 POE is due for a round of breakage to make things more consistent.
 
   1. In the wheels, rename /.*State/ to /.*Event/.  Wheels don't
      define states, they emit events.  Calling Wheels' parameters
      /.*State/ is inconsistent and confusing.

      in one big lump.  Has anyone been holding off on requests because
      they'd break stuff?  Now's the time to speak up.
 
-I've come up with this tentative depreciation schedule in the hopes
-it'll minimize people's grief.
 
-  1. Release POE as/is with this depreciation schedule.  This is the
-     RFC phase, and interested people should comment on it.  This
-     may be version 0.13.
+0.15 2001.??.??
+---------------
 
-  2. Release POE with new the new parameters/behaviors/etc. and the
-     depreciated ones side-by-side.  The documentation will be altered
-     to cover new things and briefly tell about the depreciated
-     things.  This may be version 0.14.
+Fix t/06_tk.t to skip if Tk is outdated, rather than fail.
 
-  3. Add warnings for depreciated things.  Try not to make them too
-     obnoxious.  This may be version 0.15.
+Fix lib/deptest.perl to recognize Exporter on Solaris.
 
-  4. Remove the depreciated things altogether.  This may be version
-     0.16.
+Increase dependency checking information on Solaris in case attempts
+to fix the Exporter bug aren't successful.
 
-My plan is to wait at least a month between each CPAN release.
-Bleeding edge interim releases will start off as maintenance on the
-previous version and then become release candidates for the next one.
-If it all goes as planned, this will give people at least 1/4 year to
-update their programs.
+Add /.*Event/ support to wheels.  Code to support /.*Event/ and
+/.*State/ is marked with the comment C<# STATE-EVENT>.  Hooks for
+depreciation warnings are also commented.  Changed the documentation
+to say /.*Event/ instead of /.*State/, so new users will not learn the
+depreciated ways.

 Fix POE::Kernel::Tk.pm so that it doesn't kill CPAN.pm's "r" command.
