Revision history for CPAN-Testers-Data-Generator
================================================

1.15    2014-03-23
        - finally upgraded to Metabase-1.003.
        - extended test suite.

1.14    2014-03-22
        - arch os no longer needs to decode JSON.

1.13    2014-03-20
        - enable mysql_auto_reconnect.

        - specify the end timestamp when getting the guids in a date range.
        - store complete report (using Sereal) in db as metabase.fact. Also 
          retrieve and de-reference facts hash from 'fact' field, as 'report' 
          field will be dropped once the 'fact' field is populated for all 
          reports (including historical ones).
        - rollback end timestamp (for now), until storage bug fixed.
        - expand test suite.
