• Release 2.03 -- important bugfix version
• In the previous version, the maxAge method actually read and wrote tho minAge slot in the object! This version fixes that.

        BTW: a 3.x version will be out soon.  It'll be smarter with the
        situations (which the current version doesn't handle well) of a
        feed that keeps returning an HTTP 304 even when we would have
        expected it to have updated.  (That often happens when a feed
        generator decides (rightly) that when there's no new content, it
        shouldn't bother touching the RSS file.)  The current version
        basically figures that until it gets an HTTP 200 (instead of the
        not-modified), a feed can be polled and repolled as often as we
        want.  The new version will instead poll the feed only once or
        twice per update period, even if the polls ever only return 304.

        Added a longish note about "USING UNDER WITH LWP::Simple", for
        when want to just drop in this class in programs that's using
        LWP::Simple.

• Release 2.01 -- first CPAN release.

This version now has docs.

This version now supports etags.

        This version has a larger tast-base now, including even a test
        corpus of files.  That makes the dist much larger, but don't
        worry, all those fat files don't get installed, they're just test
        files.
        
        XML::RSS::TimingBotDBI is in its own dist now, to simplify the
        prerequisite-declaration stuff for you.
