Revision history for WWW::Search::Scraper (::*).
v2.22 - Changes to Request/Response module that might help RedHat 7.0 implmentations.
eg/ZipPlus4Fixer.pl - ZipPlus4 fixer - try it!
Simple (regressive) implementation of the WSDL interface.
v2.21 - Improved POD - see ScraperPOD.pm - READ THIS DOCUMENT! WE'VE CHANGED THE DEFAULT
REQUEST MODE FOR MOST SUPPLIED SCRAPER ENGINES FROM 'native' TO 'canonical'!
SEE "What if I *want* native mode?"
Improved Request and Response classes - both auto-generated by default now.
Improved ZIPplus4.pm, computerjobs, Dogpile.
v2.20 - Added eg/Boilerplage.pl - creates boilerplates for new Scraper modules.
Added t/t.t to help some "make test"s work.
v2.19 - Improved make test - uses Test::More for better result logging.
v2.18 - Added BayAreaHelpWanted.com, and ZIPplus4 (ZIP+4 Code Look-up).
Added auto-sub-classing of responses via Response.pm and each scraper "frame".
Added lazy-access to field values resident on the detail page (via auto-sub-classing).
Added 'XPath' as scraping option.
Added Lycos.
v2.17 - Added Beaucoup - yup! Beaucoup's Super Search!
More verbose reports from "make test" (see file 'test.trace' after "make test")
v2.16 - Special fixes to make Scraper work with LWP versions between 5.60 and 5.63
Added 'CLEANUP' as a Scraper operation.
Significant test.pl improvements (Scraper.pm as a "testable" base-class).
v2.15 - Added TidyXML.pm base class for new Scraper modules.
Added Dogpile.com - this is our first TidyXML implementation!
v2.13 - Make Scraper comply with new sanity checks in later versions of WWW::Search.
Upgraded Monster.pm to Monster.com's new "RELATED RESOURCES for <query>" format.
Fix fatal flaw in Brainpower.pm.
Some improvements to "make test".
Improvements in handling of redirects from the search engines.
v2.12 - HotJobs.pm is not working in this version, so we've put it on leave . . .
Make dependant on Tie::Persistent - rt.cpan.org: Ticket #74
Try to be nice to Google.com via LWP::RobotUA.
Improvements in handling "native_query" vs "Request" object.
v2.10 - Improved Google.pm: added "category", "categoryURL", "similarPagesURL",
and "sampleText".
v2.01 - Clarify conflicts between Request's canonical query, WWW::Search's
(and ::Scraper's) native query and options, and each module's
default options. This greatly simplifies the design and usage.
Fixed some problems with Brainpower's details page.
v2.00 - Complete Request/Response classification framework.
v1.39 - Added 'ResultType' parameter to HIT*. Complete refurbishment of Response
generation, old SearchResult type is now a simple sub-type of Response.
You may override this with a 'scraperResultType' option on Scraper->new(),
or better, in the 'HIT*' element of the Scraper module's scraperFrame.
Also completely refurbished the Request end - old style is now a
simple sub-type of Request (auto-converted within Scraper.pm).
Added Request::Job.pm.
The most mature search engine is now Brainpower.pm. It uses Request::Job
properly, in the 'HIT*' element of its scraperFrame.
v1.38 - Fix itsy-bitsy boo-boo in Scraper.pm (was not escaping input strings).
Improved documentation in several of the modules.
Added Scraper::Request module for later abstraction of "requests".
Added Brainpower.com.
v1.37 - Moved Sherlock.pm to WWW::Search::Scraper to avoid namespace collision.
Improved some of the documentation layout (I think).
v1.36 - Added test.pl; fixed bugs discovered thereby in Dice, apartments, eBay, etc.
v1.35 - Added FlipDog.com, and a few features to Scraper.pm (e.g. 'BOGUS', etc).
v1.34 - Introduced SearchResult sub-classing, with illustration in eg/Scraper.pl
Improved reliability of BAJobs.pm
Dice.com changed the result page format, again. I hope this version
of Dice.pm will be more adaptive to Dice.com's future changes.
Added www.computerjobs.com and www.techies.com (which still has a problem)
Added examples: eg/SearchApartments, improved eg/Scraper.
v1.33 - Added www.apartments.com, and eg/Sherlock.pl
