* Release 1.05.
* This release adds explicit frames support to the start_html() and
end_html() methods, so that they can be used in the construction of an
HTML 4 frameset document. It is assumed in that case that any HTML going
between the output of these two methods would be for browsers that don't
understand frames, that is, the "noframes" section. Each method has an
additional argument now for frame support. The new 4th argument to
start_html() is usually a hash of attributes for the <FRAMESET> tag, and
the various <FRAME> tags would be provided via the hash key 'text'. The
new 1st argument to end_html() causes it to make the closing noframes tag.
* No other changes except for 5 additional tests in test.pl and minor POD
updates. This release is backwards compatible with previous ones.

* Release 1.04.
* HTML::EasyTags now does not require any other modules and will work on its
own. The small portion of Class::ParamParser that this class did use has
been copied over into a private method, which adds less than 1K. The change
should make HTML::EasyTags easier to use since fundamentally it is a
base-level module and now it acts like it.
* Minor changes were made to the module's POD and other documentation files.
* Modified test.pl so that it automatically trims long outputs at 50
characters, ensuring that each "ok NN" line does not wrap to multiple lines.
This behaviour can be toggled with the $verbose variable.

* Release 1.0301.
* This release fixes a couple of documentation bugs. There were no
changes made to the code itself as that was fine.
* The SYNOPSIS section used to show one calling start_html() using named
parameters, a feature which was dropped after v1.01. The method actually
takes positional parameters only, and SYNOPSIS has been updated to show
proper calling style.
* Also fixed a bug in the ReadMe file where the file heading said
"class method parameter parser" instead of "easy html tag maker".
The wrong heading referred to a different distribution.

* Release 1.03.
* This release is the first one that includes the CPAN standard files
"Makefile.PL", "test.pl", and "MANIFEST", which were all created following
the previous release. The content of "Manifest" was previously inside the
"ReadMe" file. Improved the install instructions in my ReadMe file.
* Added programmer documentation to the various blocks of code, so it is
easier to see how they work; useful because a lot is done with little code.
* Removed the method positional_by_default() and associated class property
as this property wasn't used anywhere, so to simplify things. This change
would break any code that depends on the method to be there.
* Added convenience methods start_html() and end_html() which make a canned
html header and footer respectively. They are much simpler than the ones
removed for the previous release, and not proprietary.

* Release 1.02.
* This release is the first one following official registrations with
"The Perl 5 Module List". The updated entry would look like this:
HTML::
::EasyTags bdpO Make proper HTML 4 tags/lists/parts DUNCAND
* This release contains my "HTML::EasyTags" module, which was previously a
part of the following distributions under the temporary name of
"HTML::TagMaker":
- "libdwg": v1.0 r2000-07-23, v1.11 r2000-08-23
- "CGI-FormGenerator": v0.9 r2000-09-04, v0.9201 r2000-12-26
* This module requires Perl version 5.004.
It also requires Class::ParamParser 1.01.
* Code changes since HTML::TagMaker consist mainly in the removal of the
start_html() and end_html() methods; these were superfluous to the purpose
of the module, had unstable feature sets, and I deemed them proprietary.
The POD also received significant updates.
2000-12-26 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* CGI-FormGenerator 0.9201, the last version of any distribution to include
HTML::TagMaker, was released.
2000-07-23 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* libdwg 1.0, the first version of any distribution to include
HTML::TagMaker, was released on CPAN.
2000-04-21 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Completed primary development on this module.
2000-01-30 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Began development on the final version of this module.
* Module based on a template created by h2xs 1.18.
1999-07-29 thru 1999-11-13
* Worked on prototype of code that ended up in this module.
