2008-11-18
	 1. INSTALL: Fixed the grammar on installation with the CPAN or
	    CPANPLUS shell, changed "install with the CPAN shell using"
	    and "install with the CPANPLUS shell using" to "install it

	    chklinks.zh-cn.html: Updated information on required and

	    modules, to describe different installation commands for

	MS-Windows fix.
	 1. chklinks: Fixed the "from" address of the user agent to use

	    that only have getlogin() but not getpwuid(), like MS-Windows.

2007-12-05	version 3.08
	Documentation fixes.
	 1. README.zh-*, chklinks.zh-*.html: Fixed the description
	    "是用 Perl 寫的單執行緒連結檢查程式" to "是單執行緒的 Perl 連結

	Test suite updates
	 1. t/01-basic.t: Added test 21 to check if we have exhausted all

	    new_http() and re_http().

	10. Added noreq_key() and %NOREQ_HOSTS to prevent bothering servers
	    that are not available and returning HTTP 503.
	11. Support file:// scheme gracefully.  Added rep_uri() to report
	    the file:// URI gracefully.  Currently tested on Linux and
	    MSWin32.  More tests required.
