Revision history for Perl extension Net::FTP::Recursive. 1.0 Tue Jan 21 09:08:15 2003 - original version; created by h2xs 1.22 with options -X -v 1.0 -n Net::FTP::Recursive 1.1 Added rdir and rls methods. 1.4 Added code to handle symlinks a little better. 1.5 -Fixed bug that caused an infinite loop when a directory was unreachable. -Added rdelete method. -Added RemoveRemoteFiles and RemoveLocalFiles options. 1.6 -Fixed problems on some platforms where empty directories would cause problems. Specifically, an undef would get passed around and cause havoc when methods were called on them. Seen only on Windows platforms, as far as I know. -Fixed a bug with symlinks, where a symlink referring to a directory would not take you back to the original directory when doing a cdup. Now it manually retrieves the path first and cwd's back to that dir. -Added code to test for cycles and to be smart and make symlinks wherever possible. This is only used when the SymlinkFollow option to rget is used. It obviously will not be fully functional under Windows (no symlinks), but the cycle elimination should work. -Added options for allowing for the matching or omission of certain filenames. -Added code to make sure that files accessed through a symlink will not be deleted if RemoveRemoteFiles is set. If the files will be deleted elsewhere in the tree via a directory, then they will obviously still be deleted. 1.7 -Fixed rdir when used with symlinks. Now it should note cycles and not follow them. -Reduced the # of redundant calls to $ftp->pwd and on getting the local pwd. -Removed some debugging info that I had put in to debug v1.6. -Made SymlinkLink superceded by the other options if given. This was to allow for the meaningful use of SymlinkLink in concert with either SymlinkFollow or SymlinkCopy. 1.8 -Implemented return codes for all methods. -Added some memory management code to hopefully help save memory when recursing. -Backported the module so that it should run ok on anything perl 5 or greater. Basically, I just changed the "our"s to use vars. -Now using the Cwd module to get the current working directory on the client machine, for platform independence. 1.9 -Fixed bug in creation of FTP object. It will now return undef if Net::FTP->new returns undef, rather than croaking. -All " = undef;" lines have been changed to "undef ;" as the former doesn't seem to work on some (every?) platform now. 1.10 -Added "CheckSizes" option that will compare the remote filesize with the local file size before deleting. 1.11 -Added "CheckSizes" option to the rput method. 2.00 -Changed the version number to fix indexing on CPAN. (Not sure if this is gonna work). -Added carping for when the rls/rdir functions are not given FileHandles. -Added "PrintType" option to rls and rdir.
