data/CHANGES CHANGED

@@ -1,438 +1,444 @@
-= 1.2.2 - 12-Jul-2012
-* Changed some of the function prototypes in the Windows::Process module to
-  use 'S' instead of 'P' when dealing with const* strings. This fixes potential
-  errors regarding attempted modification of frozen strings. Thanks go to
-  Pok Lau and John Keiser.
-* Fixed the multi_to_wide documentation. Thanks go to Dan Rathbun for the spot.
-* Fixed the MEM_4MB_PAGES constant in the Windows::Memory module.
-* Added some token related error constants to the Windows::Error module.
-= 1.2.1 - 25-Aug-2011
-* The strcpy, mbscpy and wsccpy functions in the Windows::MSVCRT::String
-  module have been made friendlier. They will now accept either a string
-  or an address for the second argument.
-* Minor modification to one GetFinalPathNameByHandle test.
-= 1.2.0 - 24-Mar-2011
-* All methods and constants are now private. These methods were never meant
-  to be used by individual objects, but are only meant to be used internally.
-  Note that, because of an issue currently in the windows-api library, some
-  methods may still be currently public, but users of this library should not
-  count on that for long.
-* Added the Windows::WSA and Windows::Socket modules.
-* Fixed the MAKEWORD and MAKELONG macro methods in the SystemInfo module.
-* Added many more functions and some constants to the Windows::Registry module.
-  Thanks go to Dan Rathbun for the suggestion.
-* Fixed the HKEY_CURRENT_USER constant in the Windows::Registry module.
-* The custom GetFinalPathNameByHandle method for Windows XP and 2000 has been
-  fixed and reworked. It is limited to a defacto VOLUME_NAME_NT flag value,
-  however. See the comments for details.
-= 1.1.3 - 20-Jan-2011
-* Added the windows_7? method to the Windows::SystemInfo module.
-* Some minor cosmetic updates to other files.
-= 1.1.2 - 6-Nov-2010

-* Added more tests for the Windows::Volume module.
-* Removed the non-gem installation task and added a clean task.
-= 1.0.9 - 6-Feb-2010
-* A couple of modules that were checking against $KCODE now check against
-  __ENCODING__ or the string encoding for Ruby 1.9.x.
-* Removed an indentation warning that was revealed by Ruby 1.9.x.
-* Refactored the Rakefile, scoping and adding additional tasks.
-* Updated some tests to handling Ruby 1.9.x better. All tests now pass
-  without warning with 1.9.x.
-* Added SERVICE_ACCEPT_PRESHUTDOWN constant to service.rb.
-= 1.0.8 - 24-Aug-2009
-* Several return value constants that were set at -1 are now set to
-  0xFFFFFFFF instead because win32-api returns unsigned longs.
-* Removed the two mailslot constants from the Windows::File module. They're
-  defined in the Windows::Mailslot module.
-* Added the windows_version method to the Windows::SystemInfo module. It
-  returns a float in 'major.minor' format.
-= 1.0.7 - 20-Aug-2009
-* Added the Windows::Mailslot module.
-* The IsProcessInJob function in the Windows::Process module is now wrapped
-  properly so that it doesn't cause an error on Windows 2000. Thanks go to
-  Finbar Clenaghan for the spot.
-* Minor updates to the conversion guide.
-= 1.0.6 - 19-Jul-2009

-= 1.0.0 - 5-Feb-2009
-* Fixed the prototype for DuplicateHandle() in the Windows::Handle module.
-= 0.9.9 - 1-Feb-2009
-* Now explicitly checks for Win32::API::LoadLibraryError in the method
-  declarations instead of Windows::API::Error. The latter no longer exists,
-  and the former is a better way to check for methods that don't exist on
-  particular versions of Windows. This change requires windows-api 0.3.0
-  and win32-api 1.3.0.
-* Added a few functions to the Windows::Security module.
-* Added the NtQuerySystemInformation function to the Windows::NTFS::Winternl
-  module.

-  prototypes to 'S' where appropriate.
-* Added SE_OBJECT_TYPE enumeration values to the Windows::Security module.
-= 0.9.6 - 14-Nov-2008
-* Updated the RegisterServiceCtrlHandler and RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx
-  prototypes in the Windows::Service module. Changed old 'P' prototype to 'K'
-  for callbacks.
-* Added explicit ANSI and Wide character functions for GetFileSecurity and
-  SetFileSecurity in the Windows::Security module (since automatic unicode
-  generation is set to false for that particular module).
-* Added IO reparse point tag constants to the Windows::File module.
-* The multi_to_wide helper method in Windows::Unicode now returns the string
-  as-is if it's already a Unicode string.
-* A couple 'P' prototypes were switched to 'S' in Windows::Unicode functions.
-= 0.9.5 - 21-Oct-2008
-* Fixed the rescue clauses for unsupported functions for the Windows::Console
-  and Windows::Debug modules. Thanks go to an anonymous user for the spot.
-* Added a couple functions to the Windows::File and Windows::NIO modules.

-* Added NT privilege constants to the Windows::Security module.
-* The wide_to_multi helper function is now friendlier with regards to strings
-  that may be missing a trailing double null.
-= 0.9.3 - 12-Sep-2008
-* Added event logging functions for Windows Vista and later to the
-  Windows::EventLog module.
-= 0.9.2 - 5-Sep-2008
-* Added some WoW64 functions to Windows::File and Windows::SystemInfo.
-* All modules now rescue Windows::API::Error for failed function loads.
-  I was previously inconsistent on just what error I was rescuing.
-= 0.9.1 - 28-Jul-2008
-* Yet another refactoring of the multi_to_wide and wide_to_multi helper
-  methods in the Windows::Unicode module. In addition to a bug fix, they
-  now raise an ArgumentError if they fail.
-* Yet another tweak to get_last_error in the Windows::Error module. It now
-  always uses the explicit ANSI version of the FormatMessage function.
-* Added tests for the multi_to_wide and wide_to_multi helper methods.
-= 0.9.0 - 26-Jul-2008
-* The process of converting prototypes from 'P' to 'S' has begun. This
-  means that this library now requires win32-api 1.2.0 or later.
-* Added the Windows::Window::Message module.
-* Added the Windows::Window::Timer module.
-* Added the Windows::Window::Dialog module.
-* Added many more functions and constants to the Windows::Security module.
-* All ACE related constants have been move from the Windows::File module and
-  are instead defined in the Windows::Security module. Not to worry, though.
-  The Windows::File module now mixes in the Windows::Security module.
-* Added several profile related functions to the Windows::Shell module.
-* Changed the prototype of ConvertSidToStringSid and ConvertStringSidToSid
-  back to 'LP' in the Windows::Security module. I'm not sure why I changed
-  those before. If this causes too much grief I'll change them back.
-= 0.8.7 - 23-Jun-2008
-* Wide character fix for the get_last_error helper function. Thanks go to
-  Dave Whitley for the spot.

-* Added the FSCTL_ENUM_USN_DATA macro method in Windows::DeviceIO.
-* Some modules were refactored to take advantage of the improvements in
-  windows-api 0.2.3. This resulted in a net reduction of code.
-= 0.8.2 - 17-Apr-2008
-* Most of the MSVCRT modules now use the MSVCRT_DLL from the Windows::API
-  library. This helps resolve an obscure bug where state information from a
-  statically linked runtime DLL is local to that runtime and not shared with
-  the Ruby process.
-* Now requires windows-api 0.2.2 or later.
-* Added more MSVCRT tests.
-= 0.8.1 - 27-Mar-2008
-* Added waitable timer functions to the Windows::Synchronize module.

-  return nil if you pass a nil argument. Also, they will raise a TypeError
-  if you pass a non-nil, non-string object.
-= 0.7.3 - 23-Nov-2007
-* Several thread related methods were moved out of the Windows::Process
-  module and into the Windows::Thread module.

-  module.
-* Added several token related methods and constants to the Windows::Security
-  module.
-* The multi_to_wide and wide_to_multi methods were refactored slightly. Both
-  now only use MSVCRT string functions internally in case any Ruby String
-  methods are redefined.

-  Windows::SystemInfo module.
-= 0.6.6 - 3-May-2007
-* Added the Windows::MSVCRT::IO module.
-* Removed the SetConsoleCommandHistoryMode method from the Windows::Console
-  module. This was a preliminary function for Vista only, and it has since
-  been removed. Thanks go to Drew Colthorp for the spot.
-= 0.6.5 - 28-Feb-2007
-* Important bug fixes for the Windows::Directory, Windows::Memory,

+= 0.9.9 - 1-Feb-2009
+* Now explicitly checks for Win32::API::LoadLibraryError in the method
+  declarations instead of Windows::API::Error. The latter no longer exists,
+  and the former is a better way to check for methods that don't exist on
+  particular versions of Windows. This change requires windows-api 0.3.0

+* Updated the RegisterServiceCtrlHandler and RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx
+  prototypes in the Windows::Service module. Changed old 'P' prototype to 'K'
+  for callbacks.
+* Added explicit ANSI and Wide character functions for GetFileSecurity and
+  SetFileSecurity in the Windows::Security module (since automatic unicode
+  generation is set to false for that particular module).
+* Added IO reparse point tag constants to the Windows::File module.
+* The multi_to_wide helper method in Windows::Unicode now returns the string
+  as-is if it's already a Unicode string.

+  Windows::EventLog module.
+= 0.9.2 - 5-Sep-2008
+* Added some WoW64 functions to Windows::File and Windows::SystemInfo.
+* All modules now rescue Windows::API::Error for failed function loads.
+  I was previously inconsistent on just what error I was rescuing.
+= 0.9.1 - 28-Jul-2008
+* Yet another refactoring of the multi_to_wide and wide_to_multi helper
+  methods in the Windows::Unicode module. In addition to a bug fix, they
+  now raise an ArgumentError if they fail.
+* Yet another tweak to get_last_error in the Windows::Error module. It now
+  always uses the explicit ANSI version of the FormatMessage function.
+* Added tests for the multi_to_wide and wide_to_multi helper methods.
+= 0.9.0 - 26-Jul-2008
+* The process of converting prototypes from 'P' to 'S' has begun. This

+* Added several profile related functions to the Windows::Shell module.
+* Changed the prototype of ConvertSidToStringSid and ConvertStringSidToSid
+  back to 'LP' in the Windows::Security module. I'm not sure why I changed
+  those before. If this causes too much grief I'll change them back.

+= 0.8.2 - 17-Apr-2008
+* Most of the MSVCRT modules now use the MSVCRT_DLL from the Windows::API
+  library. This helps resolve an obscure bug where state information from a
+  statically linked runtime DLL is local to that runtime and not shared with
+  the Ruby process.
+* Now requires windows-api 0.2.2 or later.
+* Added more MSVCRT tests.
+= 0.8.1 - 27-Mar-2008
