# [1]: General Information
#######################################################################
This vesion of the UVM scoreboard is a very preliminary version of the
UVM scoreboard architecture presented at DVCon 2014 in the paper:
Versatile UVM Scoreboarding.

#######################################################################
# [2]: Bug Fixes
#######################################################################

  * Changed the create of the compare strategy to a factory create
    instead of a normal constructor invocation

  * Corrected two problems in out-of-order compare:
    * Incorrect deletion of slave items
    * Incorrect usage of a queues .next() function. This caused the compare to
      break immaturely

#######################################################################
# [3]: New Features
#######################################################################

  * Slightly improved documentation:
    * Added note on usage of the uvm_config_db
    * Added note on when the factory overwrites should occur

#######################################################################
# [4]: Known Limitations
#######################################################################
The current known limitations for this relase are:

  1. The TLM API is not supported. Thus, the user needs to implement tasks
     which calls the scoreboards add_item() method
  2. Only Out-of-Order compare is supported
  3. Only a standard SystemVerilog queue is supported
