0.07 02/11/2007

0.06 31/10/2007

simplified colour code checks.
added tests for colour matching.
commented out the debugging as this should only be used as a last resort if things are going wrong.
added support for using crosses to disquish data sets.
Devel::Cover = 95.8%

0.05 31/10/2007

added support for user colours of the format abcd12 or 'fd3'
added examples, more to follow
notches now added to filled charts
disabled the Linux MD5 check for the image created with defaults, as the different variants of Linux appear to create slightly different files. For OSs without an MD5 check we now print diagnostic info, which can be forwarded to me for future releases.
realigned the scale values and the top label to better positions.
added TODO section in POD.
added checks to ensure PNG and JPEG output support is provided.
added support for output formats GIF and GD.
changed tests to use GD for MD5 checks, as support these is more likely to exist :)

0.04 12/06/2007

Minor document changes to complete the handover of maintenance from Aaron to Barbie.

0.03 10/06/2007

Fixed image size to be either the width and height specified by the user, or creates a default size based on the minimum allowed.
Scales the graph based on the width and height, rather than always being the minimum.
Scale fonts according to the size of the graph.
Fixed colour list to always be greater than the data sets.
Allow user to specify background colour.
Legend and Title both optional.
Draw spines last if in Fill mode.
Cleaned code to only process scale values once.
Minor POD updates.
Fixed style default back to Notch, as per POD.

0.02 31/05/2007

Maintaince now passes to Barbie.
More POD
width and height passed to new() actually work now!
Added the ability to specify style and colours
Added more colours (yellow and orange)
Made y_max_value and y_tick_number optional, with the defaults being calculated from the data sets themselves
Added a 'Fill' style, which allows the datasets to be filled polygons rather than a set of lines.
Labels were randomly place, now ordered as per the first data set and listed clockwise around the chart points.
Repositioned the start point at top dead-centre rather than the furthest point on the X axis.
Ensure scale number labels are printed on top of the chart. Note that the outer most scale number is omitted due to it conflicting with the point label.
more tests
