IO-Compress 2.017

on Perl CPAN

Merged IO-Compress-Base, IO-Compress-Bzip2, IO-Compress-Zlib &
Compress-Zlib into IO-Compress.

The interface to Compress-Raw-Zlib now uses the new LimitOutput
feature. This will make all of the zlib-related IO-Compress modules
less greedy in their memory consumption.

Removed MAN3PODS from Makefile.PL

A few changes to get the test harness to work on VMS courtesy of
Craig. A. Berry.

IO::Compress::Base & IO::Uncompress::Base
Downgraded some croaks in the constructors to just set $! (by letting
the code attempt to open a file and fail).
This makes the behavior more consistent to a standard open.
[RT #42657]

IO::Uncompress::Base
Doing a seek with MultiStream could drop some of the uncompressed
data. Fixed.

IO::Compress::Zip

• Fixed problem with the uncompressed & uncompressed fields when
  zip64 is enabled. They were set to 0x0000FFFF instead of
  0xFFFFFFFF. Also the ZIP64 extra field was 4 bytes short.
  Problem spotted by Dino Chiesa.
  

IO::Uncompress::Unzip

• use POSIX::mktime instead of Time::Local::timelocal to convert
  the zip DOS time field into Unix time.
  

Compress::Zlib

• Documented Compress::Zlib::zlib_version()
