Revision history for WWW::Myspace

0.28	2006-02-26
		- Fixed a bug in post_comment that would cause comments with
		  multiple lines to display "<br>" tags when posted to pages that
		  don't allow HTML comments.
		- Made same change in send_message, which makes no difference
		  in MacOS X, but might on other platforms that interpret "\n"
		  differently.  Should be "safer".
		- Updated test scripts to post multi-line messages.

0.27	2006-02-24
		- Added "An error has occurred trying to send this message" error RE.

		message_group:
		- Now displays the reason it stopped (CAPTCHA, USAGE, COUNTER, or DONE).
		

0.26	2006-02-20
		- Included approve_friends, message_group, and comment scripts
		  in distribution.
		- Added browse method, but not yet functional.  If you want to
		  help debug, please do. Otherwise, don't use it yet.
		- Added CAPTCHA handling (alpha stage):
		  - post_comment sets $myspace->captcha and returns FC
		  - Call post_comment with ID, message, captcha response to
		    continue.
		    Note: Using this is a bit tricky, needs better examples.
		- Fixed "t/02-dual.........Can't open test config file
		  readline() on closed filehandle CONFIG at t/TestConfig.pm
		  line 50." error in test.
		- CHANGED submit_friend_request. This implements feature request
		  17587, but IS NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE. It will DIE if you call
		  it with more than one friend, so that it can tell you to update
		  your code.  Now returns a status code like post_comment instead
		  of a true/false value.
		- Added submit_friend_requests method for multiple adds (but see
		  docs for a better example).

0.25	2006-02-20
		- Added debugging code.
		- Updated URLs for get_friends sub-methods. Versions before
		  this one will not return all friends.
		- Added warning if friend_count and number of friends returned
		  by get_friends differs by more than 10 friends or 5% of
		  friend_count.
		- Added page verification RE to get_friends to help ensure all
		  friends are accounted for.

0.24	2006-02-19
		- Added logged_in method. Returns true if login was successful.
		- Added login failure tests to test scripts.
		- Updated for changes in myspace.com. These fix install test
		  errors and the get_friends method (whose URL relies on
		  friend_count) as well.
		  - user_name now gets name from "Hello, <name>!" line.
		  - Included test for optional "<span>" in friend_count.
		  
		  PREVIOUS VERSION WILL FAIL INSTALL TESTS AND get_friends,
		  user_name, AND friend_count METHODS (and possibly others)
		  WILL NOT WORK.

0.23	2006-02-11
		- Added "profile undergoing routine maintenance" error RE to
		  list of error pages.
		- Added add_to_friends convenience method.
		- Updated URL for inbox friends check. Fixes friends_who_emailed
		  method and tests so install works.
		- Updated $SEND_MESSAGE_FORM URL. Fixes mail sending and tests.
		- Fixed POD for add_to_friends.

		  PREVIOUS VERSIONS WILL FAIL INSTALL TESTS AND CAN'T SEND
		  MESSAGES.

0.22	2006-02-10
		- Added regexp for "This user's profile has been temporarily
		  disabled for special maintenance" error.
		- Added an array of regexps for error page handling.
		- Added ability to explicitly verify certain pages in get_pages.
		  - Added explicit verify for get_profile method.
		- Updated known issues.
		- Added explicit check for verify form for post_comments.
		- Added dual RE check options for submit_form.

0.21	2006-02-07
		- Added example and "See also WWW::Myspace::Message" docs for
			send_message due to a user question.
		- Added "See also WWW::Myspace::Comment" for post_comment.
		- Removed unnecessary pre-requesite "IO::All" from Makefile.PL
		- Fixed condition in 03-delete.t in which test would fail if
		  Perl 2 was not in friend list.
		- Added code to check for "unexpected error" page.
		- Made get_page and submit_form functions much more robost.
		- Updated URLs in send_friend_request, delete_friends,
		  post_comment to use new myspace URLs.
		- Added flag to send_message to have it attach an "Add to Friends"
		  button. This is mostly to save people having to update their
		  message files manually if the code for this changes again.
		- Fixed delete_friends method, broken by myspace change.
		- Numerous other changes and bug fixes from extensive changes at
		  Myspace.com.
		- Reinforcement of test script items so that tests should pass,
		  so that end-user installations can include auto-update code
		  without forcing install.
		Message.pm (0.8):
		- Added add_to_friends method which adds an "Add to friends"
		  button after the message if set to true.
		  If you include an "add to friends" button in your messages,
		  YOU SHOULD UPDATE YOUR CODE TO USE THIS METHOD instead.

		  PREVIOUS VERSIONS WILL ENCOUNTER MANY ERRORS:
		  Posting comments, deleting friends, sending friend requests.
		  Install tests will fail.

		  if post_comments was called without any friends.
		  (RT Bug 17379: http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=17379).

0.08	2006-01-07/12:52pm
		*** REQUIRED VERSION AFTER 1/7/2006 ***
