   Release alpha-0.12

   Will now copy response_handler hooks when making a clone of a
   LWP::Request object.

   Handle "300 Multiple Choices" as 302 if a Location header is
   found in the response.

   LWP::Server will now automatically create a new connection if
   the last connection is closed and we still have requests to do.

   LWP::UA::setup_proxy returned wrong value when a proxy was already
   set up.

   LWP::Conn::HTTP always overwrite the request TE header now.

   LWP::Sink::_Pipe instead of LWP::Sink::_trans.  push() instead
   of append().

   LWP::Sink::identity can buffer data now.

   Implemented LWP::Sink::Buffer and LWP::Sink::qp.



1998-03-26   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release alpha-0.11

   Added the testd/* daemon that makes it easy to generate various
   responses in order to test HTTP client libraries.

   Support chained transfer encodings.  deflate/base64/rot13/identity.

   We had an infinite loop if a chunk header happened to be divided on
   the wire.

   LWP::Sink::identity should not close its sink if it was a CODE
   reference.



1998-03-25   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release alpha-0.10

   Added LWP::Sink modules.  Plan is to use them to implement stacked
   transfer encodings and stuff like that.

   LWP::Conn::HTTP beginning to support the TE header.

   LWP::Conn::HTTP skip all 1xx responses.



1998-03-23   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release alpha-0.09

   More experiments with hooks, also for LWP::Requests.  New module
   LWP::Hooks which both LWP::UA and LWP::Request inherit from.
   Both redirect and authentication handled by hooks.
   
   Renamed $server->status to $server->c_status.
   
   Implemented $ua->cookie_jar



1998-03-19   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release alpha-0.08

   Updated documentation ('News')

   LWP::Request::clone also copies flags now

   Renamed LWP::Request::done() to LWP::Request::response_done()

   LWP::Server maintains 'created', 'request_count', 'last_request_time'
   attributes.

   LWP::Conn::FILE support the ETag header and corresponding If-headers.

   LWP::Conn::HTTP did not stop after the first successful connect to
   a multihomed site.

   LWP::Conn::HTTP would not honor the protocol version if specified in
   the LWP::Request.  We also add a 'Connection: close' header for the
   last request sent on a connection.

   Allow LWP::Request response_data() to die in order to signal that the
   connection should be broken.



1998-03-18   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release alpha-0.07

   Introduced LWP::StdSched, LWP::Request, URI::Attr classes.

   Implement file:/... access.  (LWP::Conn::FILE)

   Started to write some documentation (the 'News' file).

   Made $ua->spool more robust in case of bad request.  Ensure that
   all requests get a response_done() callback.

   Introduced 'term-ua'

   LWP::EventLoop will protect timer callbacks with eval { ... }

   Various tweaks and additions to LWP::UA/LWP::Server

   LWP::Conn::HTTP:
       - died when gethostbyname() failed
       - did not set $idle_timeout on startup in Idle mode
       - would call pushback with 0 request on error.
       - changed error code (now use 591)
       - zap requests queue if the Connect state result in error
       - callbacks to Mgr when going active/idle
       - introduce Closed state



1998-03-13   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release alpha-0.04

   After a long period of ignoring it I once again started to work
   on LWP-ng.  Made the LWP::UA and LWP::Server class working again.



1997-12-11   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release alpha-0.03

   Minor changes since 0.01.  Some testing scripts.  Renaming
   of connection class to LWP::Conn::HTTP.



1997-11-26   Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>

   Release alpha-0.01

   The start of this project.  Basic implementation of LWP::EventLoop
   and LWP::HConn finished.
