Changes for version 3.03 - 2014-11-28

  • Remodelled SSL support in Net::NNTP in the manner of Net::POP3 and Net::SMTP. [Steffen Ullrich, PR#9]
  • Increased minimum requred IO::Socket::SSL version from 1.999 to 2.007 to fix data connection problems in Net::FTP. [Steffen Ullrich, CPAN RT#100529]
  • Fixed a broken port() call in pasv_xfer()/pasv_xfer_unique() in Net::FTP.
    • Mario Preksavec, PR#8
  • Increased minimum required Socket version from 1.3 to 2.016. This may be required when those modules that can support IPv6 load IO::Socket::IP (on some OSes, at least). It does not appear to be necessary if they load IO::Socket::INET6 or IO::Socket::INET instead, but this is not easy for the end-user to control so it is simpler to always insist on Socket 2.016 or higher. [CPAN RT#100020]
  • Fixed "Argument ... isn't numeric in subroutine entry" warnings when using older versions of Perl. [CPAN RT#100020]
  • Added optional Changes testing (skipped unless AUTHOR_TESTING).
  • Reformatted Changes file as per CPAN::Changes::Spec.
