	the new MemoryStreamTest.

2003-03-05  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	SetCreationTime, SetLastAccessTime and SetLastWriteTime.

2003-02-26  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* 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'

	* FileStream.cs: Don't close the handle if the stream doesn't own
	it.  Patch from Raymond Penners ([email protected]), bug

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

2003-01-31  Patrik Torstensson

	the same way as MS does it (performance improvement)

2003-01-29  Zoltan Varga  <[email protected]>

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

	* MemoryStream.cs: fixed bug #36319.

2002-12-16  Eduardo Garcia Cebollero <[email protected]>
	
	* 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 <[email protected]>

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

2002-12-11  Eduardo Garcia Cebollero <[email protected]>

	too, not only with relative ones.

2002-12-07  Peter Williams  <[email protected]>

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

2002-10-31  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* 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:

	is what .NET does.

2002-10-23  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* 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 <[email protected]>

	\n (this is what MS does).

2002-10-18  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

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

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

2002-10-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

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

2002-09-16  Miguel de Icaza  <[email protected]>

	* 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  <[email protected]>

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

2002-09-15  Miguel de Icaza  <[email protected]>

	* 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  <[email protected]>

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

2002-09-06  Miguel de Icaza  <[email protected]>

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

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

	that we own the filename.

2002-08-23  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* FileLoadException.cs: implemented ToString.

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

2002-08-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* FileNotFoundException.cs: use Message and InnerException from base
	class. Changed Message and ToString ().

2002-08-19  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* StringWriter.cs: Return UnicodeEncoding for Encoding property.

2002-08-03  Jason Diamond  <[email protected]>

	to ensure the buffer is flushed.

2002-05-15  Nick Drochak  <[email protected]>

	* Path.cs (GetDirectoryName): Return String.Empty if there is no
	directory

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

2002-05-03  Nick Drochak  <[email protected]>

	* MemoryStream.cs: Refrain from allocating array until the space is

	* 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.

	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  <[email protected]>

	* EndOfStreamException.cs:
	* FileLoadException.cs:

Thu Jan 10 12:06:46 MST 2002 Matt Kimball <[email protected]>

	* BufferedStream.cs: Initial implemenation.  The synchronous
	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 <[email protected]>

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

	Ditto.

2001-12-11  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	Added Handle property.

Wed Nov 14 16:47:47 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <[email protected]>

	* CheckPermission.cs: disable ModeAccess() code: it's wrong.

2001-07-19  Marcin Szczepanski <[email protected]>

	* 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 <[email protected]>

	* StringReader.cs, StringWriter.cs, TextReader.cs, TextWriter.cs:
	New class implemenations.
