mechanize version 2.5 has been released!
* http://mechanize.rubyforge.org
* https://github.com/tenderlove/mechanize
The Mechanize library is used for automating interaction with websites.
Mechanize automatically stores and sends cookies, follows redirects,
and can follow links and submit forms. Form fields can be populated and
submitted. Mechanize also keeps track of the sites that you have visited as
a history.
