Revision history for Perl extension IO::LockedFile. 0.23 Thu Feb 20 13:15:33 CET 2003 - Removed a croak when failing to unlock in Flock.pm. I removed it in order to avoid from that croak in the wrong time when running on cygwin. It seems that beside this problem it runs correctly on cygwin. If someone can clear this issue for me - please do. 0.22 Tue Sep 24 14:11:39 CEST 2002 - Just fixed the copyright notice. 0.21 Thu May 16 09:40:16 CEST 2002 - Thanks to Ho Ming Shun who found and patched a bug in the open method. The bug occured when numeric mode was used, the opened file would be locked exclusively always. - The test.pl was re-written to add some more tests. 0.2 Mon Apr 2 14:30:31 CEST 2001 - Many changes due to the great contribution of Rob Napier: The class became abstract where classes in the directory LockedFile implements it. This way new schemes other then Flock can be introduced. The interface was extended as a result of that, and the options hash was introduced. Among the new features: opening a file that is not yet locked, blocking & unblocking locks, checking if the file is opened to write and supplying this information to the lock method (so for example shared lock can be used on files that are read), print method, and truncate method. 0.1 Fri Feb 9 15:21:28 CET 2001 - First distribution on CPAN
