Changes for version 1.16 - 2005-10-28

  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Sped up Mech significantly (~20% in some cases). Images and links are extracted from the HTML, and objects are created, only when they're actually needed. This will be a speedup for pages where you're only following links, or vice versa.
  • THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE
    • If you've been relying on the $mech->{images} and $mech->{links} fields being populated so that you can bypass the $mech->images() and $mech->links() accessors, your code will break. That's OK, because you should have been using the accessors all along.
