3.00rc1 - Oct 02, 2006 (no public release)
massive code overhaul
This new version is mostly about code quality and maintainability (not new features). The large chunks of code have been modularized into smaller subroutines and tests have been written to test the functionality of each sub. There are now 102 different tests (was 23) in the test suite. Added t/Test-coverage.pl, t/Logmonster.t, t/pod.t, t/pod-coverage, t/00.load

Nearly all the "working" code has been moved into lib/Apache/Logmonster.pm. Logmonster.pl is now a "shell" consisting of a little bit of code and a lot of documentation.

All the functions are now Object Oriented. Time will tell if that is a A Good Thing[TM] but it makes reading the code and understanding where all the calls are going much, much easier. added doc/*

The documentation has been significantly updated, addressing many of the common questions and comments I have received.

The reporting has been overhauled. You still get the same information but by default, if everything is okay it runs entirely silently. A single -v will output status messages that make for a nice birds eye view of your web log traffic. You can add additional -v options for even more verbose reporting.

Interface change: instead of -m for month, -d for day, and -h for hour, you use a -i [hour|day|month] option. The old -mdh options are officially deprecated but will continue to work for the indefinte future.

synced lib/Apache/Logmonster/Perl & Utility with Mail::Toaster 5 versions.
