0.840_01 Tue Dec 21 2004
	Summary:
	- Perl Foundation Funding Commences
	- Changes separated into General and Details from here on
	- Complete re-organisation of the quote-like token classes.
	  Any and all code that works with quotes will be broken.
	- Gave up on the old PPI::Query code and wrote a complete new and
	  much thinner implementation based roughly on the API of
	  File::Find::Rule.
	  PPI::Find uses the &wanted function (which also has a slightly
	  different API to the old one) but has the ->in style search methods.
	  It should be relatively easy for someone to write PPI::Find::Rule
	  on top of it.
	- PPI::Transform is thus temporarily stale

	Details:
	- Introduced a bug for C< foreach $foo () > and caught/fixed it
	  during the changeover.
	- Changed PPI::Lexer::Dump to PPI::Dumper
	- API Freeze PPI::Find
	- API Freeze PPI::Dumper

	- Documented PPI::Dumper

0.814 Sat Jun 26 2004
	- Added the PPI tester, a desktop-based interactive debugger, which
