0.996 Fri Jul 8 2005
Summary:
- RELEASE CANDIDATE 2

Patch and comprehensive additional tests provided by johanl[ÄT]DarSerMan.com

0.840_01 Tue Dec 21 2004
Summary:
- Perl Foundation Funding Commences
- Changes separated into General and Details from here on
- Complete re-organisation of the quote-like token classes.
Any and all code that works with quotes will be broken.

much thinner implementation based roughly on the API of
File::Find::Rule.
PPI::Find uses the &wanted function (which also has a slightly
different API to the old one) but has the ->in style search methods.
It should be relatively easy for someone to write PPI::Find::Rule
on top of it.

during the changeover.
