* Address: #43278: Explicitly tell Archive::Zip where to put the files
  In certain edge cases, archive::zip would extract to dirname($0) instead
  of cwd(); Now we tell Archive::Zip explicitly where to extract to. 

0.31_01 Fri Feb  6 15:39:13 2009

* Address #40138; .tar files on Win32 would not extract properly with
  gnu tar (default on cygwin) under Cmd.exe/Native Win32 system calls.
  Gnu tar interprets file names with a : in them, like C:\tmp\foo.tar
  as a remote path, and attempts to execute rsh instead.
  Archive::Extract now checks for gnu tar on Win32 and adds the 
  '--force-local' flag to disable this behaviour.
* Improved diagnostics from the test suite
* Enabled debugging in the test suite for development releases.

0.30    Tue Dec 16 17:32:13 2008

* This is a test suite fix; users of 0.28 need not upgrade.
* Archive::Extract would not reliably skip binary extraction
  tests when no binaries were found in $PATH, which causes
  test suite failures.

0.28    Fri Oct 10 15:22:51 2008

* Address: #39554: Must set $Archive::Tar::CHOWN, not
  $Archive::Tar::Constant::CHOWN to control the chown()
  functionality when using Archive::Tar.
* Various test suite improvements to test warnings 
  and errors emitted by Archive::Extract.

0.27_02 Wed Sep 24 17:37:52 2008

* Test & build improvements: users of 0.27_01 need 
  not upgrade.
* Test suite would die if no files were reported 
  to be extracted, because Test::More::is() would
  choke on a negative array index on an empty array
  ref.
* Up dependency of IPC::Cmd to 0.41_05 to handle 
  pipes and whitespace better on shell out commands.  

0.27_01 Mon Sep 22 14:20:20 2008

* Address: #32751: incorrect error message
  Multiple error messages are now joined and will only be 
  reset upon next ->extract()
* Test suite improvement to split binary from pure perl 
  solutions to test implementations without fallback.

0.26    Sun Jan 27 16:31:20 2008

* Address #32370: Archive::Extract will hang if stdin 
  is a pipe. /bin/bunzip2 tried to read STDIN when printing
  out it's '--version'. 
* Address rt #32336 by a.r.ferreira@gmail.com to add .lzma 
  support to archive::extract 
* Older versions of bunzip2 insist on a .bz2 suffix to extract 
  things. Guard against this, adapt the test suite and mention 
  it in the caveats. 

0.24    Thu Sep 20 15:05:55 2007

* Older versions of /bin/bunzip2 only support archives
  with a .bz2 suffix. Attempt to detect this with a new
  method ->have_old_bunzip2, and skip tests accordingly.
  Also document this in the CAVEATS section of the docs.
* Apply core change 31904: Clean up test files left 
  behind (on Win32, at least).

0.23_01 Sun Sep  9 12:39:08 2007

* Address Update ticket #27991 (Archive::Extract and 
  very large tar.gz files). Add a CAVEATS entry explianing 
  how to deal with large files & memory consumption 
* VMS shell out & test fixes by John Malmberg

0.22    Tue May 29 21:18:46 2007

* Manifest didn't include one of the source files
  for tests. If you have 0.20 installed there is no
  need to upgrade. This is just a test suite fix.
  
0.20    Mon May 28 12:06:33 2007

* Address #27195: Implement support for .Z files.
* Small POD fixes
* Disable some test diagnostics under perl core tests

0.18    Wed Apr 11 21:20:53 2007

* Starting 5.9.5, this module installs itself in
  the core-perl dir, rather than site-perl, as it's
  now part of core.
* Reverse '$PREFER_BIN' conditional for tar/tar.gz
  files. The current logic was actually exactly the
  wrong way around.
* Small regex change to tar/tar.gz detection.  

0.16    Fri Jan 26 11:07:24 2007

* address #24578: Wrong check for `type' argument
* add new method ->types that returns a list of
  all supported archive types
* promote 0.15_03 to stable  

0.15_03 Thu Jan  4 14:46:58 2007

* address #23999: Attempt to generate Makefile.PL 
  gone awry where paths starting with a '.' 
  are sometimes reported to be extracted in '.' 
  as well rather than their actual extraction dir.

0.15_02 Sun Nov 26 18:06:02 2006

* fix testing logic error, that assumed extracted 
  files were always logged when we did not prefer 
  binaries to extract with. However, that does not 
  mean the perl module is available, so we might 
  not have buffers after all.
* make sure we dont have test count mismatches 
  between buffers/non-buffers
