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

## 1.2.2.0 (Mar 2015)

  * Bundled with GHC 7.10.1

  * Make `getModificationTime` support sub-second resolution on Windows

  * Fix silent failure in `createDirectoryIfMissing`

  * Replace `throw` by better defined `throwIO`s

  * [#17](https://github.com/haskell/directory/pull/17):
    Avoid stack overflow in `getDirectoryContents`

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

  * [#15](https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/15):

    circumstances

    Allow trailing path separators in `getPermissions` on Windows

  * [#8](https://github.com/haskell/directory/pull/8):
    `renameFile` now always throws the correct error type
    (`InappropriateType`) when the destination is a directory, as long as the
