A while back we worked through the pull request queue. This allowed us to look at tidying the code base without breaking people's outstanding PRs. Mechanize now is completely tidy using Perl::Tidy and tidyall, and all code must adhere to the perltidyrc when you submit a new PR.

We hope this change will make the code more readable and help people submitting PRs in the future. There are no functional changes in this release.

The documentation for storing response contents in a file via :content-file now explains that content encoding such as gzip will be retained and written to disk. This was contributed by bscan, the author of Perl Navigator (see youtube.com/watch?v=ENN05EhB… for more on his great work).

And finally there are various POD fixes, as well as a more detailed explanation of the select() method and its host of different argument formats.

There are various HTML::Form::Input based classes in the distribution. These used to all live in the main Form module file. They now all have their own files, which is much easier to maintain. The documentation remains on one page, because that seemed easier to use.

Finally, I have perltidied the codebase for HTML::Form. I should probably make a pun about formatting, but I guess I'm too formal to do that. Anyway, a lot of that code was over 20 years old, and now my name is on all of it. 😱

Just hearing about this today. If you do use Twitter as your primary MetaCPAN login, now would be a good time to add another method to that list.
Replying to @markjgardner
@metacpan has one week to migrate and inform any users to use a different login method than @Twitter. If you use your Twitter account to log in there, help them along and switch it to the only other choices, @github or @Google.
