Revision history for Perl extension File::FastSlurp. 9999.01 Mon Sep 1 00:20:56 2003 - original version; created by h2xs 1.21 with options -AX -n File::FastSlurp 9999.02 Wed Dec 17 03:40:49 EST 2003 - skip DATA test in handle.t on OSX (bug in perl with sysread on DATA) - changed checking if file handle from fileno to ref from Randal Schwartz <merlyn@stonehenge.com> - added support for atomic spewing - added new test stdin.t for the fileno/ref change - added new test inode.t to test atomic spewing 9999.03 Mon Dec 22 01:44:43 EST 2003 - fixed DATA handle bugs in t/handle.t on osx (should be fixed on BSD as well) - added more comments to code 9999.04 Mon Feb 23 14:20:52 EST 2004 - fixed DATA handle bug in t/handle.t (not seen on most OS's) Thanks to James Willmore <jwillmore@adelphia.net> 9999.05 Tue Feb 24 21:14:55 EST 2004 - skip handle tests where socketpair is not supported (pre 5.8 on windows) Thanks to Mike Arms <marms@sandia.gov> 9999.06 Mon Sep 20 01:57:00 EDT 2004 - Slurping the DATA handle now works without the workaround. tests are in t/data_scalar.t and t/data_list.t - Paragraph mode in read_file is supported. As with <> when $/ (input record separator) is set to '', then the input file is split on multiple newlines (/\n\n+/). Thanks to Geoffrey Leach <geoff@direcway.com> 9999.07 Tue Jan 25 01:33:11 EST 2005 - Slurping in pseudo files (as in /proc) which show a size of 0 but actually have data works. This seems to be the case on linux but on Solaris those files show their proper size. Thanks to Juerd Waalboer <juerd@cpan.org> 9999.08 Sat Apr 16 01:01:27 EDT 2005 - read_dir returns an array ref in scalar context - read_dir keeps . and .. if keep_dot_dot option is set. Thanks to John Alden <john.alden@bbc.co.uk> - slurp() is an optional exported alias to read_file Thanks to Damian Conway <damian@conway.org> 9999.09 Tue Apr 19 01:21:55 EDT 2005 - t/original.t and read_dir.t no longer search for tempdirs. they just use the current dir which should be in the build directory - t/readdir.t renamed to read_dir.t for consistancy - write_file return values are docuemented Thanks to Adam Kennedy <adamk@cpan.org> - added no_clobber option to write_file and t/no_clobber.t test for it Thanks to <pagaltzis@gmx.de> - fixed bug when appending a null string to a file which then truncates it. seems to be an odd way for linux and OS X to handle O_APPEND mode on sysopen. they don't seek to the end of the file so it gets truncated. fixed by adding a seek to the end if in append mode.n Thanks to Chris Dolan <cdolan@cpan.org> 9999.10 Thu Jan 19 11:38:00 EDT 2005 - t/*.t modules don't use Fcntl.pm - using POSIX qw( :fcntl_h ) instead of Fcntl qw( :seek ) for backwards compatiblity to 5.00503 - added conditional definitions of SEEK_* and O_* subs as they are not defined in perl 5.004 - File::Slurp now runs on perl 5.004 and newer (see BUGS section) All of the above thanks to Smylers <Smylers@stripey.com>, Piers Kent <piers.kent@bbc.co.uk> and John Alden <john.alden@bbc.co.uk> - Added pod.t and pod_coverage.t tests. This is to pass all the CPANTS tests. 9999.11 Fri Jan 20 01:24:00 EDT 2005 - Quick release to remove code that forced the faked SEEK_* values to be used. Showed up when tested on OSX which doesn't need that backport. 9999.12 Thu Feb 2 02:26:31 EST 2006 - Fixed bug on windows with classic slurping and File::Slurp not agreeing on newline conversion. - Added t/newline.t test to check for that fix. - When passing text data by scalar reference to write_file under windows, the buffer is copied so the newline conversion won't modify the caller's data. - Thanks to Johan Lodin <lodin@cpan.org> for a test script which I modified into t/newline.t 9999.13 Wed Jan 23 22:54:03 CDT 2008 - This is a "get the tests passing" release by Dave Rolsky - Fixes the tests to pass with the latest Test::More - Also shuts up warnings from some tests about redefining SEEK_SET.
