Tue Mar 3 17:01:26 2009 ============================================ * Address: #43278: Explicitly tell Archive::Zip where to put the files In certain edge cases, archive::zip would extract to dirname($0) instead of cwd(); Now we tell Archive::Zip explicitly where to extract to. Changes for 0.31_01 Fri Feb 6 15:39:13 2009 ============================================ * Address #40138; .tar files on Win32 would not extract properly with gnu tar (default on cygwin) under Cmd.exe/Native Win32 system calls. Gnu tar interprets file names with a : in them, like C:\tmp\foo.tar as a remote path, and attempts to execute rsh instead. Archive::Extract now checks for gnu tar on Win32 and adds the '--force-local' flag to disable this behaviour. * Improved diagnostics from the test suite * Enabled debugging in the test suite for development releases. Changes for 0.30 Tue Dec 16 17:32:13 2008 ============================================ * This is a test suite fix; users of 0.28 need not upgrade. * Archive::Extract would not reliably skip binary extraction tests when no binaries were found in $PATH, which causes test suite failures. Changes for 0.28 Fri Oct 10 15:22:51 2008 ============================================ * Address: #39554: Must set $Archive::Tar::CHOWN, not $Archive::Tar::Constant::CHOWN to control the chown() functionality when using Archive::Tar. * Various test suite improvements to test warnings and errors emitted by Archive::Extract. Changes for 0.27_02 Wed Sep 24 17:37:52 2008 ============================================ * Test & build improvements: users of 0.27_01 need not upgrade. * Test suite would die if no files were reported to be extracted, because Test::More::is() would choke on a negative array index on an empty array ref. * Up dependency of IPC::Cmd to 0.41_05 to handle pipes and whitespace better on shell out commands. Changes for 0.27_01 Mon Sep 22 14:20:20 2008 ============================================ * Address: #32751: incorrect error message Multiple error messages are now joined and will only be reset upon next ->extract() * Test suite improvement to split binary from pure perl solutions to test implementations without fallback. Changes for 0.26 Sun Jan 27 16:31:20 2008 ============================================ * Address #32370: Archive::Extract will hang if stdin is a pipe. /bin/bunzip2 tried to read STDIN when printing out it's '--version'. * Address rt #32336 by a.r.ferreira@gmail.com to add .lzma support to archive::extract * Older versions of bunzip2 insist on a .bz2 suffix to extract things. Guard against this, adapt the test suite and mention it in the caveats. Changes for 0.24 Thu Sep 20 15:05:55 2007 ============================================ * Older versions of /bin/bunzip2 only support archives with a .bz2 suffix. Attempt to detect this with a new method ->have_old_bunzip2, and skip tests accordingly. Also document this in the CAVEATS section of the docs. * Apply core change 31904: Clean up test files left behind (on Win32, at least). Changes for 0.23_01 Sun Sep 9 12:39:08 2007 ============================================ * Address Update ticket #27991 (Archive::Extract and very large tar.gz files). Add a CAVEATS entry explianing how to deal with large files & memory consumption * VMS shell out & test fixes by John Malmberg Changes for 0.22 Tue May 29 21:18:46 2007 ============================================ * Manifest didn't include one of the source files for tests. If you have 0.20 installed there is no need to upgrade. This is just a test suite fix. Changes for 0.20 Mon May 28 12:06:33 2007 ============================================ * Address #27195: Implement support for .Z files. * Small POD fixes * Disable some test diagnostics under perl core tests Changes for 0.18 Wed Apr 11 21:20:53 2007 ============================================ * Starting 5.9.5, this module installs itself in the core-perl dir, rather than site-perl, as it's now part of core. * Reverse '$PREFER_BIN' conditional for tar/tar.gz files. The current logic was actually exactly the wrong way around. * Small regex change to tar/tar.gz detection. Changes for 0.16 Fri Jan 26 11:07:24 2007 ============================================ * address #24578: Wrong check for `type' argument * add new method ->types that returns a list of all supported archive types * promote 0.15_03 to stable Changes for 0.15_03 Thu Jan 4 14:46:58 2007 ============================================ * address #23999: Attempt to generate Makefile.PL gone awry where paths starting with a '.' are sometimes reported to be extracted in '.' as well rather than their actual extraction dir. Changes for 0.15_02 Sun Nov 26 18:06:02 2006 ============================================ * fix testing logic error, that assumed extracted files were always logged when we did not prefer binaries to extract with. However, that does not mean the perl module is available, so we might not have buffers after all. * make sure we dont have test count mismatches between buffers/non-buffers Changes for 0.15_01 Fri Nov 24 15:07:44 2006 ============================================ * Apply patch from Paul Marquess to add pure perl support for bzip2 encoded files. This support requires you to have the module IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 installed. * Error storage is now per object like it should be rather than class wide. * Update tests to not skip unnecessarily * Up required version of IPC::Cmd to 0.36 for 5.6.x compatibility * Improve diagnostics in the test suite when run verbosely Changes for 0.14 Fri Oct 20 14:37:36 2006 ============================================ * Tweak tests to play nicer on win32 * Up required version of IPC::Cmd Changes for 0.12 Sun Aug 13 14:55:54 2006 ============================================ * Add diagnostics during the test suite informing the user that File::Spec warnings may be generated by Archive::Zip (see rt #19713). These are safe to ignore. Changes for 0.11_02 Thu Aug 3 14:18:16 2006 ============================================ * attempt to address #19815: make test fail under Cygwin again. Unzip giving trouble this time. Adding -o option to force overwriting of old files * address #20829: test failure on Win32: no bunzip2? bunzip2 detection wasn't working properly in the test suite so tests weren't skipped on missing bunzip2 Changes for 0.11_01 Wed Aug 2 13:04:37 2006 ============================================ * attempt to address #19815: make test fail under Cygwin by adding more sanity checks about buffers Changes for 0.11 Wed Aug 2 11:15:48 2006 ============================================ * add tentative bzip2 support
