mechanize version 0.6.4 has been released!

[http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/](http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/)

The Mechanize library is used for automating interaction with websites.  
Mechanize automatically stores and sends cookies, follows redirects,  
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.

Changes:

Nice work on this, Aaron! I’ve become a fan of Mechanize after finding
