1.5.1 2008-12-21
  - Fixed the bug where logins wouldn't transfer from API to wiki again, now part of test 01.
  - Added tests for AssertEdit, maxlag, get_allusers, get_pages
  - Added sub set_highlimits for api queries, since PWP can't tell if you're a bot
  - Sub test_image_exists can now tell if an image page exists but has no image. Also uses API.
  - Added defaults for protection, now uses API. In-house tests exist for protection and deletion.
  - Some variable normalizing in tests.
  - Added testing environment variables: PWPMakeTestSetWikiHost, PWPMakeTestSetWikiDir
  - Reenabled tests for get_namespace_names, get_pages_in_namespace
  - Some fixes for potential race conditions on database replication for tests,
    should not be necessary in real production code

1.5.0 2008-12-08
  - Added a sub get_pages(), which accepts a list of pages and gets each page's
    text in one go and returns a hash. Much faster than get_text() for more than one page.
  - Switched sub protect over to API, cascading works now
  - Add a few more tests

1.4.2 2008-12-07
  - Apparently I accidentally removed get_allusers? Fixed that.
  - Some CPAN testers have been reporting a failure to make the test edit in
    t/02_edit.t so I added a call to Data::Dumper.

1.4.1 2008-11-27
  - Remove my tsting code from sub login, now using an updated version of
    MediaWiki::API to handle cookies properly. MediaWiki::API 0.20 or higher now required.

1.4.0 2008-11-18
  - Fix a bug in get_allusers() by bosborne
  - Fix a bug which made some methods, such as delete_old_image, attempt to
    execute logged-out because the method used to transfer cookies from the API
    useragent, which does the logging in, to the MediaWiki::Bot useragent, which
    does the other stuff, was not functional. This bug only affected non-api
    methods and has been fixed through a nasty hack, which I hope can be made
    cleaner in the coming weeks.

1.3.8 2008-11-16
  - New method: get_allusers($limit) by bosborne
  - That bug I fixed in 1.3.7? I fixed it again. For real this time.
  - Using 'retries' instead of 'max retries' config variable for MediaWiki::API HTTP errors

1.3.7 2008-11-11
  - Minor bugfix in one of the tests.

1.3.6 2008-10-27
  - Added maxlag compatibility. (Thanks to the developers of MediaWiki::API for
    their implementation) The settings are as follows:
      - Maxlag parameter: Dafault 5 seconds, can be configured when creating the object
      - Delay: 1 second
      - Retries: Until success
  - Make test 98 fail gracefully on platforms without the test suite
  - Fix some really weird spacing in the Makefile.PL
  - The other maxlag options, along with lots of other defaults, will probably
    be modifiable in 1.4 with a sort of config sub. This will allow the custom
    configuration of options for WWW::Mechanize and MediaWiki::API, so you don't
    need to go sourcediving or remember the order for the parameters to the constructor.
  - Since wiki.xyrael.net is down, tests 1, 8, 10, 11

1.3.5 2008-10-04
  - Allowing cascade protection now. This may or may not work, since there
    are some changes being made to the protection API.
  - Anonymous editing should work. If you still can not use this framework
    to edit, I need to be contacted. To this end, I've enabled an editing test,
    hopefully cpan-testers sends me good results :)
  - Fix a stupid mistake I made regarding the names of certain parameters to get_history

1.3.4 2008-09-11
  - Some triage after the first CPAN test results came in:
  - Appearantly, get_pages_in_category was running test file 08, test 2, very
    slowly because I was loading a 1000+ page category in sets of 10 pages at a time.
    This has been remedied, the limit is now 500.
  - Cannot reproduce a bug in get_namespace_names and another in count_contributions -
    so instead, if we get weird results, we run the sub again.
  - There is a bug in get_history which was causing weird errors on some test machines.
    I've switched it to use MediaWiki::API.

1.3.3 2008-09-10
  - get_pages_in_category now uses the API
  - Test 8 has been modified to test nested categories
  - Test 7 is now faster, but still effective
  - Bug checking added on edit for anon edit bug
  - Bots now use the bot flag when editing, as was done before switching to API editing
  - Regarding anonymous editing: MediaWiki bug 15420 has been marked as FIXED
    by Roan Kattouw. Waiting for that to be scapped so I can test it and enable the editing tests.
  - Before I updated get_pages_in_category, it seemed to have some encoding errors:
    returning escape sequences where it shouldn't. I'll be looking into its status on that front.

1.3.2 2008-08-30
  - Now logging in via API if password is supplied
  - Fixed an encoding issue in page saving
  - Anonymous editing is currently broken. This is an upstream issue which I am working to resolve

1.3.1 2008-08-28
  - Maintenance: update manifest, readme
  - More MediaWiki::API: blocking, deleting, get_text
  - Add localization for MediaWiki::API. This is important...
  - Update tests to test for loading of sections of pages
  - AssertEdit assertaions can now be passed as 'bot' OR as '&assert=bot'
  - MediaWiki::API didn't localise with set_wiki()
  - Unicode issues with MediaWiki::API editing fixed
  - Fix one warning in edit() - undefined value in string eq near line 252

1.3 2008-08-27
  - Convert over to use MediaWiki::API

1.01 2007
  - Standardized all functions to return 1 and set $object->{errstr} in the event of an error
  - get_history and other _get_api-based functions will now properly escape utf8 characters in the query
  - Fixed memory leak issues with WWW::Mechanize

0.1  2007-08-25
  - original version
