+Recent public API changes:
+
+- ATM, auth support requires Python 2.5 (I hope to fix this soon for
+  older Pythons).  As a result, the tests are failing for 2.2, 2.3,
+  and 2.4.
+- mechanize.Browser.default_encoding is gone
+- Some mechanize.Browser constructor args have been removed (default_encoding, ...)
+- mechanize.Factory has changed completely.
+- .links no longer raises LinkNotFoundError (was accidental -- only
+  .click_link() / .find_link() should raise this)
+- .get_links_iter is gone (use .links() instead)
+- _authen handler name renamed --> _basicauth
+
+Changed in SVN fairly recently (since last mechanize release):
+ - .encoding() now takes no parameters
+ - i_want_broken_xhtml_support moved from Browser to Factory()
