2.00 - the databases for Data::RecordStore now automatically
hold e^n bytes, where n is the id of the database.
When items are moved from a database, the file is
automatically vaccuumed. The last id is moved to
this location and the file truncated.
Removed recycling. We are using long ids and if those
are not enough, the implementer can implement some sort
of recycling.
1.09 - added Data::RecordStore::has_id method
1.08 - added JSON requirement for tests
1.07 - updated test to include unicode characters
1.06 - added version to Make.PL
1.05 - added version to Build.PL. changed name from DB::DataStore to Data::RecordStore
1.04 - added license, version and changelog files to manifest
1.03 - added use warnings, the license file and the changelog file.
1.02 - updated the min perl version needed
1.01 - removed unneeded use statement
1.0 - basic API laid out
