Fixed February options retreival. 0.21 May 11 2010 Fixed Yahoo date parsing. 0.20 June 8 2009 Most of the changes are from Dan Dascalescu. However, the author found a few difficulties and had to make some changes. + added an option to ->retrieve to only fetch the next N expiration dates. If you only care about the current expiration, this makes retrieval a few times faster + added in_the_money hash key determined from the style of the cells (yellow = in the money) + fixed bug #43145 regarding options with no PUTs + fixed hang on stock symbols with no data at all (e.g. 'foobar') + no longer die if the HTTP request to the server happens to fail + ->symbol('NEW') can now set a new symbol for subsequent ->retrieves + cleaned up ${${${foo...}}} constructs, using the arrow operator + updated documentation + refactored code to pass Perl::Critic 'gentle' Dan attempted to switch from WWW::Mechanize to the lighter LWP::UserAgent for Yahoo! mode. However, this change caused various applications the author uses to crash in addition to not working with the CBOE code. Switching back to WWW::Mechanize fixed these problems. 0.14 Jan 8 2008 - Fixed Proxy setting 0.13 Jan 8 2008 - Added Proxy setting 0.12 Jul 8 2007 - Query code now returns immediately if first HTTP retrieval fails. Fixes occasional query hang. - Documentation fixes. 0.11 Jun 1 2007 - Looks like the CBOE *does* blacklist IPs that pull too much data. Warning added to documentation. - Added code to the CBOE section that will calculate the expiration date from the month and year if the detail page is unavailable. This was because I was blacklisted in two steps, first the detail page on a Friday, then the main page on a Monday. I was hoping that the blacklist would happen only on the detail page. Alas. 0.10 Sat Apr 21 08:49:04 2007 - First Release; created by h2xs 1.23 with options -b 5.6.1 -AX Finance::QuoteOptions
