- * Minor modification to one GetFinalPathNameByHandle test.
6
-
7
- = 1.2.0 - 24-Mar-2011
8
- * All methods and constants are now private. These methods were never meant
9
- to be used by individual objects, but are only meant to be used internally.
10

399
- * Minor updates and fixes for the Unicode and DeviceIO modules.
400
- * Added some wide character support, based on $KCODE values (which should
401

404
- * Added the Registry module
405

1
+ = 1.2.2 - 12-Jul-2012
2
+ * Changed some of the function prototypes in the Windows::Process module to
3
+ use 'S' instead of 'P' when dealing with const* strings. This fixes potential
4

12
+ module have been made friendlier. They will now accept either a string
13
+ or an address for the second argument.
14
+ * Minor modification to one GetFinalPathNameByHandle test.
15
+
16
+ = 1.2.0 - 24-Mar-2011
17
+ * All methods and constants are now private. These methods were never meant
18
+ to be used by individual objects, but are only meant to be used internally.
19
+ Note that, because of an issue currently in the windows-api library, some
20
+ methods may still be currently public, but users of this library should not
21
+ count on that for long.
22
+ * Added the Windows::WSA and Windows::Socket modules.
23
+ * Fixed the MAKEWORD and MAKELONG macro methods in the SystemInfo module.
24
+ * Added many more functions and some constants to the Windows::Registry module.
25

26
+ * Fixed the HKEY_CURRENT_USER constant in the Windows::Registry module.
27
+ * The custom GetFinalPathNameByHandle method for Windows XP and 2000 has been
28
+ fixed and reworked. It is limited to a defacto VOLUME_NAME_NT flag value,
29
+ however. See the comments for details.
30
+
31
+ = 1.1.3 - 20-Jan-2011
32

+ * Removed the non-gem installation task and added a clean task.
46
+
47
+ = 1.0.9 - 6-Feb-2010
48
+ * A couple of modules that were checking against $KCODE now check against
49
+ __ENCODING__ or the string encoding for Ruby 1.9.x.
50
+ * Removed an indentation warning that was revealed by Ruby 1.9.x.
51
+ * Refactored the Rakefile, scoping and adding additional tasks.

53
+ without warning with 1.9.x.
54
+ * Added SERVICE_ACCEPT_PRESHUTDOWN constant to service.rb.
55
+
56
+ = 1.0.8 - 24-Aug-2009
57
+ * Several return value constants that were set at -1 are now set to
58
+ 0xFFFFFFFF instead because win32-api returns unsigned longs.
59
+ * Removed the two mailslot constants from the Windows::File module. They're
60
+ defined in the Windows::Mailslot module.
61
+ * Added the windows_version method to the Windows::SystemInfo module. It
62
+ returns a float in 'major.minor' format.
63
+
64
+ = 1.0.7 - 20-Aug-2009
65
+ * Added the Windows::Mailslot module.
66
+ * The IsProcessInJob function in the Windows::Process module is now wrapped
67
+ properly so that it doesn't cause an error on Windows 2000. Thanks go to
68
+ Finbar Clenaghan for the spot.
69
+ * Minor updates to the conversion guide.

105
+ module. Thanks go to an anonymous user for the spot.
106
+ * Added the beginnings of the Windows::Security::Authentication module.
107
+
108
+ = 1.0.1 - 9-Feb-2009
109
+ * Added the Windows::Window::Menu module.
110
+ * Added the Windows::Window::Classes module.
111
+ * Added tests for several Windows::Window::XXX modules that weren't

119
+ * Fixed the prototype for DuplicateHandle() in the Windows::Handle module.
120
+
121
+ = 0.9.9 - 1-Feb-2009
122
+ * Now explicitly checks for Win32::API::LoadLibraryError in the method
123
+ declarations instead of Windows::API::Error. The latter no longer exists,
124
+ and the former is a better way to check for methods that don't exist on
125
+ particular versions of Windows. This change requires windows-api 0.3.0
126
+ and win32-api 1.3.0.
127
+ * Added a few functions to the Windows::Security module.
128
+ * Added the NtQuerySystemInformation function to the Windows::NTFS::Winternl
129
+ module.
130
+ * Added tests for the Windows::NTFS::Winternl module.
131
+ * Declaration fix in Windows::Security module for Win2k.

+ = 0.9.7 - 5-Dec-2008
139
+ * Renamed Windows::NTFS::File to Windows::NTFS::Winternl.
140
+ * Updated the Windows::Network::Management and Windows::Shell modules to use
141
+ the 'S' prototype where appropriate.
142
+ * Updated the Windows::File module to use the 'S' prototype where appropriate.
143
+ * Added the GetFinalPathNameByHandle function to the Windows::NTFS::Winternl
144
+ module for Windows XP/2000.
145
+ * Added a few new functions to the Windows::Volume module and converted 'P'
146
+ prototypes to 'S' where appropriate.
147
+ * Added SE_OBJECT_TYPE enumeration values to the Windows::Security module.
148
+
149
+ = 0.9.6 - 14-Nov-2008
150
+ * Updated the RegisterServiceCtrlHandler and RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx
151
+ prototypes in the Windows::Service module. Changed old 'P' prototype to 'K'
152
+ for callbacks.
153
+ * Added explicit ANSI and Wide character functions for GetFileSecurity and
154
+ SetFileSecurity in the Windows::Security module (since automatic unicode
155
+ generation is set to false for that particular module).
156
+ * Added IO reparse point tag constants to the Windows::File module.
157
+ * The multi_to_wide helper method in Windows::Unicode now returns the string
158
+ as-is if it's already a Unicode string.
159
+ * A couple 'P' prototypes were switched to 'S' in Windows::Unicode functions.
160
+
161
+ = 0.9.5 - 21-Oct-2008
162
+ * Fixed the rescue clauses for unsupported functions for the Windows::Console
163
+ and Windows::Debug modules. Thanks go to an anonymous user for the spot.
164
+ * Added a couple functions to the Windows::File and Windows::NIO modules.
165
+ * Removed the SetFilePointer and SetFilePointerEx functions from the
166
+ Windows::File module since they're already in the Windows::NIO module.
167
+
168
+ = 0.9.4 - 27-Sep-2008
169
+ * Added some macros from windef.h to the Windows::SystemInfo module.
170
+ * Added the windows_2000?, windows_xp?, windows_2003? and windows_vista?
171
+ helper methods to the Windows::SystemInfo module.
172
+ * Added the umask and umask_s functions to the Windows::MSVCRT::File module.

179
+
180
+ = 0.9.3 - 12-Sep-2008
181
+ * Added event logging functions for Windows Vista and later to the
182
+ Windows::EventLog module.
183
+
184
+ = 0.9.2 - 5-Sep-2008
185
+ * Added some WoW64 functions to Windows::File and Windows::SystemInfo.
186
+ * All modules now rescue Windows::API::Error for failed function loads.
187
+ I was previously inconsistent on just what error I was rescuing.
188
+
189
+ = 0.9.1 - 28-Jul-2008
190
+ * Yet another refactoring of the multi_to_wide and wide_to_multi helper
191
+ methods in the Windows::Unicode module. In addition to a bug fix, they
192
+ now raise an ArgumentError if they fail.
193
+ * Yet another tweak to get_last_error in the Windows::Error module. It now
194
+ always uses the explicit ANSI version of the FormatMessage function.
195
+ * Added tests for the multi_to_wide and wide_to_multi helper methods.
196
+
197
+ = 0.9.0 - 26-Jul-2008
198
+ * The process of converting prototypes from 'P' to 'S' has begun. This
199
+ means that this library now requires win32-api 1.2.0 or later.
200
+ * Added the Windows::Window::Message module.
201
+ * Added the Windows::Window::Timer module.
202
+ * Added the Windows::Window::Dialog module.
203
+ * Added many more functions and constants to the Windows::Security module.
204
+ * All ACE related constants have been move from the Windows::File module and
205
+ are instead defined in the Windows::Security module. Not to worry, though.
206
+ The Windows::File module now mixes in the Windows::Security module.
207
+ * Added several profile related functions to the Windows::Shell module.
208
+ * Changed the prototype of ConvertSidToStringSid and ConvertStringSidToSid
209
+ back to 'LP' in the Windows::Security module. I'm not sure why I changed
210
+ those before. If this causes too much grief I'll change them back.
211
+
212
+ = 0.8.7 - 23-Jun-2008
213
+ * Wide character fix for the get_last_error helper function. Thanks go to
214
+ Dave Whitley for the spot.
215
+ * Added local memory functions and constants to the Windows::Memory module.
216
+

232
+ * Wrapped the GetLayeredWindowAttributes function in the Windows::Window
233
+ module since it is only supported on Windows XP or later.
234
+ * Fixed the CreateThread prototype with regards to callback support.
235
+
236
+ = 0.8.3 - 26-Apr-2008
237
+ * Now requires windows-api 0.2.3 or later to take advantage of the
238
+ improvements in auto constant generation.
239
+ * Fixed a scope resolution bug in the custom memcpy method in the
240
+ Windows::MSVCRT::Buffer module.
241
+ * Added some more Windows::MSVCRT::String functions.
242
+ * Added the FSCTL_ENUM_USN_DATA macro method in Windows::DeviceIO.
243
+ * Some modules were refactored to take advantage of the improvements in
244
+ windows-api 0.2.3. This resulted in a net reduction of code.
245
+
246
+ = 0.8.2 - 17-Apr-2008
247
+ * Most of the MSVCRT modules now use the MSVCRT_DLL from the Windows::API
248
+ library. This helps resolve an obscure bug where state information from a
249
+ statically linked runtime DLL is local to that runtime and not shared with
250
+ the Ruby process.
251
+ * Now requires windows-api 0.2.2 or later.
252
+ * Added more MSVCRT tests.
253
+
254
+ = 0.8.1 - 27-Mar-2008

260
+ * Moved Windows::NetworkManagement to Windows::Network::Management.

265
+ * Added many more methods to Windows::COM.
266
+ * Fixed the prototype for the SetConsoleCtrlHandler in the Windows::Console
267
+ module, and added the CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT constant.

271
+ * Added many more constants to the Windows::NetworkManagement module.
272
+ * Added several more functions and a few constants to the Windows::Process
273
+ module.
274
+ * The multi_to_wide and wide_to_multi methods in Windows::Unicode will now
275
+ return nil if you pass a nil argument. Also, they will raise a TypeError
276
+ if you pass a non-nil, non-string object.
277
+
278
+ = 0.7.3 - 23-Nov-2007
279

287
+ * Added several token related methods and constants to the Windows::Security
288
+ module.
289
+ * The multi_to_wide and wide_to_multi methods were refactored slightly. Both
290
+ now only use MSVCRT string functions internally in case any Ruby String
291
+ methods are redefined.
292
+
293
+ = 0.7.2 - 15-Oct-2007
294
+ * Added the Windows::MSVCRT::Time module.

317
+ * Added the Windows::MSVCRT::IO module.
318
+ * Removed the SetConsoleCommandHistoryMode method from the Windows::Console
319
+ module. This was a preliminary function for Vista only, and it has since
320
+ been removed. Thanks go to Drew Colthorp for the spot.
321
+
322
+ = 0.6.5 - 28-Feb-2007
323
+ * Important bug fixes for the Windows::Directory, Windows::Memory,
324
+ Windows::Synchronize and Windows::Volume modules. These were either fixes
325
+ for the function declaration or the wrapper method. Thanks go to Katsuyuki
326
+ Miyamuko for the spot and the patches.
327
+
328
+ = 0.6.4 - 28-Feb-2007
329
+ * Add more string functions to the Windows::MSVCRT::String module.
330
+ * Minor enhancement to the multi_to_wide and wide_to_multi helper methods in

+ optional second argument.
333
+ * Added several more methods to the Windows::National module.
334
+ * Finer grained method wrapping/checking for the Windows::Volume module.
