[STILL BROKEN]
t/local/click_button.t is still failing its tests for calling ->click
on an HTML::Form object. I suspect this is an LWP change, but I
haven't dug into it enough yet.

[FIXES]
Fixed the bad credentials API that stomped on LWP::UserAgent's
credentials() method. Thanks to Max Maschien and Matt Lawrence.

The $mech->links method now finds links. Thanks
to H.Merijn Brand.

Makefile.PL explicitly requires Perl 5.8.0.

URI.pm has to be version 1.36 or else URIs don't get encoded
correctly.

LWP has to be 5.819 or we have encoding problems.

[FIXES]
Page history is now working much better. The $mech->back() method
should behave more like a browser now. Most notably, it no longer
restores the cookie state, just like your browser doesn't restore
cookie state when you page back. It also should use much less
memory.

[THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE]
WWW::Mechanize now requires version 5.815 of LWP. This in itself
may cause problems for you because of changes in how LWP does
authentication.

[THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE]
The autocheck argument to the constructor is now ON by default,
unless WWW::Mechanize is being subclassed. There are so many new
programmers whose ->get() calls fail unchecked that I'm now putting
on the seat belts for them.

[FIXES]
I do believe we are on the way to having all the encoding problems
ironed out. This version incorporates a patch from here:
