2008-03-12  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>

	* release 1.92_58: bugfix

	* new module CPAN::PERL5INC repleaces the current PERL5INC stuff for
	larger numers of directories involved

	* force pragma can now override the effect of 'disabled' in distroprefs
	(David Golden)

	* speed up find_perl by caching absolute path in $^X (discovered by
	Slaven Rezic)

	* new FAQ entries about the build directory

	* now with 284 distroprefs files

2008-02-27  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>

	* release 1.92_57: getting closer to 1.93

	* address #32823: fix a (rare) case where the make_args were appended to
	the commandline on the call to ./Build (reported by David Golden and
	Michael Schwern)

	* applied a patch from Randy Kobes to update index before a query when
	CPAN::SQLite is active

	* added 'halt_on_failure' config option to halt queue processing after
	the first failure rather than processing all remaining items
	(patch by David Golden; requested by Andrew Hampe and Matisse Enzer)

	* address #33505: allow empty passwords in the config and pass proxy
	data through to curl (suggestions by kevinarpe)

	* new diagnostics when CPAN.pm is required a second time. Introduce a
	sleep period when it is required several times because then a loop might
	be the cause and this might provide a clue to the user.

	* address #32525: when running the 'r' command, try to display the
	module name that is best suited for the distribution name (suggestion
	and prove of concept implementation by imacat)

	* speed up distroprefs on eexpect/anyorder by reducing timeout to 1
	second and retrying until full timeout reached

	* address 32923: allow =head1 CONTENT without regard to case (David
	Wheeler)

	* Now with 277 distroprefs files

2008-02-04  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>

	* release 1.92_56: unstable release both bugfixes and new features

	* addressing #32841: fixing wrong usage of HOME vs File::HomeDir spotted
	by Randy Kobes based on a bugreport by David Wheeler; with help from
	Schwern and Adam Kennedy and I'm sure this will need more iterations.

	* added 'trust_test_report_history' config option; when set, CPAN will
	skip tests for a distribution and rely on test report results if a prior
	test report is found; requires CPAN::Reporter 1.07_02

	* protect against the infamous bug in Safe 2.13 that causes data
	corruption and ugly error messages like unknown method version::("")) or
	some such

	* let people disable the direct usage of gzip and tar by supplying a
	whitespace config variable

	* improvements to PPM support by Randy Kobes

	* now with 274 distroprefs files

	* regain 5.6.1 compatibility in the testsuite

	* improve diagnostics in t/31sessions.t to understand better what's up
