+ + Add : m{send,recv} will croak() if any of their arguments is invalid.
+ + Chg : The requirements to pass the speed test were lowered.
+ + Doc : Typos in POD.
+ + Fix : You can now send "0" as a valid message.
+ + Fix : I lied, t/02-sigusr.t wasn't really gone.
+ + Fix : while ($speed > 1) { $speed /= 2 } ok($speed >= 1); never fails.

+ Add : Test for SUGUSR{1,2} in Makefile.PL.
+ Add : Unicode support. Enabled by passing utf8 => 1 to m{send,recv}.
+ Doc : <apeiron> Prof_Vince, 'truely' isn't a word.
+ Fix : t/11-speed.t didn't fail properly (as if those tests don't fail
enough yet!).
- + Rem : t/02-sigusr.t, as it just seems to fail everywhere.
+ + Fix : t/02-sigusr.t didn't check properly the returned value.

+ Chg : Better t/10-base.t... Or at least, I hope so.
