Changes for version 0.25 - 2014-09-05

  • WARNING: This is a major upgrade & may not be 100% backwards compatible with existing code. Also the response() redesign may not work for all FTPS servers! It's a work in progress! So comments are welcome!
  • Upgraded the minimum version of IO-Socket-SSL required from v1.08 to v1.26 so that I could remove the warnings in the POD for ccc(). But it should still work with the earlier versions if you hack the code. But don't rely on this in future releases. (minus the ccc command)
  • Modified the Synopsis to use Croak since no one was reading my comments about using it too closely anyway.
  • Added a new pattern for uput() to check for file names with. Also fixed to guarentee it will never return any path info, just the base file name itself. [ This change may break existing programs. ]
  • Another hack to recover from a garbled CCC response. This hack just prevents unnecessary warnings.
  • Hit a weird FTP server that requiers me to flip flop the binary/ASCII settings on the server/client. See mixedModeAI() & mixedModeIA().
  • Added a way to print Perl warnings to the log file. (trapWarn) It will chain things if warnings were already trapped. Even between multiple open Net::FTPSSL object logs. This is only usefull as a debugging tool when reporting on errors via CPAN. It helps provide context to the warnings that affect this code base.
  • Added get_log_filehandle() to allow someone to gain access to the open filehandle used to write to the log file generated when Debug is turned on and you specified a log file via DebugLogFile.
  • Now allows DebugLogFile to be an open file handle (GLOB).
  • Fixed quot() to echo the command if it's one of those dissallowed. Also now strips off any leading spaces from the command before using it.
  • Found out use "sub DESTROY" rather than "sub END" for objects. (Just a FYI) Surprise, Surprise! Sometimes END is called before DESTROY is!
  • Moved some logic out of quit() into the new DESTROY() method. No longer need to hack object termination logic via quit().
  • Added END to handle final clean up for trapWarn().
  • Fixed warnings in function _feat() caused by strange server returns.
  • Fixed warnings in function _help() caused by strange server returns.
  • Fixed 20-certificate.t bug where $ENV{HOME} is not defined for all OS.
  • Fixed 10-complex.t to use the new warning logic.
  • Fixed 20-certificate.t to use the new warning logic.
  • Fixed t/10-complex.t & t/20-certificate.t to use a 30 second Timeout instead of using the default 2 minutes.
  • Reworked response() with regard to Bug # 97608. (related to Bug # 73115) Had to redesign how this method worked. It was getting too convoluted to fix any further. Was the only way to properly fix _help & _feat.
  • Second issue for Bug # 9706 was an issue with very long login messsages hit an unexpected Timeout issue (last release enhancement). Turns out the Timeout logic in response() didn't always work properly if you didn't read in the entire response via a single call to sysread(). Had two options, make the buffer huge for the login response or make the logic more complex, to only check for Timeouts on the command channel for new commands. Turns out select() & sysread() don't actually compare notes. Hense another reason to redesign how things worked.
  • This rewrite of response() broke the ccc() hack. So had to redesign how this hack worked as well. [May break existing programs using CCC!]
  • Added special case Debug=>99 for more detailed logging for debugging the new response code base in the future.
  • Added new environment variable (FTPSSL_DEBUG_LEVEL) to t/10-complex.t to enable low level debugging of the new response() code. There is no prompt to turn on this feature. Added more as a reminder that it can be done!
  • Updated the SSL_Advanced depreciated warning that it will soon be removed in a future release. It was depreciated in v0.18 way back in 2011, so I feel it's about time to have it removed. Just giving fair warning here! I'll remove it in v0.26 or v0.27.
