Changes for version 0.84 - 2004-04-22

  • Deprecating News::NNTPAuth in favor of Net::NNTP::Auth.
  • News::Article is no longer distributed with this, since it's already in CPAN.
  • Standardized formatting of version numbers and such.
  • Better documention in the REAMDE file.
  • 0.83b Thu Apr 22 10:50:44 CDT 2004
    • Put News::Cancel back in as News::Article::Cancel. It is now, though, just a module that inherits News::Article.
    • Net::NNTP::Auth is now v1.0 (no real changes except docs)
  • 0.82b Thu Mar 18 14:28:37 CST 2004
    • Added News::Article::Clean.
  • 0.81b Fri Feb 13 16:24:01 CST 2004
    • Made News::Cancel into its own module, not a sub-version of News::Article. I'm not entirely happy with this, but it's a start.

  • 0.61b Tue Aug 28 08:36:36 CDT 2001
