POE 0.2804 (or 0.28_04 if you're getting it from CPAN) has been
uploaded to the usual places.  This is a release candidate for 0.29.
Please test it, especially on---and I'm being nice here---"legacy"
versions of Perl (ones before 5.6.1).

POE's makefile includes a reportupload target to assist in reporting
test successes or failures.  Just

  make reportupload

from the distribution's root.

You can find a tarball on the web if your favorite CPAN mirror doesn't
have it already.

Other highlights in this release:

 - Various documentation patches.
 - call() is about 20% faster, which means Wheel-based I/O is also
   improved.  Most components will also see performance gains.
 - The "run() was not called" flag has been exposed.  Tests and
   programs that need to disable this warning explicitly can do so.
 - A new controls/knobs/magic system has been created.  Runtime
   configuration options and statistics will be added to it later.
 - Wheels' /.*State/ parameters have been fully deprecated.
 - POE should work again on perl builds as old as 5.004-ish.
 - POE should install via CPAN on the most recent ActivePerl build.

Thanks.
