Changes for version 3.06 - 2015-04-01

  • Fixed INSTALLDIRS to account for the @INC reordering change in Perl 5.12. See Perl RT#116479 for details. (libnet entered the perl core in Perl 5.7.3 so that's what the lower bound of the check should strictly be, but since we only support Perl 5.8.1 and higher anyway it suffices to check for Perl 5.8. The upper bound is correctly Perl 5.11.0 since the @INC reordering change in question (Perl core commit #b9ba2fadb1) first appeared in Perl 5.11.0.) [CPAN RT#103238]
  • Fixed Net::FTP authorize() method, which incorrectly interpreted the return value of the _RESP() method and falsely reported a failure. [Troy Loveday, CPAN RT#48532]
  • Added optional SendHello argument to Net::SMTP->new() to allow preventing the EHLO/HELO command from being automatically sent by the constructor.
    • Danil Onishchenko, PR#13
