Changes for version 1.14 - 2005-03-14

  • Allow ->stdout() and ->stderr() to specify any EXPR which is valid to open(), e.g. ->stdout(">>/tmp/foo");
  • Show redirections in verbosity output.
  • Previously, when std{in,out,err} were turned off, this was done by closing the handle. Now, the handle is connected to the null device (/dev/null or NUL) instead because closing these standard descriptors can raise complications.
  • Various other cleanups vis-a-vis the -std*() redirection methods.
  • Improve ->inpathnorm() reliability.
  • Fix to autoquoting: on windows globbing is not handled by the shell so we let '*' go by.
