 *
 * Changes
 * -------
 * 22-Nov-2002 : Initial version completed
 *    Jan 2003 : Optimized advanceTime(), added implemnt'n of RangeInfo intfc
 *               (using cached values for min, max, and range); also added
 *               getOldestIndex() and getNewestIndex() ftns so client classes
 *               can use this class as the master "index authority".
 * 22-Jan-2003 : Made this class stand on its own, rather than extending
 *               class FastTimeSeriesCollection
 * 31-Jan-2003 : Changed TimePeriod --> RegularTimePeriod (DG);
 * 13-Mar-2003 : Moved to com.jrefinery.data.time package (DG);
 * 29-Apr-2003 : Added small change to appendData method, from Irv Thomae (DG);
 * 19-Sep-2003 : Added new appendData method, from Irv Thomae (DG);
 * 05-May-2004 : Now extends AbstractIntervalXYDataset.  This also required a
 *               change to the return type of the getY() method - I'm slightly
 *               unsure of the implications of this, so it might require some
 *               further amendment (DG);
 * 15-Jul-2004 : Switched getX() with getXValue() and getY() with 
 *               getYValue() (DG);
 * 11-Jan-2004 : Removed deprecated code in preparation for the 1.0.0 
 *               release (DG);
 * 02-Feb-2007 : Removed author tags all over JFreeChart sources (DG);
