-== 1.3.6 - 24-Mar-2012
-* Eliminated some warnings for Ruby 1.9.3.
-
-== 1.3.5 - 21-Nov-2011
-* Fixed a bug in the dev method for 1.9.x.
-* Fixed some method redefinition warnings.
-* Refactored the Rakefile and gemspec. The old install task has been
- removed from the Rakefile.
-
-== 1.3.4 - 13-Aug-2009
-* Changed license to Artistic 2.0.
-* Some gemspec updates, including the addition of a license, an updated
- description, and changing test-unit from a runtime dependency to a
- development dependency.
-* Some documentation updates, mostly to make certain things invisible that
- aren't meant for public consumption.
-* One test now skipped on 64-bit versions of Windows.
-
-== 1.3.3 - 9-Feb-2009
-* Fixed a bug where File::Stat.new failed on locked files. Thanks go to
- Montgomery Kosma for the spot.
-* Now requires windows-pr 1.0.0 or later.
-* Updated the README to note that 32 bit versions of Ruby which attempt
- to access locked system files on 64 bit versions of MS Windows will fail.
-
-== 1.3.2 - 1-Oct-2008
-* Fixed an issue with the private get_blksize method.
-* Updated the test suite to use Test::Unit 2.x, which also makes it a
- required dependency.
-* Removed the pre-generated .txt and .exe files that were used for testing.
- These are now generated within the test suite itself.
-* Fixed two broken size tests, and now omits one blockdev test if there's no
- media in the drive.
-
-== 1.3.1 - 9-Aug-2008
-* Fixed the stat buf to be the proper size (I had too many struct members).
-* Modified the tests slightly.
-
-== 1.3.0 - 1-Aug-2008
-* Fixed a couple of function calls where I had forgotten to call an
- explicitly wide version.
-* No longer ignores failures on empty block devices, e.g. CD-ROM drives
- without any media in them. A SystemCallError is raised instead.
-* Added blockdev boolean to the inspect/pp output.
-* Fixed a potential issue with an internal helper function and the new 'S'
- prototype from win32-api 1.2.0 or later.
-
-== 1.2.8 - 29-Jul-2008
-* Internally now always uses wide character functions.
-* A private alias was made private.
-* Now requires windows-pr 0.9.1 or later.
-
-== 1.2.7 - 1-Oct-2007
-* Changed an error type in a private method in order to maintain
- compatibility with the FileUtils module.
-
-== 1.2.6 - 29-Sep-2007
-* Minor tweak to the way I handle redefining the initialize method. The
- old_init alias is now removed.
-* Now handles a potential failure in getting the atime, ctime and mtime,
- caused by the underlying filesystem, e.g. Samba. If it fails, these
- fields are set to the epoch. Thanks go an anonymous user for the spot.
-* Added a Rakefile that includes tasks for installation and testing.
-* Removed the install.rb file. That has been inlined into the Rakefile.
-
-== 1.2.5 - 5-Apr-2007
-* Now runs -w clean.
-
-== 1.2.4 - 22-Jan-2007
-* Improved block device handling.
-
-== 1.2.3 - 4-Nov-2006
-* Bug fix for file sizes over 4gb.
-
-== 1.2.2 - 13-May-2006
-* Yet another blksize bug fix.
-* Minor tweak to the pretty_print method with regards to handling nil values.
-* Bumped the minimum required windows-pr version to 0.4.0 in the gemspec.
-
-== 1.2.1 - 12-May-2006
-* Fixed a bug with regards to the block count where the constructor would die
- with a FloatDomainError if the blksize returned 0 or nil. It now defaults
- to nil in that event.
-
-== 1.2.0 - 23-Apr-2006
-* Removed the attribute setters. From now on this class provides readonly
- methods. Use the win32-file library for attribute setters.
-* Added the content_indexed? alias for the indexed? method.
-* Corresponding test suite changes.
-* Fixed the pp issue by writing a custom pretty_print method.
-
-== 1.1.0 - 15-Apr-2006
-* Added the chardev?, dev_major, dev_minor directory?, file?, executable?,
- executable_real?, ftype, grpowned?, owned?, pipe?, readable?, readable_real?,
- rdev_major, rdev_minor, setgid?, setuid?, size?, socket?, sticky?, symlink?,
- writable?, writable_real? and zero? methods. Note that not all of these
- methods return meaningful values and were merely added to match the current
- spec. See documentation for details.
-* Added a VERSION constant.
-* Some optimization in the constructor.
-
-== 1.0.0 - 13-Apr-2006
-* Initial release
+== 1.4.0 - 16-Dec-2013
+* Conversion to FFI.
+* Now requires Ruby 1.9 or later.
+* The #mode method now more closely matches core MRI.
+* The #executable? method now simply checks the extension name. The Windows
+ API method I was using before (GetBinaryType) was limited to .exe files and
+ could return false positives. The current version checks for .bat, .cmd,
+ .com and .exe.
+* The #dev method returns the volume serial number instead of a drive letter.
+* The #symlink? method was implemented.
+* The #uid method was implemented. It now returns an actual user id. It can
+ optionally be passed a boolean argument. If true, it will return the full
+ string SID.
+* The #owned? method was implemented.
+* The #gid method was implemented. It now returns an actual group id. It can
+ optionally be passed a boolean argument. If true, it will return the full
+ string SID.
+* The #grpowned? method was implemented.
+* The #ino method was implemented.
+* Added working implementations of the #readable?, #writable?,
+ #world_readable? and #world_writable? methods.
+* The VERSION constant was changed to WIN32_FILE_STAT_VERSION.
