Changes for version 0.72

  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Added the set_visible() method, thanks to Peter Scott.
  • INTERNALS
    • Made the globbing in Makefile.PL a little less command-line intensive. Also fixed the missing files in MANIFEST.
    • Added t/pod-coverage.t for testing POD coverage.

Changes for version 0.71_02 - 2003-12-22

  • THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE
    • Added a 5th, optional parameter to WWW::Mechanize::Link's constructor. In 0.71_01, it was at the beginning of the argument list and was required. Now it's at the end and is optional. If, in the 15 hours since 0.71_01 came out, you went and changed all your WWW::Mechanize::Link constructors, you'll have to change them around again. Otherwise, you can just ignore this change.

Changes for version 0.71_01 - 2003-12-21

  • THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE
    • WWW::Mechanize::Link's constructor has a new argument that needs to be passed in, at the start of the argument list.
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • WWW::Mechanize::Link object now takes a $base URL, and will return absolute URLs with the url_abs() method. Thanks to Ashley Pond.
    • Added another script to WWW::Mechanize::Examples. It's a script that didn't make it into Spidering Hacks.
  • INSTALL & TESTS
    • Heavy use of the new Test::Memory::Cycle module.
    • Fixed Makefile.PL so that the tests are selected under Win32.
    • Changed t/mech-dump.t so that the test succeeds under Win32.
    • Updated t/referer.t and t/mech-dump.t so they run under VMS. Thanks to Peter Prymmer.
