Revision history for Perl extension Win32::TieRegistry.
0.24  2001-02-06 19:00
        - Silenced error that could appear "at random" during "cleanup":
                (Can't call method "FETCH" on an undefined value)
        - Added a nearly trivial test suite.
0.23  1999-07-03 00:06
        - Fixed two embarrassing typographical errors.
        - Using invalid REG_* or KEY_* constant as string now detected.
        - With ArrayValues(1), $key->{NonExistantValueName} used to return
          C<[]> but now returns C<undef> [or C<()>].  Old code like
          C<if( $reg->{value}->[0] )> should still work but now can be
          improved to C<if( $reg->{value} )> [which used to always be true
          when the ArrayValues option was enabled].
        - All implicit C<return>s made explicit [C<$val;> to C<return $val;>].
        - Simplified C<return wantarray ? () : undef> to C<return ()>.
0.22  1999-04-09 22:13
        - C<new Win32::TieRegistry> and "Win32::TieRegistry->new" now work.
        - CreateKey()'s "disposition" argument now can get its string value
          set to "REG_CREATED_NEW_KEY" or "REG_OPENED_EXISTING_KEY".
        - GetOptions()'s fancier usages defined.
        - New documentation section on exports [C<use> and C<import()>].
        - New documentation section on best ways to use symbolic constants.
        - New documentation section on probable future directions.
        - Minor documentation fixes.
0.21  1998-09-17 14:49
        - Remove a few "harmless" warnings reported by C<-w>.
0.20  1998-07-14 14:14
        - Renamed to Win32::TieRegistry.
        - Added options:  SplitMultis, FixSzNulls,
            DWordToHex, DualBinVals, and DualTypes.
        - Added hooks for future option, TieValues.
        - Most methods now return a tied ref. if called via one:
            Open(), Load(), Connect(), and CreateKey().
        - Changed import() to support setting options.
        - More options on what to "export" and to where.
        - Each time you C<use>, you get a _separate copy_ of $Registry.
        - New methods:  Clone(), GetOptions(), and SetOptions().
        - Flush() no longer calls RegFlushKey() by default.
        - Optimize deletes to be faster in void contexts.
        - If delete OK but fetch of old val failed, have C<delete> return $^E.
        - "Disposition" option to CreateKey() no longer considered invalid.
        - CreateKey() always used OS_Delimiter to parse subkey paths.
        - Load()'s second argument can now be new subkey name.
        - Load() via remote key w/o specific new subkey name no longer tries
            to load into _local_ LMachine.
        - Finished POD.
0.15  1998-07-14 14:14
        - "Stub" version of Tie::Registry for backward compatibility only.
0.14  Never released
        - Added Install.bat for people without a version of "make".
        - Report key path when STORE fails.
0.13  1998-03-31 20:50
        - "Delimiter" now spelled correctly throughout (sigh).
        - SetValue now translates "REG_*" strings to numeric constants.
        - Removed dependance on $^E being tied to Win32::GetLastError().
0.12  1997-12-29 10:11
        - misc.
0.10  1997-11-21 15:08
        - original, limited install, named Tie::Registry.
