0.20 June 8 2009
Most of the changes are from Dan Dascalescu. However, the author found a few difficulties and had to make some changes.

+ added an option to ->retrieve to only fetch the next N expiration dates. If you only care about the current expiration, this makes retrieval a few times faster
+ added in_the_money hash key determined from the style of the cells (yellow = in the money)
+ fixed bug #43145 regarding options with no PUTs + fixed hang on stock symbols with no data at all (e.g. 'foobar') + no longer die if the HTTP request to the server happens to fail + ->symbol('NEW') can now set a new symbol for subsequent ->retrieves + cleaned up ${${${foo...}}} constructs, using the arrow operator + updated documentation
+ refactored code to pass Perl::Critic 'gentle'

Dan attempted to switch from WWW::Mechanize to the lighter LWP::UserAgent for Yahoo! mode. However, this change caused various applications the author uses to crash in addition to not working with the CBOE code. Switching back to WWW::Mechanize fixed these problems.

• Looks like the CBOE does blacklist IPs that pull too much data. Warning added to documentation.
• Added code to the CBOE section that will calculate the expiration date from the month and year if the detail page is unavailable. This was because I was blacklisted in two steps, first the detail page on a Friday, then the main page on a Monday. I was hoping that the blacklist would happen only on the detail page. Alas.
