+	* 0.1.4b release: (skipped a version deliberately for obscure
+	  reasons)
+	* Improved auth & proxies support.
+	* Follow RFC 3986.
+	* Add a .set_cookie() method to Browser .
+	* Add Browser.open_novisit() and Request.visit to allow fetching
+	  files without affecting Browser state.
+	* UserAgent and Browser are now subclasses of UserAgentBase.
+	  UserAgent's only role in life above what UserAgentBase does is
+	  to provide the .set_seekable_responses() method (it lives there
+	  because Browser depends on seekable responses, because that's
+	  how browser history is implemented).
+	* Bundle BeautifulSoup 2.1.1.  No more dependency pain!  Note that
+	  BeautifulSoup is, and always was, optional, and that mechanize
+	  will eventually switch to BeautifulSoup version 3, at which
+	  point it may well stop bundling BeautifulSoup.  Note also that
+	  the module is only used internally, and is not available as a
+	  public attribute of the package.  If you dare, you can import it
+	  ("from mechanize import _beautifulsoup"), but beware that it
+	  will go away later, and that the API of BeautifulSoup will
+	  change when the upgrade to 3 happens.  Also, BeautifulSoup
+	  support (mainly RobustFactory) is still a little experimental
+	  and buggy.
+	* Fix HTTP-EQUIV with no content attribute case (thanks Pratik
+	  Dam).
+	* Fix bug with quoted META Refresh URL (thanks Nilton Volpato).
+	* Fix crash with </base> tag (yajdbgr02 at sneakemail.com).
+	* Somebody found a server that (incorrectly) depends on HTTP
+	  header case, so follow the Title-Case convention.  Note that the
+	  Request headers interface(s), which were (somewhat oddly -- this
+	  is an inheritance from urllib2 that should really be fixed in a
+	  better way than it is currently) always case-sensitive still
+	  are; the only thing that changed is what actually eventually
+	  gets sent over the wire.
+	* Use mechanize (not urllib) to open robots.txt.  Don't consult
+	  RobotFileParser instance about non-HTTP URLs.
+	* Fix OpenerDirector.retrieve(), which was very broken (thanks
+	  Duncan Booth).
+	* Crash in a much more obvious way if trying to use OpenerDirector
+	  after .close() .
+	* .reload() on .back() if necessary (necessary iff response was
+	  not fully .read() on first .open()ing ) * Strip fragments before
+	  retrieving URLs (fixed Request.get_selector() to strip fragment)
+	* Fix catching HTTPError subclasses while still preserving all
+	  their response behaviour
+	* Correct over-enthusiastic documented guarantees of
+	  closeable_response .
+	* Fix assumption that httplib.HTTPMessage treats dict-style
+	  __setitem__ as append rather than set (where on earth did I get
+	  that from?).
+	* Expose History in mechanize/__init__.py (though interface is
+	  still experimental).
+	* Lots of other "internals" bugs fixed (thanks to reports /
+	  patches from Benji York especially, also Titus Brown, Duncan
+	  Booth, and me ;-), where I'm not 100% sure exactly when they
+	  were introduced, so not listing them here in detail.
+	* Numerous other minor fixes.
+	* Some code cleanup.
