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 ) nasty select bug discovered by "Weeber, Steve" select can now also be called as File::Tail::select, as long as there is at least one tail object given.
