-  * On 22 June 2005 the University of Winnipeg's SSL files were updated to work with ActivePerl 5.8.7 Build 813 (the then current version of ActivePerl). These changes made the SSL files incompatible with the Windows versions of POPFile 0.22.0, 0.22.1 and 0.22.2 since these releases use older versions of perl58.dll which lack some of the features required by the new SSL Support files. This binary incompatibility prompted the release of POPFile 0.22.3.+  * On 22 June 2005 the University of Winnipeg's SSL files were updated to work with %%ActivePerl%% 5.8.7 Build 813 (the then current version of %%ActivePerl%%).
