+1.06 IN PROGRESS
+ - Avoid mixed statement/declaration in ZOOM.xs. *sigh* Why
+ the heck GCC allows this by default I will never understand.
+ - Add (commented out) OPTIMIZE option to Makefile.PL, to turn
+ on -Wdeclaration-after-statement, which makes mixed
+ statement/declaration illegal.

+1.05 Wed Apr 12 13:31:27 BST 2006
+ - Implementation of asynchronous events! The Net::Z3950::ZOOM
+ interface provides this through the event, last_event() and
+ event_str() functions. The ZOOM interface provides it
+ through the ZOOM::event() and ZOOM:event_str() functions,
+ and the ZOOM::Connection class's last_event() function.
+ - New sample programs added illustrating both asynchronous
+ interfaces: samples/net-z3950-zoom/zoomtst3.pl and
+ samples/zoom/zoomtst3.pl respectively. Additional sample
+ programs "async.pl" and "trivial-async.pl" for the ZOOM
+ interface only, the latter being a "shortest possible
+ broadcast search application".
+ - Added documentation on writing asynchronous applications.
+ - Added test-scripts "t/19-events.t" and "t/29-event.t" for
+ events on an asynchronous connection.
+ - Fix ZOOM::Connection::new so that options are handled in
+ accordance with the documentation: applied _before_ the
+ connection is forged, so that "async" and similar options
+ can take effect.
+
+1.04 Mon Apr 3 14:56:11 BST 2006
+ - The ZOOM-Perl layer now provides access to the underlying
+ ZOOM-C's character-translation functionality, through new
+ optional arguments to ZOOM::Record's render() and raw()
+ methods, and a new underlying get() method.
