  extract() is vulnerable to print globals.

0.36    Tue Nov 24 10:27:16 2009

* Explicitly use Cwd's chdir

0.34    Sat Jun 27 14:23:54 2009

* Attempt to address #46948: unable to install install on win32.
  Binaries on Win32 are notoriously unreliable and Strawberry perl
  ships with all the needed perl modules, so skip failed binary
  tests on Win32.
* Address #47053: Use Archive::Tar iter to keep from read the 
  tar into memory. Thanks to Robert Krimen and Doug Wilson for 
  their patches.

0.32    Fri Jun 12 13:23:11 2009

* Some tars have extra newlines in their '-x' output, 
  so grep for 'length' when parsing the file list, or 
  errors like this one can crop up:
    http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/03/msg3476639.html 
* Add docs that A::E is not always thread safe. See RT #45671

0.31_03 Wed Mar 11 12:38:43 2009

* Newer versions of 'tar' (1.21 and up) now print record size
  to STDERR as well if v OR t is given (used to be both). This 
  is a 'feature' according to the changelog, so we must now only
  inspect STDOUT, otherwise, failures like these occur:
  nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/02/msg3230366.html
  Thanks to tcallawa from RedHat for tracking this down.

0.31_02 Tue Mar  3 17:01:26 2009

* 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
