This version was released on 1999-11-26.

John Labovitz <watchguard.com!johnl> submitted a patch to change Driver::SysRW's read block size. He also pointed out that Filter::Reference prefers to use freeze() instead of the more portable nfreeze(). I applied a modified version of his block size patch, and I changed Filter::Reference to prefer nfreeze().

There have been no complaints with the 0.07_xx subversions, and they contain useful changes, so the version is bumped to 0.08.

Mentioned the "POE2" project in the README file.

Added an undocumented command line switch to samples/poing.perl that specifies the maximum number of hours to run.

Changed the small/large queue limit for POE::Kernel::_enqueue_state from 32 to 8.

Removed the hard requirement for optional modules: Storable; Time::HiRes; HTTP::Request; HTTP::Response; HTTP::Status; URI::URL. These aren't mandatory for basic POE things.
