== 1.3.3 - 25-Sep-2015 * This gem is now signed. * The Rakefile tasks now assume Rubygems 2.x. == 1.3.2 - 11-Dec-2014 * Update to the File.tail method that deals prevents potential line ending issues in JRuby. * Added known issues with JRuby to the README. == 1.3.1 - 9-Dec-2014 * Fixed some potential issues with File.tail. Thanks go to Matt Hoyle for the patch. == 1.3.0 - 8-Dec-2014 * Made the File.tail method efficient. It's no longer slurpy, and it also no longer includes line endings in the result. * Removed the File.middle method. I don't think it's useful. == 1.2.7 - 6-Dec-2014 * File.which now expands ~ for paths. Thanks go to dg-vrnetze for the patch. * Use /dev/null for cygwin instead of NUL. * Use mv instead of cp in the nl_convert method. * Solaris now handled explicitly in nl_convert, and OSX now considered Unix. * Modified the binary? method to check 4096 bytes at most. * Thanks to Matt Hoyle for many of the changes implemented in this release. == 1.2.6 - 14-Jul-2014 * Updated the png? and jpg? methods so they explicitly specify the offset argument so that it works with 1.9.2 and earlier. Thanks go to Anurag Priyam for the spot. == 1.2.5 - 11-Jul-2014 * Added a Gemfile, mostly for Travis CI. * Added rake as a development dependency. * Revert back to hash syntax supported by 1.8.x. * Removed rubyforge_project from gemspec. * Updated the tests for File.sparse? so that it doesn't rely on an external file. == 1.2.4 - 25-Feb-2014 * The File.binary method now always returns false for images. It is meant to detect executables, shared objects, etc. Use File.image? to detect images. * Encoding fixes for the File.image? method. == 1.2.3 - 19-Feb-2014 * Fixed a bug where File.binary? would return true for unicode text. Thanks go to Ben Hollis for the spot. * Updated the win32-file and test-unit dependencies. * Replace all instances of File.exists? with File.exist? because the former is deprecated in Ruby 2.1 and later. == 1.2.2 - 6-Apr-2012 * Yet another sparse file test fix for OSX, which does not support sparse file generation on HFS+. * Fixed a bug in the File.whereis method on Windows when dealing with absolute paths. * Some Config vs RbConfig fixes to silence 1.9.3 warnings. * Refactored and cleaned up some tests. == 1.2.1 - 20-May-2011 * Added an (empty) .gemtest file so that it can be used with test.rubygems.org. * Fixed a sparse file test. == 1.2.0 - 8-Jan-2011 * Added the File.sparse? method for Unix platforms. This method already exists on Windows courtesy of the win32-file library. == 1.1.9 - 25-Mar-2010 * Refactored File.which and File.whereis and added additional tests for each. * Removed the block form of File.whereis. * Reorganized the Rakefile a bit and put the test tasks under the 'test' namespace, and the gem tasks under the 'gem' namespace. * Updated the test-unit development dependency. * Updates the README. == 1.1.8 - 6-Oct-2009 * Fixed some bad variable names that crept into the File.nl_convert method. * Added the File.null_device alias for File.null. * Added cygwin and mingw to Windows detection code. * One of the nlconvert tests is now skipped on Windows. * Two text files that were previously bundled as part of this library for testing purposes have been removed. Those are now dynamically generated within the tests themselves. * Gemspec updates. * Documentation updates. * Added the :gem rake task. == 1.1.7 - 28-Jul-2009 * Now compatible with Ruby 1.9.x. * Replaced RUBY_PLATFORM with rbconfig check for the sake of other implementations, such as JRuby. * Updated the tests to be more friendly to JRuby. * Added Test::Unit 2.x as a development dependency. * Renamed the test files. == 1.1.6 - 31-Aug-2007 * Fixed the File.touch method so that it doesn't whack existing files. Thanks go to Thomas Preymesser for the spot. * Added corresponding tests to the tc_touch.rb file. == 1.1.5 - 19-Jul-2007 * Added the File.image? method. Inspired by ruby-talk: 260487. == 1.1.4 - 21-May-2007 * Removed the install.rb file. Installation is now handled exclusively by the rake install task. * Updated the MANIFEST file, and made it rdoc friendly. * Manual installation corrections in the README file. == 1.1.3 - 29-Apr-2007 * I changed the way that the constants IS_WINDOWS and WIN32EXTS are defined. * The IS_WINDOWS and WIN32EXTS are no long documented publically. They were never meant for public use. * The tc_constants.rb file was modified to only run certain tests on Windows. == 1.1.2 - 28-Apr-2007 * Fixed a require line that could cause problems on MS Windows. * Added a Rakefile which includes tasks for installation and testing. * Some cleanup and improvement in the various test files. == 1.1.1 - 24-Aug-2006 * Added the File.binary? method, based on code from Ryan Davis. == 1.1.0 - 23-Aug-2006 * Added the File.null method which returns the bit bucket on your platform. * The suffixes on MS Windows are now based on the PATHEXT environment variable, and defaults to '.com', '.bat' and '.exe' only if it's not defined. * The File.which and File.whereis methods were tweaked a bit for Windows so that they ignore the case of suffixes. * Modified the platform checking and path separator handling. * Added and tweaked some tests. == 1.0.0 - 2-Jun-2005 * Modified the File.middle method to accept an optional block. * File.whereis is now limited to unique values so that redundant PATH entries do not cause redundant entries in the returned array (or block). * File.nl_convert and File.touch now return self. * File.nl_convert now raises ArgumentError (instead of StandardError) if an unknown platform is provided. * File.wc now raises ArgumentError (instead of RuntimeError) if a bad option is provided. * Made documentation rdoc friendly. * Test suite updates, corrections and additions. * Removed the INSTALL file. See the README instead. * Moved project to RubyForge. == 0.1.3 - 5-Dec-2003 * Modified File#which and File#whereis for Win32 to handle extensions better, i.e. you can send "ruby" or "ruby.exe" and get back the same result. * Minor test changes to tc_which.rb and tc_whereis.rb. == 0.1.2 - 14-May-2003 * Modified nl_convert() to allow the destination filename to be the same as the source file. In that case, a tempfile is used and copied back over the original file. * The target file name for nl_convert() now defaults to the source file name and the default format is now "dos". * Added a tc_constants.rb test suite. * Test suite additions/fixes. * Updates to MANIFEST. == 0.1.1 - 21-Mar-2003 * Modified File.tail to return data in the same order that 'tail' does. * Modified File.which to return nil if the program is not found. * Modified File.whereis now uses '\' instead of '/' on MS Windows. * Added File.middle class method. * Test suite modification & additions. * Thanks go to Shanko for both the spot and patch for tail, which, whereis and middle. == 0.1.0 - 18-Mar-2003 * Initial release
