v0.0.1 - July 4, 2008

	v0.0.1 expands on the capabilities of the 0.0.1a preview,
	satisfying the major actions that are possible in the game
	of rummy: picking up, melding, rummying, replacing wildcards,
	 and discarding.

	Time was lost when trying to migrate to a better solution when
	sending data between client and server, but the worst seems to
	be ironed out.

	There are some minor things missing, such as checking to see if
	the card that a wildcard is mimicing is already in another meld,
	which I feel can be fixed/added when implementing custom rule sets
	for the next release (ie, allow/disallow viewing of the entire
	discard pile).  Also, doing so requires cleaning of the meld-check
	code, which will happen while arriving at the next release.

v0.0.1a - June 20, 2008

	This release is completely new code. In an attempt to have
	networking support, modularization was neccessary. Fixing the
	existing code seemed like a task for someone with patience beyond
	anything I'm capable of.

	The capabilities of the server are limited at the moment.
	Connections can be made to the server and a client can make two
	choices: end their turn or quit. The next step is picking up and
	discarding which involves passing card information. Enjoy!
