Changelog for the [`directory`][1] package
==========================================

## 1.3.0.2 (February 2017)

  * [optimization] Increase internal buffer size of `copyFile`
    ([#69](https://github.com/haskell/directory/pull/69))

  * Relax `time` version bounds to support 1.8.

## 1.3.0.1 (January 2017)

  * Relax `Win32` version bounds to support 2.5.
    ([#67](https://github.com/haskell/directory/pull/67))

## 1.3.0.0 (December 2016)

  * **[breaking]** Drop trailing slashes in `canonicalizePath`
    ([#63](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/63))

  * **[deprecation]** Rename `isSymbolicLink` to `pathIsSymbolicLink`.  The
    old name will remain available but may be removed in the next major
    release.
    ([#52](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/52))

  * Changed `canonicalizePath` to dereference symbolic links even if it points
    to a file and is not the last path segment

  * On Windows, `canonicalizePath` now canonicalizes the letter case too

  * On Windows, `canonicalizePath` now also dereferences symbolic links

  * When exceptions are thrown, the error location will now contain additional
    information about the internal function(s) used.

## 1.2.7.1 (November 2016)

    In addition, keep going even if an exception occurs.
    ([#60](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/60))

    are no longer available.
    ([#50](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/50))

  * Add `doesPathExist` and `getFileSize`
    ([#57](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/57))

  * Add `renamePath`
    ([#58](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/58))

  * Add `removePathForcibly`
    ([#59](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/59))

## 1.2.6.2 (April 2016)

  * Bundled with GHC 8.0.1

    version of `unix` package is lower than 2.7.0.0

## 1.2.6.1 (April 2016)

  * Fix mistake in file time functions when `utimensat` is not available
    ([#47](https://github.com/haskell/directory/pull/47))

## 1.2.6.0 (April 2016)

  * Make `findExecutable`, `findExecutables`, `findExecutablesInDirectories`,
    `findFile`, and `findFilesWith` lazier
    ([#43](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/43))

  * Add `findFileWith`

  * Add `copyFileWithMetadata`, which copies additional metadata
    ([#40](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/40))

  * Improve error message of `removeDirectoryRecursive` when used on a
    directory symbolic link on Windows.

  * Add `isSymbolicLink`

  * Drop support for Hugs.

## 1.2.5.1 (February 2016)

  * Improve error message of `getCurrentDirectory` when the current working
    directory no longer exists
    ([#39](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/39))

  * Fix the behavior of trailing path separators in `canonicalizePath` as well
    as `makeAbsolute` when applied to the current directory; they should now
    match the behavior of `canonicalizePath` prior to 1.2.3.0 (when the bug
    was introduced)
    ([#42](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/42))

  * Set the location in IO errors from `makeAbsolute`.

## 1.2.5.0 (December 2015)

  * Add `listDirectory`, which is similar to `getDirectoryContents`
    but omits `.` and `..`
    ([#36](https://github.com/haskell/directory/pull/36))

  * Remove support for `--with-cc=` in `configure`; use the `CC=` flag instead
    ([ghc:D1608](https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1608))

    ([#13](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/13))

  * Implement `getAccessTime` and `setAccessTime`

  * Set the filename in IO errors from the file time functions

  * Fix `canonicalizePath` so that it always returns a reasonable result even
    if the path is inaccessible and will not throw exceptions unless the
    current directory cannot be obtained
    ([#23](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/23))

  * Corrected the trailing slash behavior of `makeAbsolute`
    so that `makeAbsolute "" == makeAbsolute "."`

  * Expose `findExecutables`
    ([#14](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/14))

  * `removeDirectoryRecursive` no longer follows symlinks under any
    circumstances
    ([#15](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/15))

  * Allow trailing path separators in `getPermissions` on Windows
    ([#9](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/9))

  * `renameFile` now always throws the correct error type
    (`InappropriateType`) when the destination is a directory, as long as the
    filesystem is not being modified concurrently
    ([#8](https://github.com/haskell/directory/pull/8))

  * Add `makeAbsolute`, which should be preferred over `canonicalizePath`
    unless one requires symbolic links to be resolved

## 1.2.1.0 (Mar 2014)
