Require 5.8.0 or better

No interactive questions during 'make test' (bug# 66718)
Better handling of missing PAGER.
Look for more pagers: 'most' and 'w3m' (bug# 74519)
Documentation clean-up, light refactoring, more error checks.
Do not run IO::Pager::Page automatically when in Perl compile mode.
0.10 Unreleased
Added support for encodings via binmode() (bug# 67930).
Test: encoding, handle (glob, scalar, OO), interactive...
0.07 Unreleased
Rewrote to support scalar filehandles per user request and IO::Handle
style OO support came along for the ride.
Fixed several mis-coded segments that did not affect operation.
Added C<tell> in IO::Pager::Unbuffered to check size of buffered output.
Pager open error now sets $! instead of issuing a warning, to more
closely emulate the C<open> experience. Check return value as before.
Neglected to update $VERSION in last release.
Touched up the documentation.
0.06 Wed Sep 21 2005
Fixed a stupid leftover using =~ for assignment that some perls ignored
(bug# 14692).
Fixed other nits in t.pl and documentation.
0.05 Thu Jul 17 20:01:55 EDT 2003
Touched up documentation.
Added IO::Pager::Page, a clone of IO::Page "Broken pipe" foible and all.
Fixed a bug in pager selection algorithm, it failed if you did not
have File::Which. It is now back to being only strongly recommended as
opposed to required.

Removed a stupid debug message from IO::Pager::new.
Improved PAGER selection algorithm.
