Now, the root directory must not be a symbolic link.
Sorry for this, I really would have liked to allow the root directory to be a
symbolic link, but if I would allow this, Dev-Editor would not be able to create
files in the root directory. I'm looking for an alternative...

The file saving process was aborted if the user wanted to write text data using
the edit function into a file that does not exists.
The reason was that Dev-Editor thought that this non-existing file was a binary
file.

- For security reasons, I completely changed the handling of symbolic links:
Symbolic links are now treated as files, no matter where they point to. The
user is just allowed to see the path where the link points to, he is allowed
to delete the link, to rename it and to overwrite it by renaming an other
file. Nothing else is allowed.
Accessing a symbolic link pointing to a directory caused also a very strange
effect: It was possible to access this directory, but you could not access the
objects in it.
I had to do it in this way because of the very stupid behaviour of abs_path()
from the Cwd module: This function is just able to detect the absolute path of
directories.
Hard links are not affected by this, because it is not possible to detect them
(at least I don't know how to detect them).
- Changed the names of two error messages:
dircopy -> dir_copy
editdir -> dir_edit

- When composing the temporary virtual path for a new file, don't call
clean_path(). It is unnecessary and it also caused a problem if this path
would begin with /../, because on UNIX systems, canonpath() removes /../ at
the beginning of a path. So if a user wanted to create the file /../file.ext
(which he wasn't allowed to), he created /file.ext.
- file_name() and upper_path() now remove multiple trailing slashes
- Improved configuration file parser:
- Allow configuration options with empty values
- If a option is defined twice, the line number is shown in the error message
- Static values are now surrounded by single quotes. Maybe it helps to increase
the speed of Dev-Editor, because Perl doesn't have to try to interpolate
variables in the values.
