0.01_06  Mon Mar 17 00:56:09 2003
         - improved error handling of NNTP functions
         - comprehensive NNTP logging has been added
         - a significant bug with NNTP processing has been fixed; this would
           cause channel 'cpan upload' informs to take systematically longer
           to actually post
         - Bot::BasicBot has been patched too extensively to maintain it as a
           dependency, not to mention the further patching it needs, therefore
           it has been bundled, and will eventually be further integrated, and
           perhaps rewritten
         - logging format further improved; entries are now timestamped,
           communications to the bot are wrapped in => <='s, and we no longer
           log channel chatter, unless we were specifically addressed or if
           debugging is enabled
         - fixed several bugs that would generate uninitialized value errors
         - fixed a minor issue with _get_details in which it was not reporting
           that a module was invalid
         - doubled the number of tests
         - made further improvements to the POD
         - added 'debug' option to the constructor. if this is enabled you will
           get *extremely* verbose debugging output
         - added 'policy' option to the constructor (see POD)
         - added 'search_max_results' to the constructor
         - added 'rt' command - gets url of a dist's request tracker page
         - added 'whois' command - gets a name/email from a CPAN ID
         - added 'search' command - returns modules that match a regex
         - added 'readme' command - returns README for a module via DCC CHAT

         - new patches for both POE::Component::IRC, and Bot::BasicBot are
           included. you'll need to reinstall both distributions from scratch,
           and re-patch both with the new patches
         - if the patches are not correctly installed the bot will refuse
           to run
         - fixed another issue with Bot::BasicBot, this time with addressing
         - improvements to the POD
         - author is now case insensitive for modules and distributions
         - Bot::CPAN is now attributed in 'help'
         - fixed issue where ignore_list wasn't being respected
         - the logging format has been dramatically improved
         - _reload_indices is now forked off so it doesn't block the bot
         - added some real tests, but need much more
         - special thanks to Spoon@#cpan@magnet for pointing out some of the
           anomalies that are fixed in this version, and for beta testing

         - generated new Bot::BasicBot patch; fixes more issues
         - pervase improvements to the internal architecture;
           deep magic can be found in Glue.pm, which may eventually
           be spun off as an independant bot development framework
         - help system fully implemented
         - we now uses notices instead of privmsg's to return data
         - 'recent' command added
         - we now support fully integrated attribute handlers
         - more information has been added to the POD and README
         - many thanks to gilc@#perl@magnet for beta testing
