Thanks to David Dyck.

2.01 May 27 2004 - Major
This version is a MAJOR revision to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. The
format of the Excel file that it produces has been updated from
Excel 5 to Excel 97. This allows support for long, 32k character
strings and Unicode.
DUE TO THE MAJOR INTERNAL CHANGES IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU TEST
THIS UPGRADE FULLY BEFORE DEPLOYING IT.
Also note that this version can be 1.5 to 2 times slower than
previous versions and the write_comment() method has been
temporarily removed. These issues will be fixed in later releases.
+ Changed the default Excel format to Excel 97.
+ Added support for strings up to 32767 character.
+ Added support for Unicode strings.
+ Improved speed in relation to pre-release versions.
However, it is still slower than the 1.xx versions.
+ Improved OpenOffice.org support.
+ Added more examples: diag_border.pl, indent.pl,
unicode.pl, unicode_japan.pl, unicode_list.pl
+ Changed the distro dir structure.
- Temporarily removed write_comment() support since the Excel 5
version isn't compatible with Excel 97+.
1.01 May 24 2004 - Minor
! Small non-bug fix to write_comment().
0.43 April 28 2004 - Minor
! Fixed longstanding bug where page setup features didn't
show up in OpenOffice.org.
! Fixed localised @_ bug when using threaded perls.
Thanks Tamas Gulacsi and Stephan Loescher.

Thanks to Kyle R. Burton and David Robins.
! Fixed minor formula parser bug.
Thanks Michael Braig
! Fixed handling of column sizing for widths less than 1
unit (again). Thanks to Rubio (again).
! Failed new() returns undef instead of croak()ing as per docs.
0.81p2 - 02/13/2006
* For some reason some IM's contain an extra bit of information
that imcomm choked on, so certain incoming messages would not
be shown. I made tlv_split() in imcomm ignore the number of tlv's
the server tells us, and this fixed it.
0.81p1 - 01/31/2006
* Fixed a bug that made AOL's Triton client ignore incoming IM's
from bsflite.

Thanks to Jeremy C. Reed for providing patches for DragonFly.
if no other packages are using them, but if no other "software" is using
them. Just in case, they are using a user and/or group without a package
using it.
- remove patch-af, as it is already in the release
- take maintainership.
Changelog:
* src/compat/main.c: fix 'isync -w' writing .mbsyncrc to a wrong directory
* src/sync.c: less confusing uid ranges in debug
* src/sync.c: - sanitize flag handling of expired messages
- don't record we synced flags if we didn't
- remove now superfluous temporary rflags
* src/drv_maildir.c: less confusing error message on invalid mailbox.
* src/drv_imap.c:
revert 1.8 - what was i smoking?! the CREATE argument is already quoted;
we just extracted it from the previous command. ( that was patch-af )
* src/drv_maildir.c:
make flag changes unset "new" status - unless a ghost is acting in the
background, a flag change indicates that the message was at least
noticed.
Let the caff package install other gpg related tools
- pgp-clean: removes all non-self signatures from key
- pgp-fixkey: removes broken packets from keys
- gpg-mailkeys: simply mail out a signed key to its owner
- gpg-key2ps: generate PostScript file with fingerprint paper strips
- gpglist: show who signed which of your UIDs
- gpgsigs: annotates list of GnuPG keys with already done signatures
- keylookup: ncurses wrapper around gpg --search
Fix hardcoded path in man pages
caff is a script that helps you in keysigning. It takes a list of
keyids on the command line, fetches them from a keyserver and calls
GnuPG so that you can sign it. It then mails each key to all its
email addresses - only including the one UID that we send to in each
mail.
Features:
* Easy to setup.
* Attaches only the very UID that we send to in the mail.
* Prunes the key from all signatures that are not self sigs and
not done by you, thereby greatly reducing the size of mails.
* Sends the mail encrypted if possible, will warn before sending
unencrypted mail (sign only keys)
* Creates proper PGP MIME messages.
* Uses separate GNUPGHOME for all its operations.
