New in 0.3.8
------------
* Refactored the module loading mechanism, sharing more code and
making it simpler to use.
* Fixed some bugs in the unit tests.
* Improved the examples a bit to make lifting of code easier.
New in 0.3.7
------------
* Some example code to show the basic use of XPLC.
* Added an addModuleDirectory method to the XPLC helper class.
* Added missing Doxygen documentation.
New in 0.3.6
------------
* Added a clause to the license on the C++ bindings, to allow
closed-source programs and libraries to use the XPLC C++ bindings.
* Build XPLC as a DLL on Windows, and put the C++ bindings in a
separate statically linked library, as on Unix.
* Fixed some interaction between xplc_ptr and the "illegal delete
detector".
* Fixed an issue when building XPLC with GCC 3.4.
New in 0.3.5
------------
* Rewrote and finished the xplc_ptr smart pointer templated class.
* Mostly implemented component categories (missing IFactory
behavior).
* Fixed a few details in the pkg-config support.
* Updated the README.
New in 0.3.4
------------
* Added an "illegal delete detector".
* Added support for pkg-config.
* Re-enabled support for dyld on Mac OS X/Darwin.
* Avoid leaking autoconf headers in the installed headers.
New in 0.3.3
------------
* Major improvements to the Win32 port, including compatibility with
windows.h.
* Continuing work on the module loader subsystem.
New in 0.3.2
------------
* Made the UUID structure compatible with the one in Windows.
* Improved the Doxygen documentation.
* Changed the way loadable modules are defined.
* Moved the generic factory to the C++ binding, making it feel more
natural to use in C++ in the process.
* Replaced the GenericComponent macro with a more efficient and
easier to use IMPLEMENT_IOBJECT macro.
* Fixed a leak when using weak reference.
New in 0.3.1
------------
* Added a good deal of Doxygen documentation.
* Fixed a bug where some symbols where missing from libxplc.so.
* Added a Debian package setup.
* Restricted exported symbols, made libxplc.so resistant to changes
in libxplc-cxx.a.
* Various optimizations to decrease the size of libxplc.so.
* Fixed build system for Visual C++.NET.
* Started the category support.
* Improved testing suite.
New in 0.3.0
------------
* Added weak references and appropriate tests.
* Improved GenericComponent to handle weak reference support
automatically.
* The XPLC helper class can now create objects directly from a
moniker.
* Fixed a problem in the RPM package.
New in 0.1.7
------------
* We now support the dyld found on Mac OS X/Darwin.
* Optimized IID storage for space and time as best as humanly
possible and usable.
* Enabled generation of position-independent code (allows for more
sharing between processes, but is almost 20% bigger, can be
disabled).
* Added an XPLC helper class, that provides shortcuts to many often
used operations and also takes care of proper lifetime of the
service manager reference.
* Some bugs fixed.
New in 0.1.6
------------
* Added a (still experimental) smart pointer templated class.
* Fixed a large number of leaks, thanks to Valgrind.
* Simplified building on Windows.
* Added support for number of new platforms.
* Switched to autoconf 2.5x.
* Added support for building without dynamic loading support.
* Code cleanups.
* Improved Standard C++ correctness.
* Created a new libxplc-cxx.a library that contains the code for the
C++ bindings.
* Added a "create" templated helper function to create instances of
components quickly and easily.
* Improved GenericComponent to also automate getInterface
implementation.
* Added a Perl script to convert the output of "uuidgen" to a C
definition.
* Improved the dependencies generation (now compatible with gcc 3).
* Fixed various small bugs and warnings.
New in 0.1.5
------------
* Added an RPM package spec file.
* Improved general portability.
* Fixed the Win32 port and added Visual Studio 2002 project files.
New in 0.1.4
------------
* Added the long awaited module loader, that will load modules from a
given directory.
* Combined the unit tests into a single binary.
* Fixed a number of bugs, including a number of memory leaks found
using Valgrind.
* Various evolutive reorganizations and clarifications.
* Added support for FreeBSD.
New in 0.1.3
------------
* Added a way to mark unstable interfaces as such, so that you cannot
accidentally use an unstable interface (there is a 'configure'
switch to allow unstable interfaces, and unstable releases of XPLC
have it enabled by default).
* Added an "uninstall" make target.
* Renamed the static library libxplc.a and added a libxplc_s.a
symbolic link pointing to it.
* Added a platform-independent dlopen/LoadLibrary abstraction.
* Changed the simple dynamic loader so that it does not require a
different binary interface from modules.
* Started laying down a binary interface for modules.
* Improved testing suite.
New in 0.1.2
------------
* Added a moniker interface and resolving service.
* Added a "new" moniker that creates an instance from a factory
moniker.

to itself and never release it.
