Revision history for Perl extension HTML::TableExtract.

1.09  Fri Feb 25 17:49:00 EST 2005
        - Tables can now be selected by table tag attributes
        - lineage() method now returns row and column information, as
          well as depth and count, for each ancestor (potential
          backwards incompatability, entries are now 4 element arrays
          now rather than 2)
        - header matching and column retention enhancements
        - header retention
        - old-style procedures deprecated in prepration for them to
          become methods
        - various bug fixes

1.08  Thu Apr  4 11:26:27 CST 2002
        - Added some more crufty HTML tolerance -- not PC (puristicly
          correct) but HTML correctness is probably of no interest to
          those merely trying to extract information *out* of HTML.
        - Fixed a mapback problem with the legacy methods

1.07  Wed Aug 22 06:14:24 CDT 2001
        - Added keep_html option for HTML retention
        - bug fix for depth/count targets

1.06  Thu Nov  2 15:29:49 CST 2000
        - Added <br> translation to newlines (enabled by default)

        - fixed gridmap bug involving skew calcs on unwanted columns
        - added example page reference in README

1.03  Tue Jul  7 03:43:30 CDT 2000
        - gridmap option, columns are really columns regardless of
          cell span skew
        - Added chains for relative targeting
          * Terminus-matching by default
          * Elasticity option
          * Waypoint retention option
          * Lineage tracking (match record along chain)
        - Significant tests added to 'make test'
        - Documentation rewrite

0.05  Tue Mar 21 08:11:54 CST 2000
        - Fixed -w init warnings for dangling columns in header mode
        - added 'decode' option to turn off text decoding when desired
        - internally stores real slices right now rather than sparse

        - Fixed bug regarding incomplete defaults
        - Tables, rows, and cells that are either empty or contain no
          text are now properly noted
        - Header patterns now match across stripped tags
        - In some cases, mangled HTML tables are properly
          scanned by inferring missing <TR> tags.
        - Depth/Count votes are now properly honored.
        - Cleaned up some -w noise.
