     * AND curl supports https
    This makes AB more reliable on platforms like OS X when openssl
    is broken without a third party package system like homebrew,
    and on older Perls like 5.8.x where Net::SSLeay frequently does
    not install or pass tests.
    The existing behavior of prefer Fetch::HTTPTiny when:
     * Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL are already installed
     * OR the URL is http
     * OR curl is not already installed
    is still in effect. (gh#93, gh#94)

1.56_01   2019-02-24 14:09:23 -0500
  - Prefer Alien::unzip over Archive::Zip.  The latter turns out to be broken

  - Prefer PkgConfig::PP on MSWin32 where it is more reliable. (gh#82, gh#85)

  - Production release identical to 1.45_01

1.45_01   2018-06-24 08:13:08 -0400
