0.37  (2011/06/25)
    (ms) [rt.cpan.org #68095] Applied fix by Kai von Thadden for
         tap's raise_error option and added test case.

0.36  (2011/05/01)
    (ms) Added owner_cp() to copy uid and gid of a file or directory.
    (ms) Added raise_error option for tap()
    (ms) snip() now returns original string (with unprintables replaced) 
         if the data length is shorter than $maxlen.

0.35  (2010/04/13)
    (ms) [RT 54885] Merged with github fork by Thomas Lenz, fixing 
         blurt_atomic on Win32.

0.33 (2009/09/12)
    (ms) utf8_available() now uses eval"" to check for Encode module, 
         Sysadm::Install therefore no longer requires Encode to be installed.
    (ms) Got rid of LWP::Simple because of its env_proxy() call at 
         compile time, which freaks out on env variables like "use_proxy"
         when set to numeric values. Using LWP::UserAgent instead.

0.32 2009/08/28
    (ms) Made utf8 handling configurable instead of sneaky capability
         detection, after all, there's apps using different encodings.

0.31 2009/08/27
    (ms) nhandler(at)ubuntu.com provided a patch to resolve pod2man errors:
         https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=47525

    (ms) added utf8_available() and is_utf8_data()

0.29 2009/06/25
    (ms) Greg Olszewski added proper error handling to print and 
         pipe statements
    (ms) Fixed up some "if $dir" cases to protect against a 
         value of "0" in $dir.
    (ms) Fixed up logcroak calls to use the current logger instead of 
         the root logg

0.28 2009/05/11
    (ms) Skipping fs_read_open test case if there's no cpio on 
         the target system (reported for armv5tejl-linux).
    (ms) Fixed download() with a better check for getstore(), 
         suggested by Bernhard Minks.

0.27 2008/03/26
    (ms) Fixes a broken CPAN upload.

0.26 2008/03/25
    (ms) Added rc/stdout/stderr debug output to tap()
    (ms) Added perm_get/set to export list
    (ms) Added shell escapes for tap()

0.25 2008/02/07
    (ms) Fixed directory stack bug in cdback()

0.24 2007/10/24
    (ms) Added def_or() function to emulate the //= operator
    (ms) Added blurt_atomic() to write data to a file, guaranteeing that
         the operation either fully succeeds or fails. It makes sure that
         we're not left with a partially written file in case the
         operation gets interrupted.
    (ms) fixed password_read() documentation bug

0.23 2007/04/01
    (ms) Added nice_time() and password_read().

         single quotes in a shell-compatible way.

0.22 2006/09/19
    (ms) Skipping Archive::Tar tests if A:T isn't installed

0.21 2006/02/02
    (ms) Added log messages to cp, mv, download, make.
    (ms) untar() and untar_in() now pass the cwd value to
         Archive::Tar's extract function to avoid excessive
         and expensive cwd() calls (thanks to Greg Olszewski
         for finding this performance bottleneck).

0.20 2005/08/13
    (ms) Requiring Log4perl-1.00 now to avoid a problem with the
         test suite.

0.19 2005/07/28
    (ms) Greg Olszewski reported a bug in untar_in() with tarfiles
         on relative paths, fixed by using one-argument version of
         rel2abs.

0.18 2005/07/14
    (ms) Requiring File::Temp 0.16 now (S:I needs OO-API).
    (ms) Errors are now reported via croak(), which reports the location
         in the calling script, not in Sysadm::Install.

0.17 2005/04/23
    (ms) Added interactive mode. If you call
         Sysadm::Install::confirm(1) before running Sysadm::Install
         commands, every writing function (cp(), mv(), untar(), pie(),
         blurt(), ...) will ask the user for confirmation before actually
         performing what's been requested. Sysadm::Install::confirm(0)
         switches back to normal.
    (ms) Added patch by Jud Dagnall to allow slurp() to process
         @ARGV like <> does.
    (ms) Archive::Tar is no longer mandatory for installation, just
         for using untar() and untar_in().

0.16 2005/04/10
    (ms) Bumped up Log4perl reporting level. On typical S:I functions,
         the log message will show the *calling program*'s file name
         and line number.
    (ms) slurp() and blurp() are now displaying parts of the data 
         read/written.
    (ms) Added check for IO::Zlib and better error message if it's
         not installed and a compressed tarball needs to be processed.
    (ms) Requiring L4p 0.48 and Archive::Tar 1.23 to make sure test
         suite succeeds.

    (ms) tap() now returns the exit code as a third parameter. Improved
         command handling by using qquote() to separate args.

    (ms) added hammer() and dependency on Expect
    (ms) corrected shell escapes with qquote()
