10 * IO::Uncompress::Unzip
11 - Print an error message if the zip file contains a
12 member compressed with bzip2 and IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 is
14 - Could not cope with mixed compression zip files. For example a
15 zip file that contains both STORED and DEFLATED content.
20 * Fixed problem that meant Perl 5.10 could not upgrade this module.
27 - Added exUnix2 option to allow storing of UID & GID.
28 - When running on a Unix derivative the ExtAttr option now defaults
29 to the equivalent of 0666. For all other systems the default
34 * Minor documentation changes in README
36 * t/compress/truncate.pl
39 * IO::Compress::Gzip::Constants.pm
40 Tidied up the character classes used to defined invalid
41 FNAME & FCOMMENT fields for EBCDIC.
43 2.006 1 September 2007
46 Added INSTALLDIRS directive to install as a core module when built
49 * IO::Uncompress::RawDeflate
51 - Fixed export problem - "$RawDeflateError" and "rawdeflate" were
52 not being exported with ":all".
56 * IO::Compress::Gzip & IO::Uncompress::Gunzip
58 - RFC1952 says that the FNAME & FCOMMENT header fields must be ISO
59 8859-1 (LATIN-1) characters. The code can optionally police this.
60 Added a fix for this logic when running on EBCDIC.
64 - Check if IO::Compress::Bzip2 is already installed. If it is, add
65 to the PREREQ_PM list.
71 - Added Zip64 documentation.
73 - Fixed extended timestamp.
74 Creation time isn't available in Unix so only store the
75 modification time and the last access time in the extended field.
79 - Added ExtAttr option to control the value of the "external file
80 attributes" field in the central directory.
82 - Added Unix2 extended attribute ("Ux").
83 This stores the UID & GID.
87 - Fixed 050interop-gzip.t for Windows
91 * Added explicit version checking
93 2.002 29 December 2006
95 * Documentation updates.
101 2.000_14 26 October 2006
103 * IO::Uncompress::Deflate
104 Beefed up the magic signature check. Means less false positives
105 when auto-detecting the compression type.
107 * IO::Uncompress::UnZip
108 Tighten up the zip64 extra field processing to cope with the case
109 wheere only some of the local header fields are superceeded.
111 * IO::Uncompress::AnyInflate
112 Remove raw-deflate (RFC 1951) from the default list of compressors
114 It can still be included if the new RawInflate parameter is
116 This change was made because the only way to tell if content is
117 raw-deflate is to attempt to uncompress it - a few false positives
118 have popped up recently, which suggests that auto-detecting raw
119 deflate is far from perfect.
120 The equivalent change has been made to IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress.
123 2.000_13 20 June 2006
125 * Preliminary support for reading zip files with zip64 members.
129 * Moved the code for creating and parsing the gzip extra field into
130 IO::Compress::Zlib::Extra.pm so that IO::Compress::Zip &
131 IO::Uncompress::Unzip can use it as well.
133 * Added ExtraFieldLocal & ExtraFieldCentral options to IO::Compress::Zip.
134 These allow the creation of user-defined extra fields in the local
135 and central headers, just like the ExtraField option in
138 * Moved the zip constants into IO::Compress::Zip::Constants
140 * Added exTime option to IO::Compress::Zip.
141 This allows creation of the extended timestamp extra field.
143 * Added Minimal option to IO::Compress::Zip.
144 This disables the creation of all extended fields.
146 * Added TextFlag option to IO::Compress::Zip.
148 * Documented Comment and ZipComment options in IO::Compress::Zip.
150 2.000_11 10 April 2006
152 * Updated Documentation for zip modules.
154 * Changed IO::Compress::Zip 'Store' option to 'Method' and added
155 symbolic constants ZIP_CM_STORE, ZIP_CM_DEFLATE and ZIP_CM_BZIP2 to
156 allow the compression method to be picked by the user.
158 * Added support to allow bzip2 compressed data to be written/read
159 with IO::Compress::Zip and IO::Uncompress::Unzip.
161 * Beefed up 050interop-gzip.t to check that the external gzip command
162 works as expected before starting the tests. This means that
163 this test harness will just be skipped on problematic systems.
165 * Merged core patch 27565 from Steve Peters. This works around a
166 problem with gzip on OpenBSD where it doesn't seem to like
167 compressing files < 10 bytes long.
169 2.000_10 13 March 2006
171 * Documentation updates.
173 2.000_09 3 March 2006
177 2.000_08 2 March 2006
179 * Split IO::Compress::Zlib into its own distribution.
181 * Beefed up support for zip/unzip
