No changes since 3.29_6.

* Release 3.29_6
The survey() method in Pod::Simple::Search now ignores duplicat
files with varying lettercasing on case-insensitive file systems.
This allows
When pondering files in a given directory, the survey() method in
Pod::Simple::Search now prefers files with extensions in the
following order: no extension, .pod, .pm, .plx, .pl.
The find() method in Pod::Simple::Search now records the './pod'
subdirectory of each directory it considers in such a way as to
preserve its case on the file system.
The find() method in Pod::Simple::Search now tries harder to find
the proper file on case-insensitive file systems when searching
for modules starting with "Pod". For example, when searching for
'Pod::Perldoc' it now returns a file ending in 'Pod/Perldoc.pm'
instead of 'Pod/perldoc.pod', as the latter is actually the
documention for the 'perldoc' program.

* Release 3.29_5
No changes except that the release tarball should no longer be empty.
2015-02-16 David E. Wheeler <david@justatheory.org>
* Release 3.29_4
Removed "Caveats" from the docs. Pod::Simple has been out of beta
for years.
The survey() method in Pod::Simple::Search no longer assumes that
files ending in '.pod' are actually Pod. Like .pm and .pl files,
.pod files must contains at least one valid POD command, as
documented. This brings the behavior in line with find(), which
already required that .pod files contain Pod.
The survey() method in Pod::Simple::Search now prefers files
ending in .pod over those ending in .pm, and .pm over those ending
in .pl, when it finds duplicate pod files for a given name.

* Release 3.29_3
Tightened up the first pass at recognizing a Pod command so that
fewer invalid Pod lines will be recognized. Suggested by Randy
Stauner.
Fixed bug where Pod::Simple would attempt to call
utf8::unicode_to_native on Perl 5.6, where that function does not
exist.
Typos and minor wordsmithing changes in Pod::Simple::Subclassing,
thanks to Randy Stauner.
The Pod::Simple::Search survey() and find() methods now use the same
code for determining @INC directories to search. The only difference
is that find() also includes $Config::Config{'scriptdir'}.

* Release 3.29
NOTE: This will be the last release of Pod::Simple to support versions
of Perl earlier than 5.6.
Fixed test failure for unsupported encoding on Perl 5.6.
Removed unnecessary dependency on constant. Reported by Petr Pisar
(RT #85578).
Many documentation and comment typos fixed by David Steinbrunner.
Fixed issue when an encoding is declared via an '=encoding' directive
*after* Pod::Simple has already detected an encoding. Thanks to
Graham Knop for the patch and Patrice Dumas for the tests.
Added '>&STDERR' as an output to better emulate
Pod::Parser::parse_from_file(). Florent Angly.
Tidied the description of the different Pod::Simple interfaces,
with greater emphasis on the four different steps to subclassing.
Florent Angly.
Added the 'top_anchor' attribue to Pod::Simple::HTML, to allow
specification of a custom top anchor format. Gabor Szabo.
Fixed the text formatter to properly set the Text::Wrap overflow policy.
Thanks to Nigel Metheringham for the fix!
Fixed mis-matched quotation marks when adding JavaScript elements
to the XHTML output. Patch from jonathancast.
Fixed issues on EBCDIC. Patch from Karl Williamson (GitHub Pull
Request #58).
Fixed bug where the value passed to Pod::Simple::XHTML's
html_css() method would be output twice. Thanks to Andrew Johnson
for the report (RT #99303).
Documented the 'recurse' attribute of Pod::Simple::Search.
Thanks to Jim Keenan for the report (RT #91886).
An error is no longer thrown when '=encoding' directives are found
on subsequent lines. Instead, we now log a an error message,
"Cannot have multiple =encoding directives" (RT #91757).
The HTML and XHTML formatters now do a better job of preserving
lines in 'begin html' blocks. Fixes a bug that dates from 2002
(Perl RT#9385, CPAN RT #91851).
