Update to 1.22:

1.22        Fri Mar  2 00:05:57 CST 2007

[INTERNALS]
Added new tests.

Added Perl::Critic changes and a perlcriticrc file.

1.21_04     Sat Oct  7 21:35:42 CDT 2006

[FIXES]
*   $mech->content( type => 'text' ) was not freeing memory.  Thanks to
    Cat Okita for finding it.

[INTERNALS]
*   Made the order of parms to $mech->content() not relevant.

1.21_03     Sat Oct  7 01:21:46 CDT 2006

[THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE]
*   The methods $mech->form() and $mech->follow() have been removed.
    They've been deprecated since 1.10, which was released in Feb 2005.

[ENHANCEMENTS]
*   I'm trying to nail down what seems to be a memory leak on long-running
    Mech programs.  I'm stringifying URI::URL objects wherever I can.

[INTERNALS]
*   No longer uses UNIVERSAL.

1.21_02     Wed Oct  4 13:14:30 CDT 2006

[ENHANCEMENTS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE]

*   The $mech->stack_depth() setting had no way to say "don't cache any
    pages at all".  How silly!

    Now, if you set $mech->stack_depth(0), no history of pages will be kept.
    In the past, it would mean "Keep all pages."  This means that if \ 
you want
    to set it to keep all pages, set it to some ridiculously large number.

[DOCUMENTATION]
*   The docs previously refered to Compress::Gzip instead of Compress::Zlib.

1.21_01 Mon Sep 18 17:18:43 CDT 2006

[ENHANCEMENTS]
*   If Compress::Zlib is installed, gzipped content is now
    accepted and transparently decoded. No additional syntax needed!
    This should save time and bandwidth in a number of cases.
    (Mark Stosberg)

*   Added a put() method.  It also calls a subfunction called
    _SUPER_put that will be removed once LWP::UserAgent supports put().

Update to 1.20:

1.20
        [ENHANCEMENTS]
        * Added new two-argument form of credentials() method.
          $mech->credentials($username, $password);
          That provides simpler visiting of password-protected
          resources in the vast majority of cases and still
          allows the other cases to be supported. (Peter Scott)

        [BUG FIXES]
        * autocheck no longer is triggered when informational
          responses are returned. (Mark Stosberg)

        [INTERNALS]
        * test suite no longer fails when Test::Warn is missing.
          (CPAN testers, Mark Stosberg)
        * Removed all the testing against live sites. The networking
          code is not actually in Mech anway, and they were prone to
          breaking, as the live sites changed. (Mark Stosberg)

1.19_02 Mon Aug  7 23:57:56 CDT 2006

        [ENHANCEMENTS]
        * Add new Do-What-I-Mean submit_form() option.
            $mech->submit_form(
                with_fields => \%data
            );
         That expresses that you want to select the first form contains all
         fields in \%data, and then submit the data to that form. See the docs
         for form_with_fields() and submit_form() for details.
         (Mark Stosberg, inspired by RT#6100)

        [BUG FIXES]
        * The behavior of clone() now copies over the cookie jar, which
          is probably what you expected it did in the first place.
          This fixes bug RT#13541 filed against Test::WWW::Mechanize,
          which was using clone() internally. (Mark Stosberg)

        * The correct URL is returned after redirecting. This a regression
          from 1.04 and was reported as RT#9059, RT#12882, and RT#12786.
          The documentation about this has also been clarified that we
          return a URI object, but that it stringifies to the URI itself.

        [DOCUMENTATION]
        * Fixed a misleading parm in the constructor.
        * Document the return value of set_visible (RT#6071, MJD,
          Mark Stosberg)
        * Document that form_name and form_number return an HTML::Form
          object (Mark Stosberg)

        [INTERNALS]
        * Made lots of little cleanups based on Perl::Critic
        * Fix Taint-mode warnings with Perl 5.6.1 (RT#16945)

Update to 1.18:

1.18    Thu Feb  2 00:11:26 CST 2006
        [TESTS]
        * Makefile.PL now takes four new parms:
            * --live/nolive turns on/off the live tests
            * --local/nolocal turns on/off the local tests
            * --mech-dump/nomech-dump installs/doesn't the mech-dump program
            * --all turns on all tests and installs mech-dump

        * Fixed some failures in tests.  Non-existent URLs now have a
          "." postpended to them, so if someone's got a search domain
          with a wildcard (i.e. ignore.us) it'll ignore that.  Also,
          Google's second link is now a https:// link, which some Mechs
          can't handle.  Added a 'url_regex' which now makes it look at
          the second non-https link.  Thanks to Pete Krawczyk.

Update to 1.16:

1.16    Fri Oct 28 17:34:20 CDT 2005
        [ENHANCEMENTS]
        * Sped up Mech significantly (~20% in some cases).  Images and
          links are extracted from the HTML, and objects are created,
          only when they're actually needed.  This will be a speedup for
          pages where you're only following links, or vice versa.

        [THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE]
        * If you've been relying on the $mech->{images} and $mech->{links}
          fields being populated so that you can bypass the $mech->images()
          and $mech->links() accessors, your code will break.  That's OK,
          because you should have been using the accessors all along.

1.14    Tue Aug 30 17:17:40 CDT 2005
        [DOCUMENTATION]
        * Added lots of new FAQs.  Thanks to Peter Stevens.

        [INTERNALS]
        * Now requires Test::LongString.  That's not too odious.

        [FIXES]
        * Tests now pass with the shuffling around that Google did.

1.13_01 Tue Apr 12 14:11:18 CDT 2005
        [ENHANCEMENTS]
        * Now dies if you call submit_form() with a non-existsing
          form_number or form_name.  Before, it would just warn.

        [DOCUMENTATION]
        * Added an example of using credentials() in the cookbook.

Log message:
Bump the PKGREVISIONs of all (638) packages that hardcode the locations
of Perl files to deal with the perl-5.8.7 update that moved all
pkgsrc-installed Perl files into the "vendor" directories.

Log message:
Turn PERL5_PACKLIST into a relative path instead of an absolute path.
These paths are now relative to PERL5_PACKLIST_DIR, which currently
defaults to ${PERL5_SITEARCH}.  There is no change to the binary
packages.

Log message:
Remove USE_BUILDLINK3 and NO_BUILDLINK; these are no longer used.

Log message:
Update to 1.12:

1.12    Thu Feb 24 23:38:44 CST 2005
        [FIXES]
        * Fixed RT #9026: hang in t/local/back.t under Windows XP.
          Thanks Andrew Savige.  It also should no longer complain
          about being unable to clean up a temp file.

1.11_01 Mon Feb 14 00:12:48 CST 2005
        [THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE]
        * Removed deprecated _parse_html() method.

        [FIXES]
        * Was incorrectly looking for INPUT tags TYPE="SUBMIT" as images.
          Thanks to Abe Timmerman.

        [ENHANCEMENTS]
        * Calling $mech->set_fields() with no current form now dies.
          Thanks to Julien Beasley.

Log message:
Add RMD160 checksums.

Log message:
Update to 1.10:

1.10
        [FIXES]
        * Fixed bug where images inside of links would not be found.

        * Fixed test failures because of Google changes.  Thanks to
          Offer Kaye and others who sent in patches.

        [DOCUMENTATION]
        * More samples in the FAQ.  Thanks to Joshua Gatcomb.

        [INTERNALS]
        * Added explanation of running live tests against Google in Makefile.PL.

1.08    Fri Dec 24 01:01:06 CST 2004
        [ENHANCEMENTS]
        * Added find_image() and find_all_images().

1.06    Wed Dec  8 14:58:39 CST 2004
        [INTERNALS]
        * Now uses the base pragma instead of setting @ISA.

1.05_04 Fri Nov  5 23:35:38 CST 2004
        [ENHANCEMENTS]
        * Added WWW::Mechanize::Image object for representing images.
        * Improved the regex on the URL for META tags.
        * Added --images flag to mech-dump.

        [FIXES]
        * When parsing urls out of meta refresh tags, "url" may now be
          uppercase (RT#8230)

        * Behavior of back() fixed in a number of cases (RT#8109  reported by
          Josh Purinton, patched by Dominique Quatravaux)

        [INTERNALS]
        * Mark figured out to how to prevent his text editor from putting tabs
          into the code. Andy's blood pressure dropped slightly.

1.05_03 Sun Oct 31 20:54:33 CST 2004

        [ENHANCEMENTS]
        * click_button() has a new input option for HTML::Form::SubmitInput
          objects (DOMQ)

        * content() has new options to return the page formatted
          as text, with a <base href> added. (RT#8087, patch by
          Dominique Quatravaux)

        * update_html() method has been added, which can be used
          to modify the HTML that Mech parses. It should be sub-classed
          instead of _parse_html(), which has been deprecated.
          (RT#8087, patch by Dominique Quatravaux)

        * select() has new option to select an option by number
          (RT#5789, Scott Lanning)

        * WWW::Mechanize::Link now has support providing all the
          attributes of the link through a new attrs() method, which
          returns them as a hashref. This is a replacement for the
          alt() method, added in 1.05_01. It's not backwards
          compatible with that, but, hey, that's what developer
          releases are for. (RT#8092, Rob Casey and Mark Stosberg)

        [FIXES]
        * Upload <input type="file" ... > does not use the default
          value to prevent attacks, patch by Jan Pazdziora (RT #7843).

        [INTERNALS]
        * Improved tests and documentation for select() (RT#5789,
          Scott Lanning)

        * Improve taint-safeness on Perl 5.6.1 (RT#8042, patch by
          Dominique Quatravaux)

        * Added tests for click_button() (RT#8061, by Dominique
          Quatravaux)

        * Require URI 1.25, fixing bug which exposed itself in
          WWW::Mechanize (RT#3048)

        * Move select() to better location in docs. Document and
          test the return values.  The return value is now "1" on
          success instead of the undocumented behavior of returning
          a form value. (RT#6138, spotted by MJD, patched by Mark
          Stosberg)

        * Possible matching tags for the find_link() 'tag_regex'
          attribute are now documented. (RT#2989, by Mark Stosberg)

        * refactored find_link() to avoid use of eval(). This should
          improve performance a bit and avoid potential security
          issues. (Mark Stosberg)

1.05_02 Sat Oct  2 16:55:59 CDT 2004
        [ENHANCEMENTS]
        * Added the $mech->save_content( $filename ) function, so you
          can dump stuff to files easily.

1.05_01 Thu Sep 30 21:04:44 CDT 2004

        [FIXES]
        * set_visible() doesn't stop setting values when it finds a zero.

        [ENHANCEMENTS]
        * WWW::Mechanize::Link has a new, easier to remember constructor
          interface. The old one is still supported. Support for including
          an 'alt' attribute was added, which is useful for <area> links.
          (RT #3317). Thanks to Mark Stosberg.

        * When links are extracted from <area> tags, the ALT attribute will
          be captured and become part of the WWW::Mechanize::Link object.
          (RT #3317). Patch by Mark Stosberg.

        [INTERNALS]
        * t/mech-dump.t is now more portable (RT #7690)

        * t/local/follow.t has new tests to confirm that 'follow*' functions
          work with characters like o-umlaut, even when the o-umlaut is
          encoded in the HTML, but not in the call to follow(). (RT #2416)
          By Mark Stosberg.
