* no changes against 1.92_66 except in the distroprefs directory (which
is not used by default)
* highlights include:
* selection of displayed modules during the 'r' command more intuitive
(at the same time order of modules changed because we run two passes)

tests that load prerequisite modules with "-M" on a command line.
* fixed some localization bugs seen on 5.6.2 (David Golden)

* address #34102: wrong diagnostic message when no META.yml was there

by Form-Processor-Model-DBIC-0.01)

confuse some svn clients
* experimental support for optional_features in META.yml (pre-alpha)
* now with 287 distroprefs files
2008-03-12 Andreas J. Koenig <[email protected]>
* release 1.92_58: bugfix

data through to curl (suggestions by kevinarpe)

sleep period when it is required several times because then a loop might
be the cause and this might provide a clue to the user.
* address #32525: when running the 'r' command, try to display the
module name that is best suited for the distribution name (suggestion
and prove of concept implementation by imacat)
* speed up distroprefs on eexpect/anyorder by reducing timeout to 1
second and retrying until full timeout reached

Wheeler)

* addressing #32841: fixing wrong usage of HOME vs File::HomeDir spotted
by Randy Kobes based on a bugreport by David Wheeler; with help from
Schwern and Adam Kennedy and I'm sure this will need more iterations.
* added 'trust_test_report_history' config option; when set, CPAN will
skip tests for a distribution and rely on test report results if a prior
test report is found; requires CPAN::Reporter 1.07_02

corruption and ugly error messages like unknown method version::("")) or
some such
