Yahoo tries to place in CSVs.

"make test" thing when ASX is unhappy. Now it still hurts
(because the ASX module sucks), but less.
2000-08-21 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* Improved documentation in the yahoo_europe test script.
2000-08-22 Volker Stuerzl <volkers@users.sourceforge.net>

2000-08-29 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* Rejiggered ASX module to try and make it work again after
an ASX site rewrite.

(old-style) not through fetch, then it would do the right
thing if called via an object. This means that things
like $q->asx(@stocks) work correctly again.
* Updated fetch() method so that it returns the empty list
rather than undef when called in an array context.
* fetch() now returns a hashref if called in a scalar context.
2000-08-31 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>

Thanks to Stephen Stebbing for catching this.
* Updated ASX testing.
* Updated all test scripts to remove spurious warnings under
Perl 5.6.
* Updated ASX module to deal with stocks when they have market
announcements. Previously this would result in garbage being
returned for that stock.
* Updated VWD module so it can parse information from the new
VWD site.
* Updated F::Q version to 1.03.
* CVSTAG: finance_quote_1_03
2000-10-27 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* Updated yahoo_europe test suite as one of the symbols we were
using for testing has since dissapeared. (Bankrupt? Merged?)
2000-10-29 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* F::Q now makes use of a custom F::Q::UserAgent to fetch
information. This is capable of doing proxy authentication
and other arbitary http-headers.
2000-11-05 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* BUG 121557: Fixed bug where the 40th symbol in a Yahoo lookup
would fail.
* F::Q::UserAgent is now ready for release, but is still considered
experimental. Users must explicitly turn it on by setting
$Finance::Quote::USE_EXPERIMENTAL_UA = 1;
* Updated the FAQ.
* Added MANIFEST file.
* CVSTAG: finance_quote_1_04
2000-11-21 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* Extra code to ensure that currency-fields returned by a
Quotelet are unique. This prevents the potential bug of
a field undergoing currency conversion multiple times and
hence being quite off-track.
2000-11-29 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* Updated the URL we obtain currency information to
http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/m5?"
* Updated docs in Yahoo/Europe.pm to note the Xtera exchange
moving from FX to DE.
* Thanks to Jan Willamowius for the above two changes.
2001-12-05 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* Updated the Yahoo::USA source to finance.yahoo.com as
the quote.yahoo.com may become depreciated in the future.
Thanks to Iain Lea for spotting this.
2001-01-22 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>

currency function.

* CVSTAG: finance_quote_1_05
2001-04-05 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* Updated ASX.pm module to reflect changed location of
information on the ASX's website. (Still doesn't
help when the ASX site is totally broken, as is
too often the case.)
* Updated Trustnet.pm module to reflect changes to the
Trustnet site.
2001-05-08 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* Applied Leigh Wedding's patch to ASX.pm, after ASX changed
their website yet again! All is working happily once
more. Thanks Leigh.

F::Quote.pm.
2001-05-09 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>

2001-05-11 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>

remove asterisks from names.
2001-06-04 Brent Neal <brentn@users.sourceforge.net>

* Bumped version number on F::Q to 1.06.
* Updated Trustnet module to assume GBP if no currency explicitly
shown.
* Updated Trustnet test because one of the funds we were looking
for had changed its name, causing the test to fail.
* Added AEX test suite to repository.
* Removed failover into Fool.pm support, as I'd like to do more
testing before it enters the failover system.
* Updated the FAQ.
* Updated the INSTALL file.
* Moved regression tests from /t to /test. Updated MANIFEST
file accordingly. This means that autoamtic installs from
CPAN won't run the regression tests, which was causing
installation to fail on some systems.
* Updated lists of copyright holders, SEE ALSO sections
in man-pages.
* CVSTAG: finance_quote_1_06
2001-07-04 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>

Moved cvs tags in debian/ so that finance_quote_1_06
point to the files used in building 1.06, not those building
1.05.
2001-07-23 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>
* Updated Yahoo::Europe.pm so that stocks fetched from the
Stockholm exhcnage (.ST) are correctly listed as being in
Swedish Krona (SEK).
2001-12-19 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>

Asian stock quotes (not including Japan). Many thanks
to M.R.Muthu Kumar for this patch.
2002-04-18 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>

current functional unhappiness.
* CVSTAG: finance_quote_1_07
2002-06-25 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>

(#666349)
2003-07-04 Paul Fenwick <pjf@cpan.org>

Thanks to Rik Harris for bringing this issue to light,
and providing a correct URL. (#653025)

Thanks again to Rik Harris. (#653035)
* Fixed problem where undefined currencies would be returned
as zero, and not undefined as occured in previous versions.
* Fixed tests in currency.t which assumed that conversion
could be done between EUR and former European currencies.
These are no longer supported due to a change in the
lookups provided by Yahoo.
* Updated Fidelity.pm to indicate its current non-working status.
* Added T. Rowe Price patches by David Hampton, which provide
a troweprice_direct method. (#666351)
* As above, for the Fidelity module. (#666353)
* Accepted David Hampton's patch to Yahoo currencies.
The correct currency will now be flagged on stocks regardless
of the module used to grab them. (#666361)
* Added Keith Refson's module to obtain quotes from
First Trust Portfolios L.P. Thanks to David Hampton
(again!) for supplying this. (#670202)
* Added Ganesan Rajagopal's excellent IndiaMutal module.
(#720896)
* Fixed Cdnfundlibrary to correctly set the success flag
when successful. Thanks to Robert Clark for finding
this bug. (#752395)
* Updated Tdwaterhouse.pm with Robert Clark's changes to
work with the new TD Waterhouse website. Many thanks
to Robert Clark again. (#750843)
* Added the BM Nesbitt Burns module provided by Robert
Clark, including test cases. (#752423).
* Updated BMONesbittBurns module to provide better date
handling, screening out of high-ascii characters from
fields, and removal of spurious debug output.
* CVSTAG: finance_quote_1_08
2003-07-06 Pawel Konieczny <konieczp@users.sourceforge.net>
* Update of F::Q::AEX module: added a remap functionality
which translates the official stock ticker to AEX CGI
symbol
* Update of F::Q::AEX module: Distiguishing indices and stocks:
indices will have "currency" label undefined, stocks will have
value "EUR". This fixes the currency conversion problem for
indices.
* Update of F::Q::AEX module: Cleanup of labels: "offer" renamed to
"ask" ("ask" is more common, besides, it can be
currency-converted). Label "offer" stays for backward
compatibility.
* Update of F::Q::AEX module: Cleanup of garbage in some fields.
(Ocassionally, the http fetch & parse will return garbage for
some values).
2003-07-07 Pawel Konieczny <konieczp@users.sourceforge.net>
* AEX module: added label 'symbol'
2003-08-27 Pawel Konieczny <konieczp@users.sourceforge.net>
* AEX module: following a suffestion of Paul Fenwick, value
'undef' is returned if no valid data could be dowloaded
(previously it was returning empty strings in such cases).
2003-08-31 Pawel Konieczny <konieczp@users.sourceforge.net>
* AEX module: major update: fetching of stock and index options
implemented. POD and test script updated as well.
2003-08-31 David Hampton <hampton@employees.org>
2003-09-12 David Hampton <hampton@employees.org>
2003-09-15 Pawel Konieczny <konieczp@users.sourceforge.net>
* AEX module: major update: additional labels for options available:
volume, oi, and other. Subframes cache implemented, resulting in
substantial speedup for repeating (intraday) requests of individual
options.
2003-09-20 Pawel Konieczny <konieczp@users.sourceforge.net>
* AEX module: major update: fetching of futures quotes
implemented. POD and test script updated as well.
