[Marcel Ruff <ruff at swand.lake.de>]

Hi,

release 0.74 is out!

Changes for 0.74 [Feb.29, 2000]
==============================
   - New XML based requirements framework.
     See xmlBlaster/doc/requirements

   - 'Fail save' client connection for Java clients added.
     Clients begin polling and automatic local recording of messages
     if xmlBlaster server disappears.
     See CorbaConnection.java

   - INSTALL.win file (Thanks to Peter Roth)

   - C++ POA demo client added [Michele]
     See xmlBlaster/testsuite/c++

   - Recorder to record/playback of messages in slow/fast motion added.
     See InvocationRecorder.java

   - CorbaConnection: logout(boolean) deprecated -> use logout() now.

   - Changed xmlBlaster.idl: messageUnit    -> msgUnit
                             messageUnitArr -> msgUnitArr
     Case does not matter, IDL is case insensitive when detecting name
     clashes.
     (Thanks to Michele Laghi)

     See xmlBlaster/doc/developer-guidelines.html

   - Set up xmlBLaster to use Ant as it's build system [James]
