Hi!

Almost a year after the 0.7 I have a new release ready (0.8 was an internal 
release because I forogt to upload it :-) ). This new release includes some 
bugfixes and new features.

0.8  had some bugfixes and some extensions:
- textarea should now work in both forms. Before there was either
  a problem with textareas that included some default text, or
  with empty textareas. Now Form.pm does look wether the contents
  of a textarea is able to perform as_HTML and only uses it if
  it is able to do it. Should fix some longstanding problems with
  textareas.
- ex/yahoo.pl wasn't in the MANIFEST
- added a simple test procedure that just checks if it can be
  loaded

0.9  has some bugfixes and some extensions by Sean M. Burke:
- ISINDEX is supported
- a new constructor new_many is available that parses all forms of
  a HTML file so you don't have to manually extract links any
  more. This constructor handles stray form elements outside of
  forms.
- the name of form elements is cached and can be queried

The new features of 0.9 aren't fully tested by me, so take some care if you use 
them. I would like to be informed wether everything works as expected. Sorry 
for the long delay of the new release.

bye, Georg
