RECENT CHANGES

(See the Changes file for the long version.)

0.007a
------
• The  location  object’s  hash  method now returns an  empty  string
  instead of ‘#’ when there is no URL fragment.

0.007
-----
• Modifications to comply with recent LWP and Mech changes

0.006
-----
• Support for (i)frames
• The window object is now part of the event dispatch chain.
• You can now run JS code without an HTML document.
• When a link in the DOM is clicked (via trigger_event or the click
  method), it now goes to another page.
• Mech’s link- and image-related methods now extract info
  from the DOM.
• Scripts are properly decoded and are no longer always treated
  as Latin 1.
• The DOM tree’s charset attribute is now set.
• The scripts_enabled method now disables event handlers as well as
  <script>s.
• You can now specify custom functions for alert, etc., via the JS
  plugin even after the JS environment has been created.
• !doctype declarations are no longer dropped from the HTML returned
  by Mech’s ‘content’ method.
• The document object now has its location object set. (Thanks to
  David Williams for spotting this.)

0.005a
------
Two bug fixes:
• The alert, confirm and prompt options to the JavaScript plugin,
  which were broken in the previous release, work again.
• Properties and methods that are supposed to return DOMStrings can
  now return  null.  They used to  return  the  string  ‘undefined’.
