to Sebastian Willing <sewi@cpan.org> for taking care of this.
Mon Feb 18 2013 Michael South <msouth@cpan.org>
o CPAN Release 2.61
o Correcting error in Makefile.PL :(
Mon Feb 18 2013 Michael South <msouth@cpan.org>
o CPAN Release 2.60
o using 'localhost' when creating daemons for any local/*.t
tests. Some machines don't return a reachable domain
for `hostname`. This may need further refinement.
o exiting explicitly from daemon in local/*.t code that
creates them. This was already done in timeouts.t,
adding it to the other two locations.
o attempting a fix for https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46821
without having reproduced. Should at least do no harm, though.
o applied (some of) the patch for https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35775
by CHORNY@cpan.org (issue with use of `pwd` on Win32)
o adding (generated) META.yml and META.json
Fri Feb 15 2013 Michael South <msouth@cpan.org>

Mon May 26 2003 Marc Langheinrich <marclang@cpan.org>
o CPAN Release 2.56

o some miscenallenous bugfixes (undefined values, etc)
Fri May 23 2003 Marc Langheinrich <marclang@cpan.org>
o CPAN Release 2.55 (namefix release: didn't realize PAUSE had some
special handling mechanisms for x.yy_zz version names, which resulted
in the 2.54_21 release not being indexed)
o No code changes to 2.54_21!
Tue Mar 11 2003 Marc Langheinrich <marclang@cpan.org>
o CPAN Release 2.54_21 (bugfix release)
o Packaging
Wed Feb 19 2003 Marc Langheinrich <marclang@cpan.org>
o Release 2.54_20 (beta testing only)
o bugfix: [Parallel::UserAgent.pm] called _new_response without fully
qualifiying the package (should be LWP::UserAgent::_new_response),
as this was screwed up in the bugfix in 2.54_19
Wed Feb 19 2003 Marc Langheinrich <marclang@cpan.org>
o Release 2.54_19 (beta testing only)
o rearranged tests and copied LWP's t/TEST file for ease-of-use

o bugfix: [Parallel::Protocol.pm] receiving into a file would always
_append_
o bugfix: [Parallel::UserAgent.pm] called _new_reponse without $self->
o bugfix: [Parallel::UserAgent.pm] _single_request would drop parameters
when delegating to ->register
o bugfix: [Parallel::UserAgent.pm] send_request and request would create
new useragent, without copying currents ua's settings. now they operate
on $self instead (thus retaining all current settings)
o bugfix: [Parallel::RobotUA.pm] fixed syntax errors!! :-(
o bugfix: [Parallel::RobotUA.pm] $rules->visit would not be updated if
an earlier visit had failed (even though the current one worked), or
if we requested the robots.txt file itself.
o bugfix: [Parallel::RobotUA.pm] added ->use_sleep support
o checked [Parallel::RobotUA] against LWP::RobotUA 1.18
o updated RobotUA->delay method to use minutes instead of seconds
(compatible with LWP::RobotUA behavior)
o bugfix: [Parallel::Protocol::ftp.pm] fixed HTTP::Response calls (forgot to
add "->new", aargh!)
o bugfix: [Parallel::Protocol::ftp.pm] added $key and $account vars to make
conn_cache work
o bugfix: [Parallel::Protocol::ftp.pm] fixed various syntax errors!!! :-|
o renamed Parallel::Protocol::http::connect method to _connect (to indicate
that it's private)
o bugfix: [Parallel::Protocol::http.pm] handle_connect had wrong return
o bugfix: [Parallel::Protocol::http.pm] pushback buffer (also spotted by
Dongqiang Bai)
o bugfix: [Parallel::Protocol::http.pm] empty buffers passed to ->receive

format

(still needs some work, thanks to http://www.en-directo.net/mail/kirill.html)
