=head1 NAME

Class::Workflow::Util::Delta - calculate deltas between workflow instances

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	my $next = $transition->apply( $i );

	my $d = Class::Workflow::Util::Delta->new(
		from => $i,
		to   => $next,
	);

	foreach my $field ( keys %{ $d->changes } ) {
		my $change = $d->changes->{$field};
		print "$field changed from $change->{from} to $change->{to}\n";
	}

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Usually you need to calculate deltas between workflow instances in order to
normalize the database of history changes so that there are no duplicate
fields.

This module lets you create an object that represents the change between any
two instances (not necessarily related), allowing you to represent a history
step.
