BUGS

Followup queries using default URL

When an Astro::ADS::Query object has set the url to a non-default server, the Astro::ADS::Result::Paper objects it returns use the default URL in the references, citations, alsoread and tableofcontents methods. This is likely not what you want if you are doing a lot of followup queries.

You can re-use the original query with the followup method or use v1.21.0 or above which turns the URL from an object variable to a class variable.
