0.98 2011-07-07
	- Updating to Module::Install 1.01
	- If Win32::GetFolderPath returns a \\UNC type path do not do the
	  normal -d sanity check, as strange and unusual bugs may occur.

0.97 2011-02-20
	- Looks good, moving to production release
	- This should finally pass on ActivePerl Mac

0.96_04 2011-02-01
	- Typo in 11_darwin.t

0.96_03 2011-01-31

	- Removed tests for legacy %~ interface

0.95 2011-01-31
	- Switch to prod version

0.94_01 2010-12-14
	- More special casing in tests to deal with stripped down non-root

	- Production release, no changes from 0.92_05

0.92_05 2010-09-13
	- use Mac::SystemDirectory for each Darwin based MacOS. (REHSACK)

0.92_04 2010-09-10
	- Be less strict about desktop and others on FreeDesktop (ADAMK)

0.92_03 2010-09-06
	- Adding experimental support for my_dist_config() (JQUELIN)
	- Adding diag comment on which drivers gets used (ADAMK)

	  directories. Skip tests for them in the same way as we do for the
	  Mac root users on darwin (GARU)

	- Adding missing prereq

0.90_03 2010-02-09
	- Using FreeDesktop implementation only if xdg-user-script is
	  present, since it's now what's been used internally. This should
	  prevent test failures seen in _02. (JQUELIN)
	
0.90_02 2010-01-14
	- Adding support for the alternate FreeBSD xdg directory (JQUELIN)
	- Improved specification compliance (DAXIM)

0.90_01 2010-01-07
	- WARNING: This release introduces a major backwards incompatibility
	  for Unix users. The results returned by most methods may change.
	- Added complete implementation of the FreeDesktop specification and
	  auto-detection of the Unix hosts to which it applies (JQUELIN)
	- 01_compile.t now loads all backends (since on most platforms,
	  most backends will never normally be loaded).

0.89 2010-01-03
	- Loosen the testing intensity on Darwin Carbon backends to prevent
	  issues with consumer directories prevent installation entirely.

0.88 2009-11-24
	- Switching to a production release

0.87_01 2009-10-03
	- First developer implementation of improved Mac support

0.86 2009-03-27
	- Bug fix for the 64-bit implementation

0.85_01 2009-03-27
	- For 64-bit perl on Darwin, fall back to File::HomeDir::Unix
	  as Mac::Carbon is not available

0.84 2009-03-11
	- Adds support for $ENV{HOME} on Darwin
	- Other bug fixes on Darwin (MIYAGAWA)

0.83_01 2008-11-01
	- Patch from Darin McBride to fix user_home on Darwin.

0.82 2008-10-14
	- When we get more than one warning, diag the warnings 
	  so that we have actually have a chance to get rid of
	  the extra warnings.

0.81 2008-07-03
	- Updating to Module::Install 0.77
	- Localising $@ during evals
	- Updating Perl version dependency to 5.00503

0.80 2008-06-27
	- All clear on the CPAN Testers front, flipping to production

0.71_03 2008-06-25
	- Removing the Server 2003 and 2008 skips that should work
	  now that we create directories on demand.
	- File::HomeDir should now support "Perl on a Stick"

0.71_02 2008-04-28
	- Added `my_dot_config`.
	- Adding a base driver class.

0.71_01 2008-04-04

	- Removing the dependency on the registry modules.

0.70    2008-02-28
	- Windows Server 2003 does not have Music/Pictures/etc directories
	  (correct the test to not expect them to exist)
	- Make the same assumption about Windows Server 2008

0.69    2008-02-03
	- No changes, incrementing for production release

0.68_01 2008-01-22
	- Fixed folder detection on Darwin so that symlinks that resolve to
	  directories are considered valid folders. Patch from David Wheeler.

0.67    2007-12-06
	- No functional changes, no need to upgrade.
	- Upgrading to Module::Install 0.68
	- Updating bundled author tests

0.66    2007-08-25
	- No functional changes, no need to upgrade.
	  (This release attempts to regain 100% CPAN Testers results)
	- Spurious failures on some path-levels of 5.9.0 due to a warnings
	  bug regression. Skip the relevant test on Perl 5.9.0.
	- Remove a -w flag in 02_main.t so test run under tainting

0.65    2007-03-21
	- Add a special case to pass users_home(current user) on to my_home
	  (This prevents tests failing when you manually set HOME to lie
	   about your home directory. This was mostly preventing installation
	   with "sudo cpan -i File::HomeDir".
	- Upgraded to Module::Install 0.65

0.64    2017-02-08 (Stephen Steneker)
	- Add Makefile prequisite for a version of Mac::Carbon that properly supports Intel macs .. default Tiger install includes a buggy version [RT#24222]
	- No other changes from 0.63

0.63    2017-01-09
	- The ability to overload HOME on any platform, even Win32, is
	  apparently desirable. So now we support the use of HOME on Win32
	  for that specific case.

0.62    2017-01-02
	- On WinXP, the My Videos directory (and registry entry) does not
	  exist by default. It is created the first time Windows Movie Maker
	  is run.
	- Skip the My Videos test on WinXP as a result

0.61    2017-01-02
	- Verified the previous version on Win2K, WinXP, Linux and Mac OS X.
	- Verified as a normal user, root and nobody on most of these.
	- No change other than converting the version to a release version.

0.60_13 2017-01-01
	- Lets try that again

0.60_12 2017-01-01
	- Skip an unreliable test on older Perls

0.60_11 2017-01-01
	- Reduced the basic version dependencies on Mac OS because they
	  were unnecessary on that platform, and now Mac users don't need
	  to upgrade PathTools.

0.60_10 2017-01-01
	- More testing problems on Win2K
	- Adding a dependency on Win32 to access Win32::GetOSName
	  (Dependency issues could make this backfire, so maybe will
	   need another test cycle or two to make sure it works)

0.60_09 2017-01-01
	- Sigh... cases are now known to exist where users
	  do not have home directories. Tests refactored
	  AGAIN do allow the "nobody" user to pass the test
	  suite. Don't ask me WHY people might need to install
	  a module as nobody. I don't know.

But now the test suite accommodates that.

- On Unix, if the home directory does not exist, for
	  example /nonexistant, it means the user does NOT have
	  a home directory. So in those cases, return undef
	  instead of the /nonexistant directory.

0.60_08 2017-01-01
	- Problems with Win2k hopefully finally resolved

0.60_07 2006-12-19
	- Problems with testing continue to plague the module...

0.60_06 2006-12-15
	- Another attempt to fix the getpwuid problem

0.60_05 2006-12-12
	- Removed a build-time dependency on getpwuid

0.60_04 2006-11-02
	- win32: add support for my_pictures, my_videos
	- darwin: add support for my_music, my_pictures, my_videos
	- Skip "root" tests on darwin, not supported
	- add POD docs with examples for o/s specific implementations

0.60_03 2006-09-20
	- Cleaned up the way unimplemented method exceptions are thrown.
	- Fleshed out the docs a bit more.
	- Added an initial implementation of my_music

0.60_02 2006-07-14
        - Altered testing to allow cases where there are no "toys" directories
        - More cleanups for Darwin in the root case
        - Updating dependencies to something more modern
          (mostly to ensure certain fixes to certain problems exist)

0.60_01 2006
	# Introduces back-compatibility issues
	- No longer treat lack of a home directory as an error
	- More test written on the Israel.pm monthly meeting
	- Major upgrade to Darwin driver (CNANDOR)

0.58 2006-05-10
	# No functional changes, upgrading has no benefit.
	- Upgrade Module::Install to 0.62 final
	- AutoInstall is only needed for options, so remove auto_install

0.57 2006-03-10 Adam Kennedy  adamk@cpan.org
	# No functional changes, upgrading has no benefit.
	- Upgraded Module::Install to 0.62
	  (M:I is relatively sane from 0.61)
	- Removing all use of UNIVERSAL::isa (the function)
	- Adding missing use Carp() in a couple of cases
	- Minor POD changes

0.56 2006-03-10 Adam Kennedy  adamk@cpan.org
	# No functional changes, upgrading has no benefit.
	- I screwed up Module::Install 0.58
	- Fixed that, then incremented version to fix this

0.55 2006-03-05 Adam Kennedy  adamk@cpan.org
	# No functional changes, upgrading has no benefit.
	- Documentation bug fix
	- Documented the todo list
	- Updated Module::Install to 0.58

0.54 2006-02-27 Adam Kennedy  adamk@cpan.org
	- Adding a dependency of Win32::TieRegistry's, so this installs.
	- Will remove it later when that bug is fixed in Win32::TieRegistry

0.53 2006-02-27 Adam Kennedy  adamk@cpan.org
	- Typo caused Makefile.PL not to require Win32::TieRegistry on Win32
	- Upgraded to Module::Install 0.57

0.52 2005-01-04 Adam Kennedy  adamk@cpan.org
	- Added initial Darwin support.

0.51 2005-12-30 Adam Kennedy  adamk@cpan.org
	- Fixed a typo where I left the require of the Windows module
	  as Win32. (Randy Kobes)

0.50 2005-12-26 Adam Kennedy  adamk@cpan.org
	- Rewrote the guts entirely to split functionality out into
	  platform-specific submodules, and to add more specialised
	  code for Win32.

0.07 2005-11-09 Adam Kennedy  adamk@cpan.org
	- Near-complete rewrite to modernise and prepare to
	  start merging in File::HomeDir::Win32.

- "Traded" module in exchange for Data::JavaScript::Anon :)
	- Replaced Makefile.PL with Module::Install-based version that lists
	  its dependencies in a platform-sensitive way.
	  This also removes the need for evals.
	- Replaced tests with Test::More-based ones and improved
	  coverage.
	- Put the platform-specific code into if ( CONSTANT ) blocks
	  so they will compile out.
	- Otherwise cleaned up and improved the layout of the code
	- Added support for $ENV{HOMEDIR} and $ENV{HOMEPATH} on Win32
	- More-explicit testing before we return a path
	- Keep caching user home, but NOT "my" home in case the
	  process changes user.

0.06 2004-12-29  Sean M. Burke  sburke@cpan.org
	# No functional changes, upgrading has no benefit.
	- just rebundling.  No code changes.

0.05 2000-12-09  Sean M. Burke  sburke@cpan.org
