This version was released on 1999-07-01.

Fixed a race or TCP/IP stack problem in SocketFactory. SocketFactory was firing a "connect error 0" if the server side sent data immediately. The problem was tested on four systems: Linux (broke); Solaris (broke); FreeBSD (worked); OS/2 (worked). Go figure. It should work on all four now.

Modified POE::Filter::HTTPD to respond with the protocol version (hardcoded to 1.0). The wget utility had a problem with 'HTTP ...', and I assume it won't be the only thing to.

Replaced a regular expression in POE::Filter::Reference with a substr() call. The regexp was used to frame input streams, and large structures (over 32KB) were not being framed correctly. This was fixed in a previous version, but the fix was reverted for some reason. The new &get method code also supports 0-byte blocks, which is pointless for a Reference filter, but lets you use Reference as a "reference" for other variable-length block filters. :)
