2011-03-27  Release 6.02

This is the release where we try to help the CPAN-toolchain be able to install
the modules required for https-support in LWP.  We have done this by unbundling
the LWP::Protocol::https module from the libwww-perl distribution.  In order to
have https support you now need to install (or depend on) 'LWP::Protocol::https'
and then this will make sure that all the prerequsite modules comes along.
See [RT#66838].

This release also removes the old http10 modules that has really been
deprecated since v5.60.  These should have been removed at the v6.00 jump, but
I forgot.

Christopher J. Madsen (1):
      Ignores env variables when ssl_opts provided [RT#66663]

Gisle Aas (4):
      Fix typo; Authen::NTLM [RT#66884]

Yury Zavarin (1):
      Support LWP::ConnCache->new(total_capacity => undef)

2011-03-08  Release 6.00

Unbundled all modules not in the LWP:: namespace from the libwww-perl
distribution.  The new broken out CPAN distribtions are File-Listing,
HTML-Form, HTTP-Cookies, HTTP-Daemon, HTTP-Date, HTTP-Message, HTTP-Negotiate,
Net-HTTP, and WWW-RobotRules.  libwww-perl-6 require these to be installed.

This release also drops the unmaintained lwp-rget script from the distribution.

Perl v5.8.8 or better is now required.  For older versions of perl please stay
with libwww-perl-5.837.

For https://... default to verified connections with require IO::Socket::SSL
and Mozilla::CA modules to be installed.  Old behaviour can be requested by
setting the PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME environment variable to 0.  The
LWP::UserAgent got new ssl_opts method to control this as well.

Support internationalized URLs from command line scripts and in the proxy
environment variables.

The lwp-dump script got new --request option.

The lwp-request script got new -E option, contributed by Tony Finch.

Protocol handlers and callbacks can raise HTTP::Response objects as exceptions.
--- snip ---
This will abort the current request and make LWP return the raised response.
