2004-06-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * BufferedStream.cs: fixed typo that prevented Read() from working.

        disabled, create a buffer of one byte, to be used in ReadByte.  This
        fixes bug #52361.

2004-03-25  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        OS native libraries if available.

        * FileStreamAsyncResult.cs: IAsyncResult for asynch. I/O.

        * FileStream.cs: Throw some more exceptions for invalid
        params. Fixes some unit test failures.
        * BufferedStream.cs: If the stream is closed (can't read from it

2004-01-18 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * FileStream.cs: Locking from bug #32344 removed. This is not
        necessary because the correct fix was actually in the console.
        This fixes bug #53026. Miguel de Icaza reviewed/approved this
        patch.

2004-01-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        GetFileType so finalizer doesn't see bad handles and
        initialize this.handle to InvalidHandle

2003-12-19  Bernie Solomon  <bernard@ugsolutions.com>

        * MonoIO.cs: SetFileTime() Failed Open returns InvalidHandle

        * MemoryStream.cs: fixed bug #46060. Thanks to Carlos Barcenilla.

2003-06-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * FileStream.cs (Dispose): Flush the buffer even if we don't own the
        handle.
        * FileStream.cs: Add a new constructor parameter to turn off buffering.
        This is used by the Console.OpenStandard...() methods. Also fix
        argument checking in InitBuffer(), so a zero buffer size is also 
        rejected.

2003-06-27  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Stream.cs: use async.delegate invoke 

2003-06-18  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * FileSystemInfo.cs: Refresh cache when changeing file times.

2003-06-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * FileStream.cs: Fix errors in previous checkins:
        (Write): Only take the shortcut route if the data is longer than the
        buffer length.
        (Write): Flush the buffer before writing out the new data
        (Write): Flush the buffer after writing out a segment since otherwise
        we will go into an infinite loop.
        (FlushBuffer): Remove my last change since it was clearly wrong.
        (Seek): Run FlushBuffer () after the in-buffer seek optimization.
        (Seek): Only use the in-buffer optimization if the buffer is not
        empty.
        (Length): Call FlushBuffer () since buffer data might change the size
        of the stream.

2003-06-09  Ville Palo <vi64pa@kolumbus.fi>

        * FileStream.cs:
        - removed unusefull bugfix (DirectoryNotFoundException)
        - Flush before seek.
        
2003-06-09  Ville Palo <vi64pa@kolumbus.fi>

        * FileStream.cs: Check buffer size before append/read -exceptios

        * FileStream.cs: Does not anymore flush while writing
        
2003-06-02  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * FileInfo.cs (MoveTo): Throw exceptions when dest exists, and check
        for null too.

2003-05-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * BinaryReader.cs: Stream don't need to be seekable to use PeekChar.

2003-05-23  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Path.cs: fixed bug #42631.

2003-05-22  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        Fix 'destination is a directory' test.

2003-05-21  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * StringWriter.cs: Fixed bug #43431: "StringWriter
        .ctor(CultureInfo) does not create a new StringBuilder ()"

2003-05-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * FileStream.cs (FlushBuffer): After a flush, the buffer is
        advanced by buf_offset bytes, not buf_length bytes.

2003-05-16  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * MonoIO.cs: Implement GetTempPath

2003-05-14  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * DirectoryInfo.cs: fixed bug #42991.
        * Path.cs:
        (CanonicalizePath): store the value of the trimmed input string. Make it
        work with paths such as "/home/xxx/.".

2003-05-08  Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
        * Path.cs 
        (CanonicalizePath) Fixed bug #42631, which duplicated the
        root part of the path under Windows.

2003-05-08  Ville Palo <vi64pa@kolumbus.fi>

        * FileSystemInfo.cs: Added 1.1 properties LastAccessTimeUtc, 
        LastWriteTimeUtc and CreationTimeUtc
        
2003-05-07  Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        (GetPathRoot) Added support for UNC paths.
        (CanonicalizePath) Added optimizations per Miguel's requests.

2003-05-06  Ville Palo <vi64pa@kolumbus.fi>

        * BufferedStream.cs: 
          - Removed unusefull code.
          - Added ObjectDisposedException to Position
          - Dont flush if stream is allready closed.
          - Flush throws also ObjectDisposedException.
        * Directory.cs:
          - GetFileSystemEtries: ArgumentNullException if pattern is null
        * DirectoryInfo.cs: Fixed little MoveTo () bug.
        * FileInfo.cs:
          - Exists: If file does not exists when instance is created the
          value of the Exists property does not change even if file is created
          afterwards.
          - Delete: If path is a directory UnauthorizedException is thrown.
          - CopyTo: Now we can overwrite file if wanted.
        * Path.cs: 
          - GetFullPath: Now throws exception when path is "   ".
        
2003-05-04  Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
        * Directory.cs (GetLogicalDrives) Marked as MonoTODO
        because we need to implement the method on Windows.
        * Path.cs 
        (CanonicalizePath) Added new function to get
        rid of . and .. in path names. Need to figure out what
        other functions should call this.
        (GetFullPath) Added call to the above function.
        
2003-05-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * StreamReader.cs:
        (.ctor): fixed parameters passed to FileNotFoundException.

2003-04-25  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * BinaryReader.cs (Read): make sure the buffer is big enough (fix
        bug # 40702)

2003-04-24  Pedro Martinez Julia  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * BufferedStream.cs: Test if it's possible to seek in a Stream
        before access to Position. This prevents the exception thrown when
        the stream is System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.

2003-04-22  Ville Palo <vi64pa@kolumbus.fi>

        * Directory.cs: clean up --> performance improvment. Some exceptions
        are now checked in File.cs.

2003-04-20  Igor Nosyryev <nosyryev@attbi.com>

        * StringReader.cs (Read): Increment nextChar by charsToRead
        instead of count, that will guarantee that the next time the
        method is called, it will return 0 on an empty string rather than
        throwing an exception

2003-04-19  Ville Palo <vi64pa@kolumbus.fi>

        * BufferedStream.cs: Some fixes, mostly throwing exceptions.
        * MemoryStream.cs: Changed the order of exception checking

2003-04-13  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs: fixed the windows build. This is an mcs bug. I'll
        fill a bug report.

2003-04-11  Ville Palo <vi64pa@kolumbus.fi>

        * StringReader.cs: Throws exceptions if constructor parameter is null.
        
2003-04-11  Ville Palo <vi64pa@kolumbus.fi>

        * StringWriter.cs: Now throws an exception if StringBuilder parameter
        is null
        
2003-04-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * TextWriter.cs: Implemented Synchronized method.

        * TextReader.cs: Implemented Synchronized method.

2003-04-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs (Read, ReadByte, Seek): throw
        ObjectDisposedException if the handle has been released.
        
        (Read): Throw exceptions specified in the spec.

        (Read, Write, ReadSegment, WriteSegment): There is no requirement for any
        instance methods of FileStream to be thread safe, so remove all
        the calls to lock on the object

2003-03-31  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Path.cs (GetDirectoryName): Throw proper execption when path is empty.

2003-03-20  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ideary.com>

        * FileNotFoundException.cs: fixed serialization bug.

2003-03-18  Atsushi Enomoto <ginga@kit.hi-ho.ne.jp>

        * StreamReader.cs: fixed bug #39280.

2003-03-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Directory.cs: readded mkdir -p behavior. Thanks to kiwnix for
        pointing it out.

2003-03-05  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MemoryStream.cs: general fixes and reformatted. Passes all tests in
        the new MemoryStreamTest.

2003-03-05  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MemoryStream.cs: undo my bogus fix in ToArray. Allow GetBuffer and
        ToArray even after closing the stream.

2003-03-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Directory.cs:
        (Move): don't use File.Move.
        * DirectoryInfo.cs: fixed Name property.
        
        Fixes bug #37755.

2003-03-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * DirectoryInfo.cs: changed ToString to match MS behavior.
        * Path.cs: further fixes to GetDirectoryName to return null in the
        same cases that MS does.

        unix/windows/unc shares code paths.

2003-02-27  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * File.cs: fix by Elan Feingold <efeingold@mn.rr.com> for
        SetCreationTime, SetLastAccessTime and SetLastWriteTime.

2003-02-26  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MemoryStream.cs:
        (ToArray): return only the portion of the buffer that contains
        data, not the whole buffer. (note: this makes XmlDocument.Load work
        again with documents that have a <?xml without the 'encoding'
        attribute, which makes gtk-sharp generator work again).

2003-02-25  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * File.cs (GetCreationTime): Throw proper execption when path is not
        found.

Tue Feb 25 11:55:35 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        incrementally expanded.

2003-02-21  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs: Use locks around buffer manipulations.  Fixes bug
        32344

2003-02-18  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs: Make FileMode.Append work, and check for Seeking
        back over old data (undocumented ms behaviour, throws an exception
        if you try).  Fixes bug 35975.

2003-02-17  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs: Don't close the handle if the stream doesn't own
        it.  Patch from Raymond Penners (raymond@dotsphinx.com), bug
        35623.

2003-02-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * FileStream.cs (Write): flush after writing the last segment as well.

2003-02-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * StringReader.cs:
        (ReadLine): fixed the case when the string ends with a '\n'.

2003-02-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MemoryStream.cs: create the buffer of the specified capacity.

2003-01-31  Patrik Torstensson

        * MemoryStream.cs: use BlockCopyInternal instead of Array.Copy, this is
        the same way as MS does it (performance improvement)

2003-01-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Directory.cs (GetFileSystemEntries): moved error handling to the
        correct instance of GetFileSystemEntries so all callers can enjoy it.

2003-01-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * File.cs: add error handling to Get...Time methods.

2003-01-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Directory.cs: fix GetParent so it actually works.

2003-01-24  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Path.cs: fixlet to ChangeExtension for the case when the path is
        empty.

2003-01-23  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * BufferedStream.cs: don't try to write a 0 sized array on when
        flushing the stream.
        
        Fixes bug #37045.

2003-01-18  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

        * FileStream.cs: Add IsAsync property.  (Documented in "C# In A Nutshell".)

2003-01-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MemoryStream.cs: fixed bug #36319.

2002-12-16  Eduardo Garcia Cebollero <kiwnix@yahoo.es>
        
        * Directory.cs: Some fixes to SMB shares handling, and not compiling 
        with csc, mcs compiles it correctly (mcs bug 35652)

2002-12-14  Eduardo Garcia Cebollero <kiwnix@yahoo.es>

        * Directory.cs: Some fixes related to correct some exceptions thrown

2002-12-11  Eduardo Garcia Cebollero <kiwnix@yahoo.es>

        * Directory.cs: Some Exceptions added, fixed GetParent(),
        CreateDirectory() should work with unix, native windows and
        windows samba shares. Converted end-lines from dos-mode to unix-mode

2002-12-08  Eduardo Garcia Cebollero <kiwnix@yahoo.es>

        * Directory.cs: CreateDirectory  works now with Absolute paths
        too, not only with relative ones.

2002-12-07  Peter Williams  <peterw@ximian.com>

        * Directory.cs: Don't use the uninitialized pathsumm here.
        Don't try and create "" if we're using an absolute path.

2002-12-07  Eduardo Garcia Cebollero <kiwnix@yahoo.es>

        * Directory.cs: Now the creation of a new directory works recursively
        it will make parents as needed.

2002-11-21  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * BufferedStream.cs: applied patch from <carlosga@telefonica.net> that
        fixes Flush ().

Tue Nov 19 13:01:22 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * StreamWriter.cs: output the encoding preamble at the start of a
        stream if needed.

2002-11-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * StreamReader.cs: Changed all Encoding.UTF8 to Encoding.UTF8Unmarked.

2002-11-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * StreamWriter.cs: Changed all Encoding.UTF8 to Encoding.UTF8Unmarked.

2002-10-31  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs: Fix buffering properly this time.  Also kludge
        around broken pipe errors, treating them as EOF instead of
        throwing an IO exception.

        * MonoIO.cs: Return the error status in a parameter, as the
        GetLastError() value has long since been blown away if we try and
        look it up in a subsequent internal call invocation.

        * FileSystemInfo.cs: 
        * FileInfo.cs: 
        * File.cs: 
        * Directory.cs: MonoIO methods now have an error parameter

2002-10-31  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TextReader.cs: implemented ReadBlock ().

2002-10-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * StreamWriter.cs: Ditto for Null stream.

        * BinaryReader.cs: Use Unmarked here too.

        * BinaryWriter.cs: Use the UTF8Unmarker encoding by default, this
        is what .NET does.

2002-10-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs: Implemented CanSeek, and used it around all the
        calls to MonoIO.Seek.  Fixed buffering in Read() so that it
        doesn't block forever on short reads.

        * MonoFileType.cs: New enum for GetFileType
        
        * MonoIO.cs: Added GetFileType

2002-10-21  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * StreamReader.cs: ReadLine now treats a \r not followed by a \n as a
        \n (this is what MS does).

2002-10-18  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs: SeekOrigin.End still calculates the offset from
        the end of the file with positive values extending the length.
        Fixes bug 32471.

2002-10-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Path.cs: some cleanup. Thanks to Martin Aliger.

2002-10-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs: throw an exception if trying to open a directory.
        Thanks to Martin Aliger.

2002-10-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Path.cs: fixes bug #28046.

2002-09-27  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * StreamReader.cs: give more information when wrong parameters passed.

2002-09-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs: Do not call FSync on the file.

2002-09-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * TextWriter.cs (Null): The Null field should be an instance of a
        TextWriter class that does nothing, so it is an instance of the
        NullTextWriter class.

2002-09-16  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * MemoryStream.cs (Close): Don't throw an exception if the stream
        is already closed.

2002-09-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * FileStream.cs (Dispose): Call FlushBuffer(), and not Flush, as
        Flush calls fsync().  

        The API docs show no explicit mention that Flush() should even do
        an fsync, I am thinking that we should drop that from the
        runtime. 

2002-09-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * StreamWriter.cs: When no encoding is provided, create an
        encoding without markers, this is what MS does.

2002-09-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * StreamReader.cs: Implement detection of byte marks and skipping
        of byte marks at the beginning of the stream.

        (ReadToEnd): Use buffered read instead of char-by-char
        processing. 

        Correct the default arguments for creating the StreamReader.

2002-08-29  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * CheckArgument.cs: fixed check for empty string.
        * Path.cs: various fixes. It passes all the tests in new PathTest.

2002-08-29  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * StreamWriter.cs: Set DisposedAlready after calling flush. Fixes
        the build for gtk#.

2002-08-27  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * BinaryReader.cs:
        * BinaryWriter.cs:
        * MemoryStream.cs:
        * StreamReader.cs:
        * StreamWriter.cs:
        * StringReader.cs:
        * StringWriter.cs:
        * TextWriter.cs: IDisposable fixes.

2002-08-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * StreamReader.cs: Removed TODOs, as the code seems to be
        complete. 

        * Path.cs (GetTempFileName): Make this routine atomic by not
        testing and then creating, but using the create call to ensure
        that we own the filename.

        paths contains a colon, as this is a valid part of an identifier
        on Unix.

        Everywhere: The String.Empty return from GetDirectoryName means
        that there is no directory information about the path.

2002-08-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

2002-07-02  Mike Kestner  <mkestner@speakeasy.net>

        * StreamReader.cs: Revert the last Peek change and fix the ReadLine
        end of line detection code instead.

2002-07-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * StreamReader.cs:
        (Peek): no need to have seek capabilitites.

        * Stream.cs: NullStream.ReadByte now returns -1 instead of 0 to
        prevent endless loops.

2002-05-17  Dan Lewis  <dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk>

        * FileStream.cs: Enforce lower bound on buffer size.

        * File.cs (Delete): Do not throw an exception if the file does not
        exist.

2002-05-08  Mike Gray     <mikeg@mikegray.org>

        use new internal class since null cannot be passed to constructor 
        anymore. Also, fix a coule of small bugs.

2002-05-03  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * MemoryStream.cs: Refrain from allocating array until the space is
        really needed. This fixes a bug in the Length property when the
        constructor without the byte array is used.

        * BinaryReader.cs: Allocate buffer before its first use.
        Handle end of stream properly. Methods to read native types
        (ReadInt* etc.) are little-endian (see Compact Framework docs).

        * BinaryWriter.cs: Store data in little-endian format.
        Use internal buffer for conversions.

2002-03-31  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

2002-03-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * StreamWriter.cs (StreamWriter (string)): The default is to override
        the file, not to append to it.
        (StreamWriter (string path, bool append)): When appending, seek to the
        end of the file, otherwise truncate the file to zero length.
        (Dispose (bool)): Close the internalStream.
        (Flush): Flush the interalStream.
        (Write (char[], int, int)): Flush the internalStream in auto-flush-mode.

2002-03-19  Dan Lewis <dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk>

        * FileStream.cs: Flush buffer before FileSetLength.

2002-02-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Stream.cs (NullStream): Do not track position, this beast does
        nothing in practice.

2002-03-15  Dan Lewis <dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk>

        * SearchPattern.cs: New class. Glob matching code for Directory.
        * Directory.cs: Changed to use SearchPattern instead of mono_glob_*()

2002/03/15 Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * DirectoryInfo.cs: Fixed the overloaded GetDirectories and GetFiles.
        This code seemed to be copied from somewhere, and it was close,
        but didn't match the docs.  This was the last bit needed to get
        NAnt to compile with our class libs.

2002-03-12  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * EndOfStreamException.cs:

2002-03-07  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * FileMode.cs: Docs don't say this should be explicitly derived from
        int, so just make it a normal Enum.

2002-03-02  Jason Diamond  <jason@injektilo.org>

        * StringReader.cs: Fixed off-by-one error in Peek() and Read().

2002-02-12  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        (GetFileSystemEntries): Implement.
        (GetFiles): Implement.

        methods for both reading and writing are implemented.  I'll do the
        asynchronous methods in a bit.
        
Wed Jan  9 16:04:39 MST 2002 Matt Kimball <matt@kimball.net>

        * BinaryWriter.cs: Initial implementation.  And it's all there.

        not UTF8 always.

Wed Jan  9 13:54:28 MST 2002 Matt Kimball <matt@kimbal.net>

        * BinaryReader.cs: Initial implementation.  I think it's complete.

2002-01-04  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * CheckArgument.cs, CheckPermission.cs, Directory.cs: MonoTODO
        attribute decorations.

        * System.IO.MemoryStream.cs: Added.  Had quite a few cases of
        "LAMESPEC", but the tests work against the MS implementation so
        the major functions are right (ie. Read/Write/Seek).  Some more
        tests required for the various constructors and exceptions.

2001-07-16  Marcin Szczepanski <marcins@zipworld.com.au>

        * StringReader.cs, StringWriter.cs, TextReader.cs, TextWriter.cs:
