developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

1.34 Sun Feb 22 18:12:54 CET 2004
- fixed CPAN bug #5131 (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5131)
- closed CPAN bug #5134 (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5134)
- dial() now should return correctly after a successful connect,
without unnecessarily waiting for timeout
- updated changes file missing in 1.35
1.33
1.32
1.31 Fri Jan 23 01:14:01 CET 2004
- Improved reliability in answer() method (sempre lui!),
that was more unstable due to recent changes.
- Documented _answer() internal function to get the raw modem reponse
instead of response string stripped of all cr/lf chars.
1.29
1.30 Sat Nov 8 18:23:02 CET 2003
- improved answer() method speed. Now it runs sensibly faster, but needs
explicit timeout parameter if you want to wait for answers (dialing
a remote modem, for example)
- implemented a basic xmodem file transfer. *DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKS*
- documentation now stays only in docs/ folder, separate from main module
- now there is a way to get the raw modem answers (internal _answer() method)

1.27
1.28 Sun May 18 17:19:23 CET 2003
- dial() now works as expected, returning the `CONNECT' or `BUSY'
or whatever message without hanging for minutes;
- answer() routine now is definitely more reliable than before:
now everytime the buffer receives input from modem, it does
not restart counting the timeout. Removed also the possibility
of infinite loop if modem always receives garbage chars (like
on a RAW PPP link);
- Added full documentation for every method;
- Added a FAQ document in new "docs/" folder;
- new(): added possibility to pass a custom log object as `log'
property;
- fixed log levels for File and Syslog plugins. Implemented
correct log level masking also for Syslog.
Device::Modem class implements basic AT (Hayes) compliant device
abstraction. It is meant to be inherited by sub classes (as Device::Gsm),
which are based on serial connections.
