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

    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.

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[]".

  Group->new(
      name => 'Some Group Name',
      changes    => [ ],
  );
