0.15 Released 12th. of August 2007 (Update not necessary)

- Refactored constructor for Games::Bingo::ColumnCollection so ref of class was
  removed. Updated version to 0.03

- Refactored constructor for Games::Bingo::Column so ref of class was removed.
  Updated version to 0.03
  
- Refactored constructor for Games::Bingo::Card so ref of class was removed.

- Refactored out some code in Games::Bingo::Card, which was commented as
  unimplemented, I cannot remember what and why so it goes

- Refactored constructor for Games::Bingo so ref of class was removed

- Added test inheritance t/MyBingo.pm and t/inheritance.t

- Added more tests of Games::Bingo in general adding to overall coverage

- Refactored out check for parameter, which would always be set

- Fixed a problem in Build.PL scripts directory no longers existing, 
  bingo.pl is located in bin, this should address the high magnitude 
  of failing tests


0.14 Released 8th. of August 2007 (Update not necessary)

- NB! a minor API change, the splitnumber method has moved from
  Games::Bingo::Card to Games::Bingo
  
- Updated Build.PL to more contemporary version

- Updated MANIFEST.SKIP to more contemporary version

- Applied minor POD patch from Mike Castle to Card.pm and Bingo.pm

- Cleaned out use lib statements from t/*.t files

- Cleaned some more of the tests

- Added scripts statement to Build.PL, to avoid problems with auto generated
  Makefile.PL, when this is enabled in Build.PL

- Due to problems with coverage testing, module coverage showing up as n/a for
  some of the core classes I decided to clean up the code a bit. Coverage now
  works and the problem seemed to be circular usage of modules, more details
  on the cleaning below
  
- I have refactored Games::Bingo so it no longer inherits from
  Games::Bingo::Card
  
- Method splitnumber has moved from Games::Bingo::Card to Games::Bingo
  test t/card_splitnumber.t removed and introduced new test
  t/bingo_splitnumber.t instead
  
- Fixed some broken tests, they showed their ugly face when refactoring

- Added POD on test coverage

0.12 Released 31st. of January 2004 (Update not necessary)

- According to my fellow Copenhagen Perl Monger Kim Hansen, the actual
  number of numbers in a bingo card is 15 not 12, so I have update
  G::B::Constants and fixed to test to use G::B::Constants.


0.11 Released 25th. of January 2004 (Update only necessary for Perl 5.005_03)

- Started implementing the new Games::Bingo::Card class aswell as the
  different games (1, 2 and full card).
  
- Merged Games::Bingo::Card and Games::Bingo::Print::Card obsoleting
  the latter, this also means migrating the test files related to
  Games::Bingo::Print::Card to Games::Bingo

- Removed _generate from Games::Bingo::Card

- Added Games::Bingo::Constants, introducing these constants:

	NUMBER_OF_NUMBERS == 90
	NUMBER_OF_NUMBERS_IN_ROW == 4

  found in 0.08
