1.6.2 - 4-Aug-2009

• Now compatible with Ruby 1.9.x.

• License changed to Artistic 2.0.

• Added the Pathname.pwd method as a synonym for Pathname.new(Dir.pwd).

• Modified Pathname#dirname so that you can specify a level that indicates how many levels up you want to retrieve. For example, if your path was '/usr/local/bin', then path.dirname(2) would return '/usr'.

• Now compatible with Ruby 1.9.x.

• Bumped required version of the facade library to 1.0.4.

1.6.1 - 8-Nov-2008

• Added the Pathname#[] method, which accepts an index, an index plus a length, or a range, and returns appropriate the path element(s).

• Refactoring the platform checking in the test suite to use rbconfig instead of RUBY_PLATFORM.

• More inline documentation examples.

1.6.0 - 13-July-2008

• The facade for ftools (and ftools itself) has been removed. The ftools library is deprecated in favor of FileUtils.

• PathnameError is now Pathname::Error.

• Bug fix for Pathname#relative_path_from for MS Windows. Thanks go to an anonymous user for the spot.

• Fixed a bug where frozen strings would raise an error on MS Windows.

• The code is now -w clean.

• Removed the C version as part of the release because it was just too difficult to maintain both versions. The C code remains in CVS, however.

• Changed platform checking to use rbconfig instead of RUBY_PLATFORM to avoid potential issues with other Ruby implementation.

1.5.2 - 9-Mar-2007

• Bug fix for the Pathname#realpath method where it was not handling recursive symlinks. The C version was also fixed, but it only affected platforms that don't have the realpath() function.

• Added a test for recursive symlinks (for Solaris, anyway).

• Updated the docs for Pathname#realpath.

• Minor speed enhancements for the C version and the elimination of one (potential) segfault.

• Added a 'Future Plans' section to the README.

• Added a Rakefile. You can now build, clean, and test and install (both the pure Ruby and C versions).

1.5.1 - 28-Aug-2006

• Added the Kernel#pn method as a shortcut for Pathname.new.

• The Pathname#readlink now properly handles symbolic links. The 'fix' from 1.4.4 did not work.

• The C extension uses your system's realpath() function for the Pathname#readlink method if it has one.

• Added the '/' alias for '+'. So, p1 / p2 is the same as p1 + p2.

• The windows-pr package is now required on MS Windows.

1.5.0 - 17-Apr-2006

• Better subclass handling, in that some methods that previously returned hardcoded Pathname.new now return self.class.new.

• File URL's are now handled on Unix as well (using the 'uri' package).

• Some comment changes/clarifications.

• Added the PathnameError class to the pure Ruby version.

1.4.4 - 23-Mar-2006

• If the path is a symbolic link the Pathname#realpath method now returns the absolute path of that link, i.e. the result of File.readlink (as a Pathname object).

1.4.3 - 3-Mar-2006

• Added the Pathname#realpath method.

1.4.2 - 22-Feb-2006

• Fixed the Pathname#relative_path_from method for Windows. This really only affected edge cases that you probably never saw anyway.

• Added corresponding tests for Windows.

1.4.1 - 18-Feb-2006

• Added the Pathname#parent method.

• Added the Pathname#relative_path_from method.

• Bug fix for Pathname#pstrip on *nix.

• Corresponding test suite additions.

1.4.0 - 19-Dec-2005

• Added destructive and non-destructive methods for some methods - pstrip, pstrip!, undecorate, undecorate!, clean and clean!.

• Added a C extension version of this package. You can use the C version instead of the pure Ruby version instead. See the README for more details.

• Fixed bug in the root method where the result wasn't guaranteed to be a Pathname class.

• Fixed bugs in Windows version where the receiver was inadvertantly modified in some cases, and added tests to check for this in the future.

• Modified the Dir.glob facade so that it (temporarily) changes to the path directory, globs on that path, then returns to the original directory.

• Added the bench_pathname.rb script to let you benchmark all Pathname methods.

1.3.1 - 21-Nov-2005

• Added the Pathname#children method.

• Added tests for the Pathname#children method.

1.3.0 - 28-Oct-2005

• Added the short_path and long_path methods for MS Windows.

• Optimization for the '+' method on Unix.

• Added some examples under the 'examples' directory.

• More tests added and some minor changes to the test suite in general.

1.2.1 - 1-Sep-2005

• Bug fix for the ascend and descend methods wrt Windows and UNC paths.

• More tests added for ascend and descend methods.

1.2.0 - 29-Aug-2005

• Added the 'ascend' and 'descend' methods.

• Added corresponding test suite additions.

1.1.0 - 13-Jul-2005
