   Release 0.90_01

   New README

   Makefile.PL list MIME::Base64 as PREREQ_PM

   Original $scheme argument not passed to _init() method.

   Automatically add scheme to empty URIs where the scheme
   is required:  URI->new("", "data")

   Documentation update.

   New URI::URL::strict implementation.



1998-09-22   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release 0.09_02

   New internal URI::file::* interface.  Implemented 8.3 mapping
   for "dos".

   More documentation.



1998-09-13   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release 0.09_01

   Use version number with underscore to avoid that the CPAN
   indexer hides the URI::URL from libwww-perl that contains
   all the documentation.

   Started to document the new modules.

   URI::file->new() escape fix which allow Mac file names like
   ::.. to be treated as they should (I think).



1998-09-12   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release 0.09

   Included URI::Escape and URI::Heuristic from LWP.  URI::Escape
   updated with new default set of characters to escape (according
   to RFC 2396) and a faster uri_unescape() function.  URI::Heuristic
   with new funtion that returns an URI object.

   First argument to URI->new is always treated as a string now.

   URI->new("", URI::WithBase("foo:")) now works.  It returns an
   URI::WithBase object.

   Included Roy T. Fielding's URI parsing/abs tests from
   <http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/url/>.  We did in fact agree
   with RFC 2396 on all tests.

   Allow authority "A|" in Win32 file:-URIs to denote A:.  Treat
   escaped chars.

   Configuration variables for $u->abs

   "+" and "=".
