+ - sixth alpha
+
+ Considerable additions made to the documentation in RPM::Constants, as
+ well as a few corrections. The prototype of the constant() function
+ was changed, as well.
+
+ Several bugs were addressed in RPM::Header, most notably: Error returns
+ now correctly return a value of "undef"; A blocking issue surrounding
+ multiple RPM::Header objects from ftp:// sources is fixed; the mode
+ with which files are opened was also changed to allow for reading off
+ of STDIN. The error-return issue was also applied to RPM::Database.
+
+ RPM::Header now has a source_name() accessor method that returns the
+ file name (or URI) that the header was read from. This is null if the
+ header came from the database.
