Revision history for Perl extension File::Tail.
0.01 Fri Nov 28 09:44:06 1997
- original version; created by h2xs 1.18
0.5 Fri Nov 28 12:25:13 MET 1997
- original version; created by matija.grabnar@arnes.si
0.6 Thu Dec 4 14:16:59 MET 1997
- assigning error values to $! didn't work. Replaced with croaks.
- passing only the filename didn't work.
0.7 Mon Jun 1 17:23:23 MET 1998
- implemented tied interface
- implemented non-blocking read (against my better judgement)
- implemented more flexible error handling a-la Net::Telnet
- implemented ignore_nonexistat
Release of 0.7 was delayed because I wanted to see if Tied
Handle handling will include select in 5.005. After two people
sent me their tied interfaces, I figured maybe it was time to
release it before implementing select :-)
0.8 Wed Oct 14 19:29:30 MET DST 1998
implemented wantarray handling in READLINE
implemented some tests for make test
documented the tied interface in synopsis (Duh!)
- implemented tail -n functionality
0.81 Thu Oct 15 07:54:36 MET DST 1998
There was a bug in tail -n part, and the tail -n tests were missing
from the distribution
0.85 Wed Oct 28 15:44:47 MET 1998
The introduction of tail -n broke the handling of files where
a line might be written incompletely (e.g. without the final \n). OOps!
0.90 Tue Nov 10 11:02:35 MET 1998
fix for reset_tail (it couldn't be set to 0) from
Chris_Heller/PeopleSoft@peoplesoft.com
fixed some -> references which complained in Perl5.4 but not in 5.5
moved debugging statement to a separate routine, logit
logit now outputs the name of the calling routine and the name of the
file the object refers to.
select functionality added.
0.91 Tue Feb 2 17:14:27 MET 1999
another ambigous reference (fixed thanks to Peter Wirdemo <edtpewo@ratatosk.aom.ericsson.se>)
nasty select bug discovered by "Weeber, Steve" <steve.weeber@qwest.net>
select can now also be called as File::Tail::select, as long as there
is at least one tail object given.
