-2003-02-05  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* lib/CPAN.pm (savehist, CPAN::shell): new config variables
-	histfile and histsize control saving and retrieving of history.
-
-	* Explain the status of CPAN.pm vs. CPANPLUS.pm in the POD
-
-	* Documentation: mention FTP_PASSIVE; courtesy Peter Valdemar
-	Mørch
-
-2002-11-22  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* correct all split commands to use a regex instead of a string.
-	Thanks to Rafael Garcia-Suarez for detecting the abuse.
-
-2002-11-17  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* BUNDLE/Test/{Builder,More}.pm: Strip POD from the two bundled
-	modules.
-
-2002-11-15  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Makefile.PL: Switch to CPAN::MakeMaker for this one experimental
-	release. The implications of CPAN::MakeMaker are yet to be
-	evaluated. Here I use the "True Bundle" feature to add Test::More
-	and Test::Builder and remove the dependency on them.
-
-2002-11-12  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* lib/CPAN/FirstTime.pm (read_mirrored_by): Bill Pollock made me
-	aware about simple mistakes that can be avoided in the URL
-	selection dialogue (entering URL strings instead of numbers,
-	entering leading or trailing whitespace). With a few simple tweaks
-	these should be avoided in the future.
-
-2002-10-20  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* lib/CPAN.pm: the last few patches also fixed accidentally some
-	"redefined" warnings during "reload cpan".
-
-2002-09-30  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Roland Bauer sent me a patch that carefully appended a trailing
-	newline to a couple of "mywarn" messages that came without it.
-	
-	* CPAN::FirstTime::display_some: Change the displayed dialogue to
-	make clear that SPACE ENTER is the trick to page through results.
-	Correct some indenting and trailing whitespace. Remove some unused
-	variables.
-
-	* print_ornamented: Newline fix for various Windows systems by
-	Roland Bauer
-
-2002-09-03  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::FirstTime::init: Catch non-absolute path in cpan_home.
-
-2002-08-30  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* New version of the cpan script by brian d foy.
-
-2002-07-28  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Releasing as 1.62.
-
-	* cpan: beefed-up cpan script courtesy brian d foy.
-
-	* Makefile.PL: deactivate PREREQ_PM for File::Spec in case we are
-	running under 5.6.0, otherwise 5.6.0's CPAN.pm would download
-	5.8.0 just for File::Spec.
-
-2002-05-07  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Releasing as 1.61.
-
-	* The default WAIT server has got a new domain name:
-	ls6-www.informatik.uni-dortmund.de
-
-	* Protecting against not existing $META->{is_tested} element.
-
-2002-04-21  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Repackaging, no changes in the code. The reason is that
-	search.cpan.org could not grok the format of my ChangeLog file
-	which mixed POD and non-POD. Now ChangeLog is POD-free and old
-	Changes are in Changes.old. Going to package as 1.60b.
-
-2002-04-19  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Change the quoting in system command for Windows systems. Thanks
-	to Alessandro Forghieri <alf at orion dot it> for the report.
-
-	* merge with bleadperl 
-
-2001-06-16  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Typo Frontent->Frontend in three places. Thanks to Rich Williams
-	for spotting.
-
-2001-05-28  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* manpage_headline: fixed the NAME parsing regular expression to
-	ignore headlines that just start with NAME. Thanks to Jost Krieger
-	for spotting.
-
-2001-05-22  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Bundle::look: disable the look command on bundles. Till
-	now it meant to recursively look into all members. This could be
-	time-consuming and even hard to interrupt. As I know nothing else
-	one could expect from look(Bundle), I decided to disable it
-	completely.
-
-2001-04-xx  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Do not remember exact date: Applied a patch by Gisle Aas to
-	replace MD5 by Digest::MD5.
-
-2001-02-09  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Releasing as 1.59_54.
-
-	* CPAN::Tarzip::TIEHANDLE: Applied a patch by Robin Barker
-	<rmb1@cise.npl.co.uk> about a wrong error message ("Could pipe"
-	instead of "Could not pipe")
-
-2001-02-06  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Index::rd_modpacks: Add a stalenes warning if the index
-	file is older than 30 days. Thanks to "tanbin"
-	<tiger40490@yahoo.com> for the report.
-
-	* To improve the protection against stale mirrors, add a global
-	for $CPAN::Index::DATE_OF_02 to keep track of the currently used
-	index. This is also stored in the cache. It will be printed as a
-	reminder whenever a fetch fails and whenever the metadata are
-	retrieved from the index file or via Storable.
-
-2001-01-02  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Author::as_glimpse): added email address
-
-	* CPAN::Shell::a: uppercasing any argument broke experimental
-	advanced query. Made conditional on the existence of an equal sign
-	now.
-
-2000-12-31  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* POD: add a description of the ls command.
-
-	* Improve documentation of support for authenticated proxies.
-
-	* CPAN::Bundle::contains: Bail out if there is no inst_file and
-	cpan_file eq "N/A". Old code would have tried to download N/A.
-
-2000-12-27  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* normalize: Fix bug with "Strange distribution name" if it is
-	"Contact Author..."
-
-2000-12-26  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::LWP::UserAgent: new class to customize proxy
-	authentication. Thanks to David C Worenklein for a working
-	implementation that I could use as a basis.
-
-2000-12-19  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* manpage: Added a pointer to the Japanese translation.
-
-2000-12-13  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* FAQ: While working on the FAQ mirroring item, I discovered that
-	we need a mirror command because "get" unwraps the tarfiles as a
-	side effect, which is not nice. Mirror() will do nothing if source
-	is a "file:" URL. It will probably understand force to override
-	that. It will copy to ~/.cpan/sources but leave the file unopened
-	and untouched. Backed out the FAQ item until we have that fixed.
-
-2000-12-11  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Distribution::normalize: Did not work correctly for
-	authors that have subdirectories in their CPAN directory. Was
-	counting slashes, am now also checking against a regexp.
-
-	* cpl: make completion work with "get".
-
-	* CPAN::Shell::ls: Reject arguments not matching [A-Z\-] to
-	prevent /.../ expansion which neither worked nor is considered
-	useful.
-
-	* CPAN::Shell::h: include ls command
-
-	* variable naming: rename $date_of_03 and $last_time to uppercase
-	counterparts. Globals must stand out visually.
-
-	* FAQ: Adding "How do I set up a local CPAN mirror that does not
-	contain things I'm not interested in?". Thanks to Paul Moore for
-	asking the question (but see above, the article was removed for
-	further consideration on 2000-12-13)
-
-	* CPAN::Author::id: add a sanity check, first letter must be A-Z
-
-2000-12-10  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Distribution::look: Protect against empty $dir and use
-	safe_chdir instead of chdir.
-
-2000-12-01  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* get: finished the treatment of the NFS racing condition that
-	motivated many of the recent changes in get(). Thanks for
-	reporting and heavy testing to Steffen Beyer.
-
-	* Releasing as 1.59_51.
-
-	* normalize: protect against the case when normalize is called
-	without argument.
-
-	* Thanks to Jeremy Wadsack who read the first sketch of the
-	documentation of the programmer's interface and provided helpful
-	comments and additions.
-
-        * Declaring 1.58_93 as 1.59 and releasing as such to have a stable
-        baseline again. 1.58_93 had been integrated into the development
-        track of 5.7.0 with patch 7737 on 2000/11/18.
-
-2000-11-30  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Distribution::get: removed a special case that was never
-	documented and apparently never worked: when keep_source_where
-	matched /^no/, we tried to delete the source again after an
-	installation.
-
-	* POD: documented expandany
-
-	* CPAN::Bundle::inst_file: now takes the newest Bundle definition
-	file it finds within @INC and ~/.cpan/Bundle/. Sets INST_VERSION
-	as side effect. CPAN::Bundle::inst_version calls inst_file.
-
-	* CPAN::Distribution::uptodate: New method.
-
-	* CPAN::Bundle::uptodate: New method. Thanks to Jeremy Wadsack who
-	discovered that an uptodate method for Bundles was missing.
-
-	* POD: Wrote at least the headlines for all public methods to make
-	a second step at opening CPAN.pm for programmers.
-
-2000-11-28  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Admin (CPAN::Shell::register): opened for XML, Tk, and Apache.
-
-	* CPAN::Author::ls: include the author's ID in the listing to make
-	copy&paste easier.
-
-	* normalize: Allowed the special case "N/A ..." for bundles.
-
-	* CPAN::Complete::cpl: made completion for bundles work on install
-	et al.
-
-	* localize: Encountered a C<Can't locate object method "new" via
-	package "LWP::UserAgent"> although has_usable returned true. Could
-	not find out the reason, so I wrapped it into an eval.
-
-2000-11-23  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Sending as 1.58_94 to Steffen, no release to avoid confusion.
-
-	* Due to a bug report by Steffen Beyer I added a whole lot of
-	debugging statements to get in the hope, I can find a reason why
-	his copy misbehaves under 5.00503.
-
-	* CPAN::Distribution::get: Fixed indenting in get(). Added $! to
-	the error messages there.
-
-
-2000-11-22  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::FirstTime::conf_sites: Added the option to download a
-	MIRRORED.BY immediately even if the local one seems fresh enough.
-
-	* POD: Lots of fixes spotted by John P. Linderman
-
-2000-11-15  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Fixed an incompatibility with 5.00503 discovered by Ask B.
-	Hansen.
-
-2000-11-14  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* lib/CPAN/FirstTime.pm: MyConfig/Config buglet during
-	site-picking and more verbosity for selecting good arguments for
-	make (Thanks to Larry Virden for the report)
-
-	* print_ornamented: Made shell output ornamenting dependent on a
-	global variable $CPAN::Shell::PRINT_ORNAMENTING. It is and will
-	stay a rarely used feature, so a global to turn it on and off
-	seems appropriate. For the record: this does not do anything but
-	colorize STDOUT and STDERR differently for debugging if all
-	messages are wrapped correctly.
-
-2000-11-11  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Admin: Made the machine name of PAUSE a constant.
-
-2000-11-10  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* rematein: Enable dump of Author objects (was the useless silly
-	message)
-
-	* Two (temporary) global variables introduced:
-	$CPAN::Tarzip::BUGHUNTING enables naughty code that may help track
-	some bugs in Archive::Tar (already reported to SRZ). And
-	$CPAN::Shell::ADVANCED_QUERY turns on a form of the query like
-	    C<m userid=RFOLEY> or
-	    C<m userid=~FOL> or
-	    C<d cpan_userid=RFOLEY>
-
-	But this syntax is highly experimental and WILL change, do not
-	rely on it.
-	
-2000-11-09  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Module::userid: change to mean either CPAN_USERID from
-	02modules or userid from 03modlist. Up to now it only meant the
-	latter. As both are always identical, we could save some space by
-	renaming CPAN_USERID to userid. --> Todo
-
-2000-11-08  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Complete::cpl: Make completion work for locally installed
-	bundles on the first try, not just the second.
-
-	* CPAN::Complete::cpl: Make completion for authors work even when
-	lowercase was typed in so far.
-
-	* releasing as 1.58_90
-
-	* CPAN::Module::name: was an alias for &cpan_file. That made the m
-	command slow without any visible advantage. C<m /html-tree/> used
-	to find the modules in the distribution HTML-Tree-XXX and now
-	doesn't anymore. But this is misfeature as we have both <d
-	/html-tree/> and <i /html-tree/> for that.
-
-	* cpan_file: Fixed a bug that could instantiate an empty Author
-	object.
-
-2000-11-07  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* format_result: Add a summary line at the end how many items in
-	the set.
-
-	* print_ornamented: Moved the special-case for fullname to
-	print-ornamented to be prepared for other UTF-8 fields besides
-	fullname (Try with C<m Sub::Curry>)
-
-2000-11-06  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Released as 1.58_57
-
-	* CPAN::Shell::ls: I believe, ls is now fully functional, but it
-	still needs some work on PAUSE to be perceived as bugfree. Thu
-	left undocumented (but it's already useful as it is, even
-	completion works; if you're interested: give it only authors as
-	arguments).
-
-	* CPAN::shell: Detect parse errors when Text::ParseWords fails
-	without die()ing, like in C<d Documentum's>.
-
-	* CPAN::Distribution::normalize: Try A/AC/ACALPINI/foo when the
-	user says ACALPINI/foo. I have only tested for the C<rematein>
-	family and the C<d> command so far. Need to find all places where
-	the normalization is needed.
-
-	* CPAN::Module::as_string: improved manpage parsing on files with
-	CRLF in them.
-
-2000-11-04  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Releasing as 1.58_56.
-
-	* CPAN::Shell::local_bundles: Did not discover local bundle files
-	if they were nested. Thanks to Ask B. Hansen for the report.
-
-	* CPAN::Shell::ls: Started work on an ls command. Left
-	undocumented because not yet finished. Needs mtime in CHECKSUMS
-	file.
-
-	* localize: Improved messaging when we try to download a
-	compressed file instead of an uncompressed.
-
-	* o conf: Made C<o conf -Module> to mean remove Module debugging
-	from the current debugging settings. Handy when you turn on "all"
-	and discover that Module is too noisy.
-
-2000-10-29  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* FAQ about readline: Thanks to Joseph Kewish
-	<jkewish@thedrag.com> who knew the correct answer.
-
-2000-10-28  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* untar: again change preference to tag+gzip to hunt down a bug in
-	Archive::Tar.
-
-	* Admin's register: Forgive when URI::Escape isn't installed yet
-	and let it be installed while we're running.
-
-2000-10-27  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Releasing snapshot as 1.58_55.
-
-	* CPAN::Admin::register: do not run a get if the command line
-	already contains more than one arguments.
-
-2000-10-26  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Added documentation for CPAN::shell and term_is_latin.
-
-	* CPAN::Author::fullname: convert to latin1 if
-	$CPAN::Config->{term_is_latin} is set to true.
-
-	* CPAN::Module::as_glimpse and CPAN::Shell::_u_r_common: enabled
-	coloring of module names that are already registered in the module
-	list. This feature bloat will have to go away in a future version,
-	but for a while it might prove useful. The diffs between RCS 1.361
-	and 1.362 should then be applied reversed. The feature bloat is
-	only visible when the global $CPAN::Shell::COLOR_REGISTERED is
-	set, no visible changes are made otherwise.
-
-	* Added CPAN::Admin in an extra file. The subclass is for CPAN
-	admins only. For others it is an instructive programming example.
-	I consider the programming environment still alpha and need
-	feedback on its usefulness. E.g. I consider it ugly that
-	CPAN::Shell::expand and CPAN::instance have such a B<slightly>
-	different interface. I hate it that testing C<$m->{RO}{something}>
-	creates the RO slot. I'm unsure what one could make easier when
-	expand() returns a list of objects instead of a single object.
-
-	* cpl: made CPAN::Complete::cpl more flexible by assigning all
-	commands to the global @COMMANDS and offering a fallback for the
-	second word to modules and bundles when an unknown command is
-	entered. CPAN::Admin takes advantage of this feature.
-
-2000-10-25  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* shell: The C<$term||=> change of 2000-10-20 broke the
-	re-detection of ReadLine for fresh installations. Fixed that again
-	so that both ways are possible: disposing the Stub interface and
-	re-using an interface that is better than Stub.
-
-2000-10-21  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::shell: Now takes two arguments, one is the prompt, the
-	second is the default initial command line.
-
-	* Released this snapshot as 1.58_51
-
-	* hosthard: applied a patch by Michael Dean
-	<sysmwd@blackhole.detir.qld.gov.au> to support wget.
-
-2000-10-20  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Distribution::containsmods: Did not return a value, now
-	returns the contained modules
-
-	* CPAN::Distribution::get: chdir back to initial CWD
-
-	* CPAN::anycwd: new routine replaces all occurrences of replicated
-	two-line code
-
-	* shell: chdir-ing back to initial directory at end of CPAN::shell
-
-	* CPAN::exists: added a config loader because everything depends
-	on it. Will have to identify other places that need it.
-
-	* shell: Assignment of a readline interface to term now is a "||="
-	rather than a "=" in case somebody calls shell multiple times.
-
-	* Moved the call to read_metadata_cache from shell to
-	CPAN::Index::reload so that (1) it isn't called so early and (2)
-	programmers can enjoy its availability too.
-
-	* CPAN::Config::commit: die when you can't write the config file.
-	We did only warn, but it is more frustrating to repeatedly get the
-	same questions asked than to get at least a good error message.
-	Will have to catch some error conditions earlier.
-
-2000-10-18  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Module::as_string: up to now the MANPAGE attribute was
-	only generated for installed modules. Now we try to read the
-	manpage headline if a get has been issued so that a build_dir
-	exists. This is helpful for exploring CPAN without installing
-	anything, e.g. when you have no or only slow access to a WAIT
-	server.
-
-	* Releasing as 1.58
-
-2000-10-15  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* FAQ: two new FAQ items added: autobundle and readline
-
-2000-10-07  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Setting Version to 1.57_68RC
-
-	* POD: numbering FAQ items; rewording of FAQ item 6 about bundles;
-	introduced FAQ item 7 about CPAN::Site.
-
-	* CPAN::FirstTime::init: Making cache_metadata default to 1.
-
-	* missing_config_data: Making cache_metadata a reason to rerun
-	configuration.
-
-2000-09-29  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::DESTROY: Protected the call to $gz->gzclose with an if
-	defined $gz. Thanks to abigail for reporting the bug, apologies
-	that I'm also not sure if this fixes the cause, or just the
-	sympton.
-
-	* has_inst: 2nd warning for not having installed Net::FTP
-	silencified with a global (Thanks to Anno Siegel for the
-	suggestion)
-
-2000-09-16  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* 1.57_67 is a release candidate.
-
-	* FirstTime: rewording of the intro for the cache_metadata feature
-	from experimental to beta. Leaving default to off. As it is still
-	turned off, I do not add the feature to the "necessary" features
-	in sub missing_config_data. Will do so when default changes to on.
-
-	* untar: for running the pipe, the external programs gzip and tar
-	are OK to use but for a pure uncompress I prefer to use our own
-	method gunzip for maximum code reuse (fallback to external gzip is
-	there anyway) and less use of system().
-
-	* hosthard: after Jost has approved that the code now is much more
-	defensive against the install-an-inexistent-distribution errors,
-	now the funkyftp programs are disallowed to process C<file> URLs
-	at all.
-
-2000-09-12  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* get: userid "anon" if cpan_userid does not provide one.
-
-	* 1.57_66 for the sole purpose of testing the error provoked by
-	the old lynx version. Next version will disable lynx for file:
-	URLs and thus will doubly guard against the bug.
-
-	* untar and gtest: enabled gtest with Compress::Zlib again, now
-	with a test if the file size and buffer size are equal. In that
-	case gtest returns false. untar now also uses gtest ahead of
-	decompression to catch the error condition provoked by
-
-          DB<5> x system "echo -n | /bin/tar xvf -"
-        0  0
-
-	The fact that tar returns TRUE on zero byte input could lead us to
-	believe that we were doing a successful untar while in reality we
-	had an uncompressed file that was completely bogus.
-
-	Once again a big thank you to Jost Krieger who discovered this bug
-	by feeding an inexistent distribution name to install() while he
-	had an old version of lynx installed that did not discover the
-	mistake and created the file as textfile containing an error
-	message.
-
-2000-09-11  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* gtest: disabled Compress::Zlib because it seems to offer no
-	method to test if a file is compressed or not. If a file was not
-	compressed, it happily treats it "as expected" setting no error. I
-	was so sure that I tested this when it was introduced. We really
-	need a test harness.
-
-	* get: New instance variable had_no_makefile_pl
-
-	* get: New instance variable was_uncompressed to later use it for
-	heuristics if we're on the wrong track.
-
-	* If we write a Makefile.PL on our own, we now choose the NAME
-	parameter more carefully.
-
-	* Ask user if he wants to proceed if the CHECKSUM file does not
-	contain data about a downloded file.
-
-	* hosthard: Skip "file" URLs
-
-	* hosthardest: eliminated unused code for is_reachable
-
-2000-09-10  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Tarball 1.57_65 (63 and 64 were not uploaded because I found
-	errors during testing)
-
-	* Bundle::inst_file: cleanup
-
-	* unsat_prereq: decision to accept any installed version if
-	PREREQ_PM says 0 or "undef" or undef.
-
-	* follow_prereqs: broke this new method out of make because I want
-	to repeat it in test. Repeating the check in test has the
-	advantage that the user is reminded in time that still some prereq
-	is missing.
-
-2000-09-09  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Tarball 1.57_63.
-
-	* rd_modpacks: do not let bundles be both bundles and modules
-	anymore. Seems like memory bloat without any value.
-
-	* reload: $last_time was set too early to a new value. It seems to
-	have never manifested itself as a bug, but we now do the more
-	correct localizing of the newer timestamp until we have read all
-	three index files and then set the timestamp globally.
-
-	* reload and read_metadata_cache: extend the index protocol to
-	memory so that whenever a new protocol is introduced, the index
-	gets loaded into memory asap.
-
-	* instance vs set: moved the code that creates the RO pointer from
-	instance to set and commenting the set method to have this side
-	effect. This was the cause for a very difficult to diagnose bug.
-	Thanks to Jost Krieger for discovering wrong content in Metadata.
-
-2000-09-08  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* read_metadata_cache: More sanity checks.
-
-	* _u_r_common: Added informational message about the number of
-	matches in the database.
-
-	* checklock: Checking $fh for undef. Thanks to
-	Slaven Rezic for the report.
-
-2000-09-06  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* lib/CPAN.pm (expandany): Distributions always had the habit to
-	spring into existence, that means, people could say
-
-	    test A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.57_60.tar.gz
-
-	and got that thing downloaded if it existed on CPAN. Jost
-	discovered this was broken. Fixed by replacing an expand() by
-	instance() for distributions in expandany.
-
-2000-09-05  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* undelay: After a jumpqueue we must not continue because success
-	is unlikely. We set $self->{later} and the queuerunner calls
-	undelay.
-
-	* Bundle::inst_file: reviewed the code after Jost pointed out that
-	it was suspectly formatted. Re-enabled the newer, better code that
-	allows for multi-level Bundle package names.
-
-	* Distribution::install: improved wording for the case where make
-	failed (Thanks To Jost Krieger for spotting)
-
-	* Bundle::as_string: CONTAINS was rendered as ARRAY(...)
-
-	* expandany: added a scan for bundles as one could not install
-	bundles immediately after program start but only after a "b"
-	command (Thanks to Jost Krieger for the bugreport)
-
-	* color_cmd_tmps: protection against deep recursion with a panic
-	message.
-
-	* expand: temporary introduced the "=" hack to eval code on the
-	command line repeatedly. Now disabled again to prevent surprise.
-	But as a reminder, I did run this command successfully before
-	disabling:
-
-	cpan> m '=length($self->id)==16 && substr($self->id,12,2) eq "::"'
-	Module          Bundle::HTML::EP (N/A)
-	Module	        Games::Cards::Tk (A/AK/AKARGER/Games-Cards-1.45.tar.gz)
-	Module          Games::Worms::PS (S/SB/SBURKE/Games-Worms-0.61.tar.gz)
-	Module          Games::Worms::Tk (S/SB/SBURKE/Games-Worms-0.61.tar.gz)
-	Module          Lingua::Stem::En (S/SN/SNOWHARE/Lingua-Stem-0.40.tar.gz)
-
-	* color_cmd_tmps: we're now coloring all objects when they enter
-	the queue and we uncolor them when a command is finished. We just
-	need a hook now to check if we really uncolored them all. What
-	should the hook be? i ="$self->{incommandcolor}>0"
-
-2000-09-04  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* color_cmd_tmps: rename the method reset_badtestcnt to
-	color_cmd_tmps because it turns out to be the right place to reset
-	sponsored_mods and maybe install_failed too, and if we mark them
-	as dirty when used and as clean when reset, we might even succeed
-	to have a tidy kitchen.
-
-	* untar: backed out the preference towards Archive::Tar. It seems
-	from reports I get and one hiccups I witnessed myself that
-	Archive::Tar is not stable (sorry, no bugreport available). With
-	the current state of CPAN.pm we cannot afford the additional risk
-	from an external source.
-
-	* Queue: backed out the change from string based queue to object
-	based queue. I made some mistakes during transition and everything
-	stopped working. This seemed the easiest way out.
-
-	* reset_testcnt: introduced attribute badtestcnt for Modules,
-	Bundles, and Distributions and method reset_badtestcnt to get rid
-	of that counter before and after a command. During the command we
-	inc the counter on unsuccessful make test commands. But we do not
-	reset unknown dependencies. During 'make test' we up this counter
-	if test fails and consequently do not repeat the testing. This
-	should now safe much time if, say LWP tests fail and we have all
-	of WWW::RobotRules, File::Listing, LWP, HTTP::Negotiate,
-	HTML::Form, and LWP::Simple in a Bundle or reach the stuff via a
-	dependency. Former versions would have repeated the testing ad
-	nauseam. We now refuse on the second occasion and the user may be
-	required to run something to finish building.
-
-	* prereq_pm: split of method needs_prereq into unsat_prereq_pm and
-	prereq_pm and letting the prereq_pm be stored in the object
-
-	* cpl: added readme and dump to the list of supported keywords for
-	completion
-
-	* POD: documented the dump command in the debugging section of the
-	manpage. Simplified the debugging section.
-
-	* changed queue to work with objects instead of object IDs
-	making it more natural to deal with them. Having the string
-	representation there bit me several times in the past. At the same
-	time shuffled some code from the queue-running loop to the
-	queue-constructing loop thus catching errors before starting to
-	work on the queue.
-
-	* renamed dotdot_onreload to paintdots_onreload. Changed $redef
-	from global to lexical.
-
-	* lib/CPAN.pm (dump): made dump more userfriendly by adding a
-	print statement, it is now a regular command to type C<dump
-	Net::FTP>. But still left undocumented to augment comments from
-	those who read the ChangeLog (That's you:)
-
-2000-09-03  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* heavy re-structuring of Metadata in memory with high potential
-	for breakage. All metadata are now split into a readonly and a
-	read-write part and all objects have a pointer to the readonly
-	part. The Metadata cache logic stores only the readonly part, so
-	that no session-specific data will ever be found again in a future
-	session.
-
-	* AUTOLOAD: removed the autoloader support that was never used and
-	seems not very intersting anymore with today's hardware. RCS: 1.325
-
-	* removed all the %vd comments.
-
-	* shortened all lines longer than 80 characters to make future
-	patches better readable.
-
-	* read_metadata_cache: Introduced protocol version number for
-	Metadata.
-
-	* removing a 'no strict' around the shell loop I do not recall the
-	reason of.
-
-	* lib/CPAN.pm: Folding two occurrances of use vars into one.
-
-2000-09-01  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* lib/CPAN.pm (readable): After release spotted en error in the
-	FAQ about not being root. Improved it a little, added another FAQ
-	and gave it the VERSION 1.57_57.
-
-	* Releasing as 1.57_56 as candidate for 5.7.0
-
-	* missing_config_data and FirstTime: declared cache_metadata as
-	not yet stable enough to turn it on per default. The reason is
-	that I want the official external data from CPAN and the generated
-	internal data from the current session clearly separated and this
-	will take another working session that I cannot provide before
-	5.7.0.
-
-2000-08-31  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* POD: Added two FAQs about not being root and about the look
-	command.
-
-	* Replaced all backticks that were misused in documentation or
-	dialogs as pretty left quotes by single ticks. I think it was
-	Markus Kuhn who said so.
-
-	* float2vv: added conversion of float to visible v-string for
-	comparisons. Added some tests too.
-
-	* MD5_check_file: Now die instead of print when the MD5 checksum
-	mismatches.
-
-	* untar and unzip: preferring Archive::Tar now that it works
-	again. Adding extra security check by testing for absolute path
-	and updir.
-
-	* unzip_me: made it symmetrical to untar_me and added a few Signal
-	checkers to both.
-
-	* hosteasy/hard/hardest: now checking for $Signal and giving up in
-	several places within the download loop. Thanks for the suggestion
-	to Johan Vromans. I'd be ready to ask a question where to continue
-	but it turns out to need careful wording because the loop is
-	deeply nested: method, host, and within the methods LWP/Net::FTP
-	or lynx/ncftpget/ncftp. Simple wording might cause more grief than
-	just giving up.
-
-	* localize: now setting $ENV for proxies if config has values for
-	them. Thanks for the bugreport to Johan Vromans.
-
-	* checklock: changed comment in the code
-
-2000-08-30  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Applied 2 doc patches by Elaine and Jarkko.
-
-	* Call to force now wants a first argument and this was not there.
-	This was the reason why force DIST didn't work. Thanks to Jost
-	Krieger for the bugreport.
-
-	* install /xyz/ always needlessly went down the wrong path of
-	trying to download "/xyz/". We're now catching this mistake
-	earlier. Thanks to Jost Krieger for he idea.
-
-	* changed the messages on a failure of make in test and install
-	from "Oops" to something much more certifying. Thanks to Jost
-	Krieger for the idea.
-
-	* in vcmp short circuit for equality for speedup. Thanks to Jost
-	Krieger for the idea.
-
-2000-08-27  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Releasing as 1.57_53 without enough testing in the hope that I
-	can test more the next days and maybe others can test a little.
-
-	* CPAN::Distribution did not handle the force_update attribute
-	correctly: it was never reset to false. Tried to fix that at the
-	end of sub install and by limiting the scope of the force_update
-	attribute to install, not to make anymore. Thirdly, the places
-	where we leave the make, test or install by means of the signal
-	handler, we also reset force.
-
-	* Added a test for CPAN::Version::vcmp.
-
-	* lib/CPAN/FirstTime.pm (init): corrected spelling (Thanks to Ask
-	B. Hansen)
-
-2000-08-25  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* rd_modpacks: track deletes on every reread, otherwise the
-	metadatacache won't forget a thing ever.
-
-	* Fixing Distribution->clean which was broken in that it set
-	"force_update" leading to a mess when the user later tried to
-	build this dist again. Thanks to Jost Krieger for spotting this.
-
-	* Minor cleanups
-
-	* CPAN::Version::readable now picks the head of the string
-
-	* Storable::store => nstore. Thanks to Tim Jenness for the hint
-
-2000-08-21  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Detected code duplication in CPAN::Shell::o and
-	CPAN::Config::edit. Moved everything to CPAN::Config::prettyprint
-
-	* Introduced package CPAN::Version which fixed and extended the
-	support for v-strings. Old perls should not be affected at all and
-	new perls should be protected against broken displays. New perls
-	should also "do the right thing" as soon as the index files write
-	"v1.0" for the literal v1.0 . Seems now feature-complete to me.
-	Next thing to do is upgrade PAUSE and see what happens.
-
-	* Applied a patch by Slaven Rezic to allow cacheing of the
-	metadata from the index files via Storable.
-
-2000-08-16  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Fixed numerous chdir that were not checked for success.
-
-2000-08-13  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Thought about v-strings and their impact. Marked the relevant
-	places in the code with "%vd" and applied some more or less simple
-	changes to try a few things out. See Todo for a few memo
-	sentences. At least diagnostics.pm is now reported fine as 1.0
-	again.
-
-	* Added support for Archive::Zip. The less external programs
-	needed the better (?)
-
-2000-08-11  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Changed all occurrences of $ in regular expressions to (?!\n)\Z
-	which is a 5.004-save equivalent of \z. Thus patch 5406 to the
-	perl core is re-integrated after it had been thrown out on
-	2000-03-25.
-
-	* isa_perl logic was duplicated in CPAN::Distribution::isa_perl
-	and in CPAN::Shell::_binary_extensions. Made the latter use the
-	former. Also extended the Distribution object with CPAN_COMMENT
-	that can be set from the "02..." index file. If that comment
-	matches /isa_perl\(.+?\)/, then it is a perl and $1 is the
-	version.
-
-2000-08-01  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Quick bugfix release 1.56. Thanks to Bruce Barnett <barnett
-	birch.crd.ge.com> who showed me that I had forgotten debugging
-	statements in the CPAN::Module::inst_version method reminding me
-	also that unpatched 5.6.0 still produces warnings where it
-	shouldn't. A quick fix is in and I release that as 1.56
-	immediately.
-
-2000-07-30  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Made completion output for a,b,d,m sorted. I have no idea when
-	this sorting was lost or if it ever was there.
-
-	* Set version number to 1.55 and going to release today or
-	tomorrow after testing.
-
-	* o conf was not prepared for hash refs.
-
-	* Fixed propagation of error report during Bundle installation.
-	Until now recursive bundles reported each bundle's faiures
-	separately. Now callers in addition report what called bundles
-	reported. This still doesn't seem perfect because the report can
-	come too early but at least it is better now than it was and if
-	one reruns the install command on a bundle, the report will be
-	correct on the second run.
-
-2000-07-29  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Applied a patch by Daniel Muiño <dmuino@afip.gov.ar> that was
-	submitted to p5p where a my($msg) declaration was conditional.
-
-	* Applied a patch by Anno Siegel who encountered a rarely seen bug
-	in the download logic wrt. gzipped vs. not gzipped downloads. He
-	cleaned up the variable names too in that area and I cleaned some
-	more variable names after him. I believe, the variable names there
-	were really inappropriate/misleading.
-
-	* Following a suggestion by Michael G. Schwern, I made "ask" the
-	default for prerequisites_policy. The old default of "follow"
-	seemed to intimidate some new users, he said, and I agree, the
-	default should be as little intrusive as possible while still
-	being useful. "ask" seems the right choice for a first time user.
-
-2000-06-23  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Replaced the undocumented old semantics of
-	C<$CPAN::Dontload{"Compress::Zlib"} = undef;> in favor of the more
-	natural C<$CPAN::Config->{"dontload_hash"}{"Compress::Zlib"} = 1;>
-	and documented that.
-
-	* Eliminated all occurrances of E<39> in the POD because
-	pod2html has a bug that mistreats them and we do not really
-	need them. Thanks to Daniel S. Lewart for reporting his.
-
-2000-06-18  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* The "a" command now always converts its arguments to uppercase.
-
-2000-06-17  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Introduced has_usable which is pickier than has_inst. Thanks to
-	a report by Ian Phillipps who reported the Net::FTP/Net::Config
-	connection: e.g. upgrading the processor deprecates Net::Config
-	but not Net::FTP.
-
-	* Applied a patch by Ben Tilly that changed the exception of
-	isa_perl in CPAN::Distribution::make() from dying to warning so
-	that bundles can continue if they contain core modules.
-
-2000-04-15  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Thanks to "Magnus Ullberg" <mullberg@hotmail.com> who reported
-	that configuring lynx with arguments actually works, so I
-	documented it in the firewall section.
-
-2000-03-28  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Change ${DISTVNAME} to $(DISTVNAME) in the Makefile.PL because
-	nmake can't deal with the former. Thanks to David P. Mott
-	<dpmott@sep.com> for the report.
-
-2000-03-25  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Change all \z back to $ because \z is not in perl5.004_05.
-	Thanks to Paul Schinder <schinder@pobox.com> for the report.
-	Update: Later Ronald Kimball posted the better solution to P5P. He
-	said "'\z' is equivalent to '(?!\n)\Z' and '\Z(?!\n)', which
-	should work under 5.004."
-
-2000-03-22  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Both Andrew Speer <andrew.speer@isolutions.com.au> and Michael
-	G. Schwern <schwern@pobox.com> sent me a patch to the effect that
-	version numbers in PREREQ_PM are honoured. Till now we installed
-	the newest version for all PREREQ_PMs. I applied a mishmash of the
-	two patches.
-
-2000-03-20  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Found bug in the changes made on 03-14, the return value of
-	&CPAN::Config::edit must be true.
-
-2000-03-17  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* lib/CPAN.pm: no lib "."; since we do a lot of chdirs *and* do a
-	lot of demand-loading, we need to prune the current directory. I
-	wonder how everything could work so smoothely with the default
-	INC path.
-
-2000-03-14  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Editing the $CPAN::Config hashref had always tried to keep the
-	type of hash values but that was errorprone. Switched to matching
-	/list\z/ in the key instead.
-
-	* Changing the urllist now triggers resetting of Thesite and
-	Themethod. Maybe this needs a more general solution that resets
-	any cache of any variable, but for testing the effect, I start
-	with these two.
-
-2000-03-11  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Added an FAQ section to the manpage. First 2 Fs deal with
-	UNINST=1.
-
-2000-03-10  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Updated the isa_perl checks to match 5.6.0 style.
-
-	* The 02modules... file is now verified against its Line-Count
-	header. The other index files need new headers to verify them.
-
-	* Without any net access we did not make it through the
-	configuration dialog. Fixed now.
-
-	* Apply patches 4416, 4419, 5406 and 5409 from perl-5.6.0
-	candidate.
-
-2000-01-08  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Releasing 1.52 which is a pure bugfix release. New functionality
-	is there but not used or not documented. Should be very stable.
-
-2000-01-03  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Added a CPAN::Distribution::containsmods method that lists all
-	modules within a distribution.
-
-	* reload index now removes the whole old index. No, wait a minute,
-	that's stupid. We want to keep session info. This is just a
-	temporary measure to improve debugging. What we need is "wipe
-	index" or some such and we need it for debugging only. [Backed out]
-
-	* Text::Wrapping output of "o debug".
-
-	* Fixed an uninitialized warning in CPAN::Shell::expand()
-
-	* Protected call to close() in DESTROY with "if defined".
-
-	* Allow "#" comments in a bundle definition section.
-
-	* Text::Wrapping bundle install summary.
-
-2000-01-02  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Overhauled the help page that gets output on "h", documented
-	"get", undocumented "install r", it never worked (Thanks to Peder
-	Stray <pederst@ifi.uio.no> for spotting)
-
-	* ncftpget made to work again by changing directory before
-	downloading (spotted aeons ago by Jarkko Hietaniemi)
-
-1999-12-31  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Applied a patch by Paul Schinder <schinder@pobox.com> which
-	corrects the computation of disk usage on the Mac.
-
-1999-12-29  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Increased 30 to 60 in FirstTime where we "protect" against old
-	MIRRORED.BY files and protect against endless loop if MIRRORED.BY
-	remains older. Thanks for spotting the bug to James P. Goltz
-	<goltz@nfr.net>.
-	
-	* Applied patch from Doug MacEachern that implements cvs_import
-	without documentation.
-
-1999-10-26  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Joe Schell <jschell@peakss.com> sent me a fix that disabled
-	processing of bundles on NT.
-
-1999-10-15  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Fixed a typo reported by Stas Bekman <sbekman@iil.intel.com>
-
-1999-10-01  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Added a posting by Larry as a comment to rethink use of
-	$SIG{__DIE__}
-
-1999-08-01  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Applied a patch by 1999-06-13 Adrian Aichner
-	<aichner@ecf.teradyne.com>
-        (hosthardest): Initialize $netrcfile with $netrc->netrc.
-        (untar): Attempt piping gzip output to tar irregardless of
-	$OSNAME. Run commands separately in case of error.
-
-	* Applied a patch from Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>
-	for unbuffering STDOUT and STDERR to get sane behavior in pipes.
-
-1999-07-30  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Fixed a floating point issue that came up with DBD::ADO. See
-	stringify comment in CPAN::Module::inst_version. Thanks to Lupe
-	Christoph <lupe@lupe-christoph.de> and Michael G. Schwern
-	<schwern@pobox.com> for the reports and Tim Bunce
-	<Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk> for the suggestion how to fix.
-
-	* Fixed my email address in the manpage
-
-1999-07-28  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* CPAN::Nox was broken, probably since 5.005's new AUTOLOAD
-	behavior. Thanks to Marc Lehmann <pcg@goof.com> for the report.
-
-1999-05-23  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* The force pragma no longer removes its record of prerequisites
-	that it has already dealt with. This removes a potential for
-	infinite loops when force is in effect.
-
-	* Added a CPAN::InfoObj::dump method that can be used like so:
-	! print expand("Distribution","JWIED/DBD-CSV-0.1021.tar.gz")->dump
-	or
-	! print expand("Module","DBD::CSV")->dump
-	Not particularly userfriendly, thus left undocumented.
-
-	* Added a check if Makefile.PL really wrote a Makefile.
-
-1999-05-22  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
-	* Applied another patch by Ilya for return value of gzreadline
-	with regard to -1: <19990522144647.A15778@monk.mps.ohio-state.edu>
-
-	* Applied Ilya's patch for MD5_check_file for READ returning -1.
-
-1999-05-08  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
