[Number::Format] Release plans

[Bill W. <bi...@wa...>]

I was talking with Jonas on AIM today...  here's the gist:

1. He has a patch ready for
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21382 - that will produce
Format.pm version 1.52 when he commits it

2. We will make minor fixes to the test suite and docs for a 1.52 release
which will be the first release done via Sourceforge.

3. We will switch the tests to use Test::More and clean up the locale
support, since that was written when Perl had really poor locale support and
is causing most of the bugs these days.  This will be release 2.0 and will
also include any needed API changes and bug fixes.

4. Up until now, CVS file versions on Format.pm have been the source of the
version numbering for the releases.  That made sense while I was the only
developer but now we have to decouple that.  1.52 will be the last version
where Format.pm's version is the release number.  After that we can just
manually increment it and not have it be derived from CVS.

Any comments or concerns?
