  	  a string which is not really a namespace" provided by Amir E. Aharoni.
	* Moved test data into t/ and moved speed_test.pl into examples/
	* Exceedingly complicated functions (parse_head() and parse_page()) are

	* Added current_byte and size methods to page dumper.

0.32	Feb 25, 2006

	  the module will get listed on CPAN search and the cpan command
	  line tool.

0.31	Jan 10, 2006
	* Fix bug 16981 - Parse::MediaWikiDump::page->redirect does not work
	  with redirects that have a : in them.
 	* Fix bug 16981 part two: title with a non-breaking space in it would
	  come through as undefined.

0.30	December 23, 2005
	* the Pages and Links class now both use a method named next() to get
 	  the next record. The old link() and page() methods are retained for
	  now but should be migrated away from as soon as is convenient. 
 	* Added list of dump files that this module can process to the README
	  file.

0.24	December 19, 2005

0.22	September 15, 2005
	* Created some new and more comprehensive examples.

	* Updated Parse::MediaWikiDump::Links to new dump file format.
	* Added tests for Parse::MediaWikiDump::Links.
	* Solved a bug: Expat's current_byte method returns a 32 bit
	  signed integer and the english Wikipedia dumps cause the number to
          wrap; implemented a work around for this. 

0.21	September 10, 2005
	* Improve testing of Parse::MediaWikiDump::Pages
	* Fix silly bug related to opening file handle references
	* Found new bug: The links dump format has been changed and the
	  existing code can not parse the new format

	  the module to abort early.
