SRZ / Archive-Tar-0.22 / ChangeLog 
2000-04-27  Stephen Zander  <srz@localhost>

	* MANIFEST: Added the ChangeLog.

	* test.pl: Extended the test suite to test the handling of
	non-file entries in the archive.

	* Tar.pm: Fixed another bug in the handling of size values for
	non-file entries.

2000-04-26  Stephen Zander  <gibreel@pobox.com>

	* Tar.pm: Fixed a bug in archive extraction that would result in
	absolutely pathed files being created under the user's home
	directory.  

	Changed the behaviour of ->extract to extract the entire archive
	if no files are given.

	Added a ->set_error method to allow sub-classes to provide a
	custom error message.
	
	Thanks to David Boyce <dsb@world.std.com> for all of these.
	
	* ptar: Changed the directory search order to top-down rather than
	bottom up.

	* Tar.pm: Fixed a bug in the archive scanning which caused
	non-file entries to skip ahead blocks.  Thanks to David Boyce
	<dsb@world.std.com> for the test case.

	* ptar: Fixed missing variable declarations.
	

2000-04-12  Stephen Zander  <gibreel@pobox.com>

	* Tar.pm: Work around fix for the problem with Compress::Zlib
	closing file descriptors early.

1999-03-03  Stephen Zander  <gibreel@pobox.com>

	* Tar.pm: make_special_file_* now works (it was completely
 	broken).  Thanks to Gurusamy Sarathy <gsar@activestate.com> for
 	the patch.
	* Tar.pm: refixed MacOS support for writing file on the fly.
  	Thanks to Paul J. Schinder <schinder@leprss.gsfc.nasa.gov> for the
 	patch

 	4096 to erroneously return failure.

1999-01-11  Stephen Zander  <gibreel@pobox.com>

	* Tar.pm: Fixed failure in ->write when Compress:Zlib not
 	installed.  _io::gzclose was returning the wrong value.

	* README: Updated README to reflect changes in versio 0.20.

	* Tar.pm: Improved documentation and presentation.  Documented the

	* test.pl: Extended tests to include sub-classing.

 	file descriptor.

 	perl5.005

	* MANIFEST: Fixed line termination of last line in file
