    - Fixed "keys" cache action which never worked as documented
      (submitted by Scott Straley)
    - Fixed source references on Win32 platforms by using text mode when
      reading object file (submitted by Michael Shulman)
    - Fixed various methods in FakeApache
    - Remove final slash from system paths (component root, etc.) and
      check that those paths are absolute
    - Fixed all-text subcomponents, by bypassing the pure-text
      optimization
    - Quoted all hash strings in object file to reduce "Ambiguous use
      of ..." warnings (suggested by Paul Schilling)
    - Replaced */* with default-handler as recommended way to bypass Mason
      (suggested by Dirk Koopman)
    - Removed defunct pure text section in Administrators Guide (reported
      by Michael Shulman)

0.71  September 14, 1999

    - Logic of top_level_predicate was reversed in 0.7; fixed.
      (reported by Tom Hughes, Eric Hammond)
    - mc_suppress_http_header(0) was broken in 0.7; fixed.
      (reported by Michael Alan Dorman)
    - Fixed bug in parser section that determines whether % is at the
      beginning of a line.  (reported by Tom Hughes)
    - Parser no longer inadvertently accepts argument names with
      whitespace.  (reported by Phillip Gwyn)

0.7  September 1, 1999

    - Improved core implementation with two new classes,
      HTML::Mason::Request and HTML::Mason::Component.  Code is now cleaner
      and more scalable, and the new APIs give developers control and
      introspection over Mason's inner workings.
    - Added documentation to accommodate new classes: created
      Request.pod and Component.pod, and moved component developer's guide
      (previously at Components.pod) to Devel.pod to avoid
      confusion.
    - Object files have changed significantly (they now return a
      component object).  Pre-0.7 object files will be detected and
      automatically updated, unless you are running in reload file mode
      in which case you are responsible for generating new object files.
    - New <%def> section defines a subcomponent embedded inside a larger
      component.  This allows repeated code and HTML to be modularized
      without affecting the global component namespace.
    - <%args> section now accommodates optional comments for declarations
    - Improved Perl translation of <%args> section (submitted by Ken
      Williams)
    - Autohandler and dhandler file names are now configurable
    - Dhandlers, which formerly worked only in mod_perl mode, now work in
      stand-alone mode as well
    - Interp::exec is now re-entrant with all request specific information
      having been moved to Request class.
    - ** Reworked Parser API. parse is now called make_component, has a
      simplified set of options, and returns a component object
      directly. make is now called make_dirs.
    - Source references now read from the object file, cleaner for a
      variety of reasons. Preprocess and postprocess now work with source
      references.
    - Removed obsolete and undocumented Interp::vars and mc_var functions
    - Simplified chown/getpwuid usage in handler.pl (submitted by Randal
      Schwartz)

0.6.2  August 20, 1999

    - Fixed problem with shared data cache locks over NFS (submitted by
      Tom Hughes)
    - Fixed mc_auto_comp, which never really worked as documented
    - Fixed preloading for directories (submitted by Dennis Watson)
    - Added back Utils::get_lock, which is used by content management

0.6.1  July 27, 1999

    - Added warnings to convert-0.6.pl about occasional erroneous
      component call syntax conversions (reported by Oleg Bartunov)
    - Fixed conversion of <% mc_comp("/foo/$bar") %> (reported by Oleg
      Bartunov)
    - Fixed cache access under high concurrencies (reported by Oleg
      Bartunov)
    - Fixed uppercase <%PERL>, broken in 0.6 (reported by Daniel L. Jones)
    - Fixed mc_suppress_http_header(0), broken in 0.6 (reported by Jim
      Mortko)

0.6  July 16, 1999

    - New <& &> tag provides a more convenient way to call components
      inside HTML. mc_comp still works.
    - The "perl_" prefix has been eliminated from section names: now
      simply use <%init>, <%cleanup>, <%args>, etc. The old names still
      work.
    - The utility bin/convert0.6.pl converts existing components to use
      the above new syntax.
    - New autohandler feature finally provides an easy way to specify a
      common template or behavior for a directory. An autohandler is invoked
      just before any top-level components in its directory begins executing.
      It can display header/footers, apply a filtering function, set up
      globals, etc.  A good complement to dhandlers.
    - New <%once> section contains code that will be executed once when a
      component is loaded.  It is useful for defining persistent variables
      and named subroutines.
    - New <%filter> section and mc_call_self command allow you to arbitrarily
      filter the output of the current component.
    - New <%text> section allows you to turn off Mason processing for a
      particular section of text.
    - Implemented first installation test suite! [modus]
    - HEAD optimization: we now automatically abort after headers are sent
      on a HEAD request.
    - New Parser make() utility traverses a tree of components, compiling
      any out-of-date components into object files and reporting errors.
    - New mc_comp_source command returns the source filename of this or
      any component.
    - mc_file now uses current component path by default for relative paths
      if no static_file_root defined (suggested by John Landahl)
    - Various previewer interface improvements
    - Removed link tags in pods documentation due to 5.004 problems
    - Took out previewer stub from Mason.pm to eliminate "subroutine
      redefined" warning
    - Updated makeconfig.pl to prefer GDBM_File, to avoid a bug in
      Berkeley DB 1.x
    - Cleaned and sped up interp hooks facility
    - Stopped substituting control characters for section strings in Parser
