Changes for version 1.04 - 2004-09-15

  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • $mech->get() now accepts a WWW::Mechanize::Link object.
    • $mech->stack_depth(n) lets you set the depth of the mech object's page stack. This way, if you have a Mech that does lots of stuff and never/rarely goes back(), you won't be eating up memory. Thanks to BooK and Chi-Fung. (RT #5362)
  • FIXES
    • Fixed tests that fail under LWP >= 5.800.
    • Added a workaround for LWP::UserAgent->clone() when ->{proxy} is undef. (RT #6443)
    • The Referer was getting passed as a URI object sometimes, and that caused sadness. Eugene Haimov supplied a workaround. (RT #6372)
  • DOCUMENTATION
    • Added Ian Langworth's listmod and John Beppu's photobucket uploader programs to WWW::Mechanize::Examples.
    • Minor doc tweak for find_link()
    • Finally added a value() func. Thanks to Spoon, who even now, months after his passing, is still contributing to Mechanize.
