Revision history for Business::Shipping.

1.07  CVS

1.06  Feb 11 2004

    - Remove Bundle::Business::Shipping (now in its own distro, where it should
      be).
	  
1.05  Feb 10 2004

General
    - Fix Bundle::Business::Shipping
    - Remove unneeded .zip files from data/
	- Minor documentation updates

1.04  Feb 07 2004
	- Compatibility
		+ Scalar::Util 1.10 is now required (to pretty up the code a little).
		+ Getopt::Mixed now required for some scripts.
	
	- General
		+ Created a Bundle::Business::Shipping module, uploaded to CPAN, and add
		  to CVS.
		+ New configuration parameter for this style:
		  service=XDM    to_country=Brazil
		  service=XDM    to_country=Canada       reason=Not available.
		+ Scripts moved from doc/ to bin/
		+ Some scripts re-named.
		+ Rename some of the tests.
		+ Devel::Required patch no longer necessary.  Recent version implement
		  the desired functionality.
		+ Class::MethodMaker patch no longer necessary.  Subclassing is 
		  sufficient.
		+ Remove zip files from distribution, they take up too much space.
		+ Move some configuration methods from Shipping to Shipping::Config.

	- Offline::UPS
		+ Major fix to the low/high number/name scheme.  For international, it 
		  is now handled via split/rejoin, because the regex was choking on some
		  of the country names.  This was causing many zip code combinations
		  (that had lost their "high" in the last update), as well as some 
		  countries, to fail.
		+ Another fix for number range scheme.
		+ Sense validity for several combinations of service and country/zip.
		  (Ground Residential to Hawaii is now "invalid").
		+ New test for the Netherlands.
		+ Update to February fuel surcharge (5%)
		+ New invalid request: Anything but express to israel.
		+ New tests for Israel.

	- UserTag
		+ Add feature for not reporting "invalid" requests to the incident
		  generator.
		+ Pretty up the incident e-mail a little.

1.03  Jan 30 2004    
    - Compatibility:
        - Math::BaseCnv now required (for Offline::UPS to Canada, to convert 
          their witty base-36 zip codes to the lowly decimal number system).
        - from_state required for Offline::UPS.
    
    - General updates:
        - Move many datasets from the code into the configuration (USPS to_country,
          and others).
        - Auto-update function added.
        - Copyright update.
        - Aesthetic updates to most modules.
        - Documentation updates for several modules.
        - Example script added for updating the Business::Shipping module.
    
    - Offline::UPS updates:
        - Bug fixes for International Shipping
        - Add automatic translations for several values (state to abbreviation, 
          abbreviated country to the full name of the country, etc.) -- uses 
          config.
        - France, Russia, and other countries fixed for Offline::UPS.
        - Fix "Multiple shipments to Canada return 0 except the first" bug, caused
          by poorly implemented Zones class attribute: now correctly implement as a
          static hash, accessed by function.
        - Minor fixes: Express Plus.
        - Offline::UPS now supports all services to Canada, which completes all of 
          the Offline::UPS countries.
		- New error message for XDM to Canada.
		- Removed regexp that was causing an extra field to be put in the data.
	      (This fixed a lot of XDM shipments that weren't working before.)
		- Fixed: Some country/service type records were not returning errors 
		  (e.g. Malaysia+XDM).
		- Fixed: CA (Canada) was matching AfriCA.

    - Tests:
      - Additional UPS Online/Offline tests: Canada, Mexico.
      - More tests for Offline::UPS.
      - Updated the Interchange UserTag simulator, and make it a part of the

        - Major enhancements.  
        - Defaults now readable.
