NAME

       CPAN::Changes::Group - A group of related change information within a release

SYNOPSIS

           my $rel = CPAN::Changes::Release->new(
               version => '0.01',
               date    => '2009-07-06',
           );

           my $grp = CPAN::Changes::Group->new(
               name => 'BugFixes',
           );

           $grp->add_changes(
             'Return a Foo object instead of a Bar object in foobar()'
           );

           $rel->attach_group( $grp ); # clobbers existing group if present.

DESCRIPTION

       A release is made up of several groups. This object provides access to all of the key data
       that embodies a such a group.

       For instance:

         0.27 2013-12-13

         - Foo

         [ Spec Changes ]

         - Bar

       Here, there are two groups, the second one, " Spec Changes " and the first with the empty
       label "q[]".
