Changes for version 1.52 - 2008-11-25

  • FIXED
    • Improved some error messages in $mech->submit_form(). Thanks to Norbert Buchmuller.

Changes for version 1.51_03 - 2008-11-20

  • FIXED
    • The $mech->clone() method was not passing the cookie jar to its clone properly. Thanks to David Sainty.
    • The $mech->back() can fail if there's nothing on the stack to go back to. Thanks to Dave Page.
    • $mech->follow_link() did not complain if a link could not be found, even with autocheck on. Now it does. Thanks, Flavio Poletti.
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Added a $mech->form_id() method so you can look up forms by ID.
    • Added $mech->content_type(), because $mech->ct() is too cryptic.

Changes for version 1.51_02 - 2008-11-18

  • STILL BROKEN
    • t/local/click_button.t is still failing its tests for calling ->click on an HTML::Form object. I suspect this is an LWP change, but I haven't dug into it enough yet.
  • FIXES
    • Fixed the bad credentials API that stomped on LWP::UserAgent's credentials() method. Thanks to Max Maschien and Matt Lawrence.
    • The $mech->links method now finds <link href="..."> links. Thanks to H.Merijn Brand.
    • Makefile.PL explicitly requires Perl 5.8.0.
    • URI.pm has to be version 1.36 or else URIs don't get encoded correctly.
    • LWP has to be 5.819 or we have encoding problems.

Changes for version 1.51_01 - 2008-11-06

  • FIXES
    • Page history is now working much better. The $mech->back() method should behave more like a browser now. Most notably, it no longer restores the cookie state, just like your browser doesn't restore cookie state when you page back. It also should use much less memory.
