The "r99999" numbers are Subversion revision numbers.

Changes for current svn
=======================

 o r16909 Java client library: Reject publish() etc. calls when state is DEAD

 o r16905 EmailDriver removed duplicate getAddressServer()

 o r16900 Updated to hsqldb_1_8_0_9

 o r16897 First hack to tunnel callback of cluster master by re-using the slaves connection

 o r16888 Java: Fixed hsqldb shutdown in JdbcConnectionPool.java to release .lck file
          if (this.managerCount < 1) shutdown() to be discussed

 o r16885 Cluster code refactored
 
 o r16870 Cluster: Fixed parsing connect qos in cluster environment (supports now attributes)
          Renamed NodeInfo to NodeConnectQos

 o r16870 Java: Refactored protocol API connect(): removed explicit AddressServer argument (was redundant)
          Fixed SessionInfo.updateConnectQos() so the new connectQos is available during processing
	  Passing now isAsync mode flag to avoid looping connection if connectQos is from client queue

 o r16838 Java: Fixed xmlBlasterAccess.leaveServer() client side memory leak

 o r16830 Clustering: Extended RoundRobin to properly handle domain routing with empty domain
          (support for acceptDefault and acceptOtherDefault)

 o r16804 Singleton approach to avoid race condition which could create two SessionInfo instances
          Avoid max number of sessions check when session is loaded from persistency during startup

 o r16817 Checkpoint plugin: Added client side Checkpoint client.publish.ack (used for cluster tracing)

 o r16809 Added extended JMX access to cluster configuration without shutdown (transient changes only)
          Changed to thread safe re-configuration during operation

 o r16803 Bugfix: Qos XML creation escaping properly illegal XML characters
          StatusQosSaxFactory/DisconnectQosSaxFactory/QueuePropertyBase/QueryQosSaxFactory/MsgKeySaxFactory

 o r16783 Bugfix: SOCKET with XmlScript markup (instead of XBF) configures now correctly
          from xmlBlaster.properties for callbacks and responses

 o r16780 Bugfix: Topic life cycle
          Changed topic creation state change to go directly to ALIVE on publish
	  and not go over UNREFERENCED as this could trigger a DEAD inbetween
	  if destroy delay is configured to 0 (or a small value)

 o r16779 Bugfix: DropIfNotDeliverable mime plugin: Fixed possible dead lock situation

 o r16766 Bugfix: A SaxParseException of a message QoS left the MsgQosSaxFactory in inconstent state
          and operation of xmlBlaster is broken as follow up parses can swallow QoS tags like <destination>

 o r16763 Force AjaxServlet to UTF-8 processing to support e.g. Umlauts

 o r16762 Servlet 2.4 API copied from apache-tomcat-5.5.23/common/lib" servlet.jar

 o r16757 The EventPlugin now sends emails asynchronously from a separate thread decoupled
          over a RAM based producer/consumer queue.
	  This is to protect the xmlBlaster core against blocking or slow SMTP agents.
	  See http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/admin.events.html (mail.sendAsync)
	  See http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/protocol.email.html (asyncSendQueueSizeMax)

 o r16744 Incompatible change of security plugin I_Session:
          1) Added method 'public ConnectQosServer init(ConnectQosServer connectQos, Map map)'
	  You need to add a dummy implementation if you use an own security plugin:
            public ConnectQosServer init(ConnectQosServer connectQos, Map map) throws XmlBlasterException {
              return connectQos;
            }
          2) Removed unused method public String init(String securityQos_literal)
	  3) The method public boolean verify(I_SecurityQos securityQos) can now throw an XmlBlasterException

          Session configuration in ConnectQos: maxSessions and clearSessions can now be
	  controlled in a security plugin to behave for pubSessionId<0 and pubSessionId>0 differently.
	  Remote configuration with ConnectQos is not yet implemented.
	  See ConnectQosServer#setSessionLimitsPubSessionIdSpecific(boolean)

 o r16738 Extended remoteProperty handling from clients (similar to existing jconsole functionality)
          Create a remote property:
            java javaclients.HelloWorldPublish -oid __sys__remoteProperties -connect/qos/clientProperty[__remoteProperties] true -connect/qos/clientProperty[myProperty] AAAAAA -session.name OTHER/1
          Access it:
            java javaclients.HelloWorldGet -clientProperty[__sessionName] OTHER/1 -oid __sys__remoteProperties
          Destroy it:
            java javaclients.HelloWorldPublish -oid __sys__remoteProperties -clientProperty[__sessionName] OTHER/1 -content clear

 o r16729 Added database dead lock recovery, on deadlock retry once.
          Added delegate for DB access to retry on dead lock situation (seldom case with SQLServer)
          Globales Setting (xmlBlaster.properties) to have old behaviour:
            xmlBlaster/useJdbcManagerDelegate=false
          Jdbc specific setting (only if above is true, else ignored) in JdbcStorage[MicrosoftSQLServer]:
            maxExceptionRetries=2
            retrySleepMillis=0
	  Performance tuning hint:
            [ create index IX_DATAID ON XB_ENTRIES (XB_dataId) - improvment not tested] (The primary key must remain a compound key of xb_dataId and queueName)
            create index IX_QUEUENAME ON XB_ENTRIES (queueName)
            create index IX_CB_QUEUE ON XB_ENTRIES (prio DESC, XB_dataId ASC)
            create index IX_DURABLE ON XB_ENTRIES (durable)
  
 o r16722 Persistence queue/msgstore performance tuning
	  Reduced query interaction to 1/3 on startup
	   Cleanup for transient entries in one select on startup
	   Reload of cached numOfEntries, numOfPersistenEntries and numOfBytes and numOfPersistentBytes is now done with one select

 o r16720 EventPlugin: Added $_{loginName} and $_{pubSessionId} support

 o r16718 Replication: Strings containing control chars (ASCII < 13) are now base64 encoded

 o r16712 EventPlugin: Sending now ConnectQos-remoteProperty for callbackState events

 o r16710 EventPlugin: Sending now ConnectQos-remoteProperty preparsed in Login/Logout event clientProperty

 o r16708 EventPlugin: Added recursion detection for subscribe/unSubscribe events
          Added clientProperty '_url' for XPath use case

 o r16706 EventPlugin: Added client properties to event from SubscribeQos and UnSubscribeQos

 o r16702 Fixed MsgUnit - Qos XML markup: escape not allowed chars

 o r16693 Fixed XPath query multi threading bug, reported by John Horner 2008-01-12

 o r16689 Added recursive flag to filewatcher (to scan directories recursively).

 o r16676 C++ client library: Added ~ConnectQosData() because of crash on MacOSX

 o r16674 When an exception occurs in the update method it was converted to a COMMUNICATION
          and the original information was lost: now it is passed as embedded.

 o r16660 Catching client side exceptions of type other than user.* and communication.*
          and converting them to "user.update.internalError"

 o r16657 Fix to not shutdown xmlBlaster for severe client side exceptions during callback
          Problem could not occure for Java or C++ clients

 o r16654 Dead message generation: Now detecting 'isErrorHandled' specific for each
          queue instance (and not only for each MsgUnit).

 o r16652 C++ Implemented same I_PostSendEvent error handling as in Java


Changes for 1.6.2 [2007-12-03] r16646 'Openroads'
=================================================

 o r16639 Implemented I_PostSendListener for java clients and server
          to get notification on *asynchronous* send messages from queue:
	  1. postSend() delivers the ReturnQos
	  2. sendingFailed() delivers the Exception
	  Fixed java client: Now toDead() is called for all erroCodes despite communication
	  The previous code called toDead() only for user exceptions.

 o r16630 C++ client now compiles with xerces 2.8 (64bit or 32bit)

 o r16621 The FileWatcher and FileWriter can be managed by the HTML based replication monitor
          (similar to the database replication)

 o r16621 FileWatcher plugin for Java (supporting streaming mode for huge files)
	  http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/contrib.filewatcher.html

 o r16614 FileWriter plugin for Java and C++ (supporting streaming mode)
          http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/contrib.filewriter.html
          Note: Incompatible rename from Reveiver to FileWriter (attrib names changed as well)

 o r16601 Added Scheduler Plugin: it is now possible to define operations to be
          scheduled. see 
	  http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/contrib.scheduler.html

 o r16586 Added ServerScope (if any) object to Global when cloning Global

 o r16582 Added streaming publisher (which chunks big messages into smaller chunks)

 o r16561 Memory leak fix for EventPlugin, it was introduced  about r16357 (EventPlugin notification when queue threshold is reached)

 o r16532 Logging with XbFormatter: Changed to use ISO 8601 date and time for logging

 o r16531 Added Checkpoint plugin to support tracing the message flow with customized log files
          See http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/admin.checkpoint.html
	  for usage details (and xmlBlasterPlugins.xml to activate it and logging.properties to configure amount of details logged).
          See javadoc of xmlBlaster/src/java/org/xmlBlaster/util/checkpoint/Checkpoint.java

 o r16528 Adjustable SmtpClient mail timeout (see xmlBlasterPlugins.xml example)
          <attribute id='mail.smtp.timeout'>3600000</attribute> <!-- socket IO: 1 h -->
          <attribute id='mail.smtp.connectiontimeout'>600000</attribute> <!-- 10 min -->

 o r16518 C++ Fixed putToQueue(): Now always if POLLING or other messages in queue

 o r16510-r16514 C++ I_PostSendListener introduced
          You can now be notified after a message from client side tail back queue has
          been send to xmlBlaster (e.g. to access the real PublishReturnQos)
          See PublishDemo.cpp postSend() as an example

 o r16506 C++ Timestamp: Fix for time going backwards

 o r16500 C++ RamQueuePlugin: Fixed typo which prevented sending limited maxNumOfEntries
   r16501 C++ ConnectionsHandler: Each tailback msg send from client queue is now instantly removed from queue (no bulk acks)

 o r16493 Dead lock fix between callback ping and reconnect thread (reported by Xavier)
 	  Now all threads enter the syncs hierarchical over the DispatchManager
 
 o r16471 contrib: incompatible interface change in I_ResultCb: needed to make alter table recreate the 
          trigger on the master side of a replication

 o r16469 removed double spanning of poll timer when going from ALIVE to POLLING
 
 o r16467 Replication: fixed in trigger timestamp is always using '.': was using locale punctuator
          resulting in an exception on the writing side. Also made writer more tollerant (would 
          handle a comma now)

 o r16457 Continue loading sessions from persistence even if one fails (e.g. because of changed authentication)
          TODO: Implement generic approach to handle such sessions (security plugin should grant access if coming
          from persistent store).

 o r16449 JMX control
          - Added SessionInfo getCbQueueBytes() and getCbQueueBytesCache()
            These are the bytes of the refence objects only (not containing the message itself)
          - Fixed allowedToReconfigureTopicAndFixWrongLimits() typo at: if (currentMaxEntries > historyProps.getMaxEntries())
          - Added reportMemoryOverview() and reportMemoryOverviewToFile(String file) on node level
          - Added I_Map: getNumOfCachedEntries and getNumOfCachedBytes
          Configuration of 
             persistence/msgUnitStore/maxEntriesCache
             persistence/msgUnitStore/maxEntries
             persistence/msgUnitStore/maxBytesCache
             persistence/msgUnitStore/maxBytes
            and the history queue equivalents
            is now enforced on restart of xmlBlaster during persistent topic recovery
          Bugfix of checkConsistency(I_Map, fixIt, reportFileName) which reported
          leaks which probably weren't.


 o r16444 removed synchronized in CacheQueueInterceptorPlugin.clear since it caused a deadlock
          when clearing a callback queue and publishing messages at the same time

 o r16442 Fixed to avoid remote DNS hostname lookup if hostname given is raw IP
          Added to avoid DNS localHostname lookup if localHostname given is raw IP

 o r16430 EventPlugin: Added missing support for wildcards in event type callbackState
          client/*/session/*/event/callbackState

 o r16416 Bugfix XmlScript over SOCKET: Fixed to use configured parser on callback ping

 o r16411 Bugfix: Fixed XmlScript over SOCKET handling for incoming EOF
          See http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/protocol.socket.html#script

Changes for 1.6.1 [2007-08-02] r16408
=====================================

 o r16405 Bugfix: Added automatical conversion to from Global to ServerScope for native publish calls to RequestBroker
          This had for example inpact when a EventPlugin configuration without a configured PublishQos was used.

 o r16404 Added DropIfNotDeliverable mime plugin: Drops messages if subscriber is in POLLING state
          See xmlBlaster/src/java/org/xmlBlaster/contrib/mime/DropIfNotDeliverable.java javadoc for details

 o r16400/16402 Performance fix: If more than ~1000 clients connect the login got very slow
          This scales now to several thousand clients without performance degradation

 o r16387 C-client library: Fixed SIGSEG and memory leak when the system has no more threads available
          Recovery of such a situation is now stable

 o r16312 C client library avoids DNS lookup if raw ip4 address given

 o r16309 Added server timestamp (ISO, UTC, nano precision) to ConnectReturnQos:
          <clientProperty name='__rcvTimestampStr'>2007-07-09 10:36:38.189000005Z</clientProperty>

 o r16307 Extended C# client library for java like System.currentTimeMillis handling with C# DateTime

 o r16264 SocketUrl: changed the Exception to be a communication for cases where the host is temporarly 
          unavailable. If you have a positive SessionId it will go in polling (as opposed to before where 
          it went to dead)

 o r16283 Replication:
          Added property 'dbWriter.quoteColumnNames=false', set to true for DB2 host sinks (e.g. "COMMENT")

 o r16182 QueryQosData.java: Escape subscriptionId if it contains apos to avoid invalid XML

 o r16181 ServerEntryFactory.java: Changed to ignore case of type during persistence recovery

 o r16178 fix: failsave + authentication errors now kill the connection 
          (they went in polling before)

 o r16170 EmbeddedXmlBlaster: changed the way the global is created since the
          embedded would otherwise use the default xmlBlaster.properties

 o r16168 Updated to ant-contrib/cpptasks from svn 2007-05-20
          To try to resolve C/C++ compilation/runtime problems with Windows crazy manifest approach

 o r16164 C++ client library: Fixed generatedSubscriptionId to escape ' quote to prevent malformed QoS XML

 o r16145 added to get missing code to retrieve also props with no prefix (for example java.version) to Global

          an initial class instance directly after Main(String[])

 o r16130 Extended SOCKET protocol plugin to immediately forward the EOF on client disconnect
          to support callback configurations with switched off pinging  (e.g. mobile phones with high cost GPRS/UMTS).

 o r16078 Update to HSQLDB 1.8.0.7 from September 2006

 o r16075 The SOCKET connection transports the client side IP address to the security plugins
          Extension by Xavier Roques

 o r16050 Prevent clients from using same login name as server cluster.node.id

 o r16045 C client library fix for Win32 and WinCE
          You can now pass raw IP address without DNS lookup

 o r16022 Bugfix C client library
          The disconnect is not oneway (see protocol.socket specification),
	  this bug was introduced in r15972 2007-02-07.
	  Fixed memory leak for unexpected reveived messages (does not happen in normal operation).
	  Increased max. waiting on pending update threads to 10 sec (during shutdown).

 o r16022 Bugfix The new SessionName '/session/' tag introduced a subtle bug which could lead
          to failed reconnect on same session.
	  This bug was introduced with revision r15523

 o r16021 Bugfix & extension for administrative 'event/callbackState'
          It now fires on the initial login a "ALIVE" or "POLLING" event
	  The subjectId and/or the publicSessionId can now be a wildcard "*".
	  The connect and disconnect event now support wildcarded subjectId.
          See: http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/admin.events.html

 o r15994 Added C and C++ project files for eclipse and VC++2005
          See xmlBlaster/src/c/README and xmlBlaster/src/c++/README
          See xmlBlaster/demo/socket/README and xmlBlaster/demo/c++/README

 o r15980 C++ client library: Partially added support for WINCE
          Porting to MSXML and fixing errno.h in omnithread is missing

 o r15967-r15972 Mac OSX c client library compilation patch

Changes for 1.5 [2007-01-28] r15961
===================================

 o r15953 C++ and Java client library now create client side subscriptionId if
          pubSessionId>0 and multiSubscribe=false (fail safe operation).
          Like this we avoid returning a temporary subscriptionId if a subscribe is queued
          on client side (during POLLING).

 o r15949 made volatile all variables which are used in a double checked locking idiom (should be 
          safe in new MEM Model as JDK 1.5) 

 o r15934 Fixed java client library for changing client side IP address
          Reconnect is now supported.
          Security fix which allowed hijacking the callback address

 o r15930 Dead letter is now not containing <oid>...</oid> anymore
          Is send already QoS

 o r15906 Switched off dynamically loadable plugins as a default setting.
          See http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/engine.runlevel.howto.html#dynamic
 
 o r15866 added the possibility to disable going to polling if a response timeout comes from a ping:
          use dispatch/callback/stallOnPingTimeout=true or/and dispatch/connection/stallOnPingTimeout=true.
          This property is passed in the AddressBase

 o r15851 C# client: Csharp support extended
          o Supporting C and C++ clients as unmanaged code on Windows CE and normal Windows
          o Supporting C# as managed code on Windows CE and normal Windows and Mono/Linux
          See http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.c.windowsCE.html
	  See http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.csharp.html

 o r15794 C++ client: Changed PublishReturnQos and SubscribeReturnQos in case of client side queueing
          to be identical to java client behaviour:
	  state id="OK"        (previously it was "QUEUED")
	  state info="QUEUED   (previously it was "")
	  See http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/interface.subscribe.html#return

 o r15750 C client: Full Windows CE port (including pthreads 2.7.0 and zlib 1.2.3)
          See http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.c.windowsCE.html

 o r15742 C client: First runnable Windows CE port (without pthreads)
          Added: -DWINCE compiler define
          Open: Is there any getenv() for Windows CE?, how to handle errno.h?
          Changed: -DDLL_BUILD to -D_WINDLL
          __FreeBSD__ code in helper.c is probably broken (needs testing)

 o r15735 dispatch statistics are cleaned up on the client side on reconnect also, this fixes a failing reconnect in case
          the update had activities, the connection ping detected a stale connection and the update ping did not return.

 o r15733 Fixed introduced error when removing entries from queues where the
          metadata returned 0 for maxNumSequences.

 o r15727 C client: Finished port to VC8 with support for VC7 and VC6.

 o r15713 Cb ignores ping failure in case an update is blocking (no activity). On the client side
          however an exception is thrown to allow a reconnect

 o r15697 C++ client: Added client side queue accessor to xmlBlasterAccess->getQueue()

 o r15684 Fixed I_Queue.clear() of cache queue implementation
          It only removed the entries in the cache but now
          it correctly removes the swapped out persistent messages as well
          TODO: Add a testcase

 o r15682 Added java.sql.Connection delegate DebugConnection.java
          for advanced failure detection (contains assert code only)

 o r15644 Fixed htpasswd plugin for '*:<passwd>' entries.
          This feature got lost during adding of authorization code (see r15446).
          Is now assured by testcase
 
 o r15643 Added experimental maxFetchSize to limit queries.
          Default to unlimited as before, example:
          QueuePlugin[CACHE][1.0]=org.xmlBlaster.util.queue.cache.CacheQueueInterceptorPlugin,
                persistentQueue=JDBC,transientQueue=RAM,maxFetchSize=100

 o r15629 Added I_StreamingCallback which can be passed to an XmlBlasterAccess.connect. You can 
          thereby read messages in streaming mode. A client side update queue having the same
          cfg as the client queue can be optionally used.
 
Changes for 1.4 [2006-10-22] r15612
===================================

 o r15591 FilePoller: Fixed file.delete() with a hack, it failed sometimes on Windows platforms

 o r15587 SQL92Filter plugin has as default now switched caching of prepared query off
          See http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/mime.plugin.access.sql92.html

 o r15582 Updated cup parser from 'CUP v0.10k Parser' to 'CUP v0.11a beta 20060608 Parser'

 o r15571 Changed I_SecurityQos interface to have exchangable SecurityQos for ldap,htpasswd,simple
          This allows changing the server side security plugin (from for example htpasswd to ldap)
          even if the client is not touched.

 o r15563 Bugfix: Thread/memory leak on clients with failed authentication
          and not closing the socket

 o r15562 Bugfix: NPE during callback of oneway messages

 o r15557 Added switch -xmlBlaster/useSessionMarker (defaults to false)
          To switch between old "client/joe/1" notation and new "client/joe/session/1" notation
	  Default is again false to be backward compatible with older clients,
	  should be changed to true on release 2.0

 o r15556 Fixed C++ client to handle 'joe/2' or 'joe/session/2' or 'client/joe/session/2' syntax

 o r15549 Fixed the possible NPE in SocketConnection in case a client wants to use it directly. It can now read the cfg out of
          the Global properties too, thanks to Oliver Fels. 
 
 o r15541 Fixed plugin load/unload/reload lifecycle, fixed plugin JMX re-registration

 o r15534 Added support for dynamically loaded plugins, the jar file is send in the message content
          See http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/engine.runlevel.howto.html#dynamic

 o r15525 added cleanup of reads in dispatch statistics when an exception occurs when writing to the socket (normally by pings).
          Without it clients would not reconnect if the exception occured when receiving messages.

 o r15524 Using now default XML parser of the virtual machine (usually no configuration
          is needed in xmlBlaster.properties anymore)

 o r15523 Changed default syntax from 'client/joe/1' to 'client/joe/session/1
          Passing old notation is still supported

 o r15522 Added default XML parser / XSL settings for IBM JDK 1.4 and IBM JDK 1.5

 o r15513 You can now send messages containing one plugin as in
          xmlBlasterPlugins.xml and this is dynamically added without
          xmlBlaster restart. Further configuration can be done over jconsole.
          Sending a jar file with plugin specific code is not yet implemented.
          Example:
            java javaclients.HelloWorldPublish -oid __sys__RunlevelManager -contentFile plugin.xml

 o r15511 Added support for runlevel plugin activation/deactivation from JMX / jconsole
 
 o r15506 Fixed C client library cast for Solaris

 o r15485 added to MINSTR token for currentTime to the DbWatcher TimestampDetector

 o r15465 receive() leaking threads fixed:
          The I_Queue implementations now fire changed() in shutdown as well
          allowing the blocking queue query threads to return.
          Before the receive() threads were leaked if the queue disappeared
          as a notify was never triggered

 o r15459 Bugfix receive(): Could deadlock because of synchronize declaration in CoreHandler

 o r15446 htpassed plugin: Extended to support authorization on 'xpath:' and 'domain:' specific access

 o r15438 SOCKET protocol: Calling xmlBlaster core is now in a dispatched thread to support concurrent ping()
          and other method invocations. Fixes for example long lasting subscribes and blocking gets.

 o r15419 added dispatch statistic to client dispatcher and added bypass of ping in case there is a writing- or
          reading activity on that dispatcher. This fixes ping failures due to ongoing write/read operations

 o r15413 XmlRpc callback: Fixed to throw COMMUNICATION exceptions on ping or updateOneway failures
          and for update() exceptions thrown on server side

 o r15412 Prevent NPE if topicProperty is null

 o r15397 -Fixed dump to file (added out.close())
          -Nicer, human readable dump conforming to XmlScript markup
	  -Added reference counting check, see I_AdminMap.checkConsistency() and I_AdminNode.checkConsistency()
	  -Fixed to activate destroyTimeout setting when administrative or coming from persistence on startup
	  -Fixed eliminating topicHandler duplicates in persistent store during startup
	  -Changed persistent messages to be transient for session callback queues with negative session ID
	   as those wouldn't be found deterministic after restart

 o r15390 ConnectionPool now throws away Connection in case of an exception in the jdbc queue

 o r15381 C# client library: Added Csharp wrapper around xmlBlaster client C library (xmlBlaster/src/csharp/NativeC.cs)
          See http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.csharp.html

 o r15357 I_Entry.removed is now invoked outside synchronize in queues to avoid deadlock

 o r15348 Increased information density of server side logging (similar to good old org.jutils times)

 o r153xx I_Queue implementation: the toDestroyed() callback is now outside any synchronized

 o r15337 Property.java: when retrieving someCtx* only someCtx's childs where returned, now the exact match is returned too.

 o r15334 changed the threading pool of dispatcher since it was only using minimumPoolSize 

 o r15326 Fixed spam prevention if client logs in after a PtP arrived in its callback queue (with forceQueueing=true)

 o r15323 Changed server side behavior on COMMUNICATION exceptions thrown actively from client side
          Accept now client side COMMUNICATION exception
	  This should only be thrown by the client side low level protocol library on demand (e.g. on socket shutdownCbServer())

 o r15313 htpasswd plugin extension: Added primitive authorization support based on method name and topic oid
          See: http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/security.htpasswd.html#authorization
	  Changed to allow empty passwords (like "joe::") which grants access for joe

 o r15308 C client library: Removed pthread dependency when compiling single thread version with -DXB_NO_PTHREADS

 o r15294 Fix for XMLRPC protocol layer to transform all weired, client thrown exceptions into a "user.update.internalError"
          instead of a "internal.unkown"

 o r15293 Fix for SOCKET protocol layer to transform all weired, client thrown exceptions into a "user.update.internalError"
          instead of a "internal.unkown". (Is correctly done by IOR protocol)

 o r15280, r15288-r15290 Bugfix in xmlBlaster server-core (TopicHandler)
          Major redesign to handle race conditions:
          All access to a TopicHandler instance is no single threaded and done over TopicAccessor
          All access over reference counting / weak references is done as 'dirty read'
          Fixed double TopicHandler unregister on erase(false)

 o r15261 JMX invocations: Fixed invocation with none-String arguments, see
          See http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/admin.http.html#jmx

 o r15256 Fixed switching off erase notification, added test case
          Thanks to Brad Clements for reporting

          to avoid going to DEAD when callback server of client disappeared temporary

 o r15244 EventPlugin: Added fix to only send JMX events when configured

 o r15234 Added java client side API methods for synchronous access:
          Access xmlBlaster server side queues
            MsgUnit[] receive(String oid, int maxEntries, long timeout, boolean consumable)
          The synchrnous request/reply pattern
            MsgUnit[] request(MsgUnit msgUnit, long timeout, int maxEntries)
          See I_XmlBlasterAccess.java

 o r15220 Added possibility to configure to send XmlBlaster script markup over the SOCKET protocol layer
          with all benefits like tunneling back, compression and SSL
          See http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/protocol.socket.html#script
          Fixed propress listener reporting in XbfParser.java
 
 o r15214 Email protocol now functional between cluster nodes, see example configuration
          xmlBlaster/demo/javaclients/cluster/email/README
          
 o r15207 Bugfix Java: The Callback QoS could loose the callback address due to a bug in the ConnectQos parser
          (e.g. when reloaded from persistence)

 o r15203 added ping qos to clientside ping (was ignored previously)
 
 o r15192 Added simple jmx framework for contrib plugins with a first implementation TimestampChangeDetector.

   closeSocket(s) added because of handle leak reported by James Cazier

 o r15139 Bugfix for ant XmlBlasterTask: Closing file output streams

 o r15137 Bugfix killClient() does now properly destroy clients which have no session
   for example clients which came to live with a PtP message.

 o r15124 Added client property variant:
    <clientProperty name='myText' type='String' encoding='base64' charset='windows-1252'>...
   to support base64 client properties of type String which are not UTF-8 encoded

 o r15093 Extended XmlScript with
   <wait delay="60000" updates="4" message="Waiting for 4 updates (timeout is 1 min) ..."/>
   Like this XmlScript can be used with the request/reply pattern (useful as a ANT task)

 o r15055 RequestReplyExecutor.java returns now address.clone
   TODO - pass specific address of client for authentication

 o r15047 Added xmlBlaster ant task
   This allows to access xmlBlaster from within ant with the xmlBlaster XML scripting language
   See: http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/api/org/xmlBlaster/contrib/ant/XmlBlasterTask.html

 o r15041 Patch from Balázs Póka which makes defensive cast to URLClassLoader
   Allows Java WebStart and none standalone apps.

 o r15037 Bugfix TopicHandler (multi threading issue)
   By Eugene Wu for topic going unintended into unreferenced for volatile messages

 o r15029 Corba xmlBlaster.idl testing 'wstring' instead of 'string'
   - Java client to java server works fine (encoding UTF-8, windows-1252 etc.)
   - Testing with mico 2.3.12 works fine only for 'string'
     The 'wstring' variant lost its QoS during connect()
     so we stay with 'string'
 
 o r15014 MX4J Adaptor could not find the necessary xsl in Windows. This issue is now fixed.

 o r15006 Added 'domain' to erase event

   Added   xmlBlaster/lib/jaxen.jar

 o r14981 Extended MIME XPath filter:
   - Depending on the configuration the XPath can now query the QoS OR the message content
     The default is as before the message content
   - Optionally you can supply a XSL file name which is used to transform the message content (deprecated again)
   - The plugin type name is now dynamically determined to support multiple plugins
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/mime.plugin.access.xpath.html

 o r14976 FileLocator handle now http:// and ftp:// and file: schemas

   - Fixed cluster example: Added SubscriptionPersistencePlugin to xmlBlasterPlugins.xml

 o r14874 - r14876 Added XmlBlasterException hook to react customized on XmlBlasterExceptions
   The default implementation (see Main.java) does an immediate exit of xmlBlaster for error codes 
   defined, for example "-xmlBlaster/panicErrorCodes resource.db.unknown,resource.db.unavailable"
   The exit does not shutdown with the RunlevelManager but kills the instance immediately.

 o r14741 Removed trim() for string ClientProperties

 o r14733 Added EraseKey and EraseQos (as ClientProperty) send to cluster slaves on topic erases
   so that slave knows the erase properties
   Reported by Jonathan Clark

 o r14729 Bugfix removed forceDestroy check to have a NotifySubscribersAboutErase if the boolean is set
   to get erase events for cluster slaves (with erase done on master)

 o r14486,r14500,r14501 Added extended support to send internal core events.
   Example: startupRunlevel.9,shutdownRunlevel.8 where the number
   is the runlevel you want to observe.
   See: http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/admin.events.html

 o r14481 Added native plugin to trigger xmlBlaster internal events as emails

   otherwise configured.

 o r14251,r14267,r14319 USER_UPDATE_HOLDBACK (and COMMUNICATION_USER_HOLDBACK) introduced (for all protocols)
   You can throw this on client side in your update() method:
   Like this the server queues the message and sets the dispatcActive to false.
   You need to manually activate the dispatcher again. Will be changed again, use with care.

 o r14226 SOCKET&email Refactored Latch handling and added interruptInvocation()

   This enables us to call MBean-methods from within a website which runs in the HtmlMonitorPlugin.

 o r14125 XmlBlasterAccess.java:
   Changed getDispatchStatistic() to avoid potential deadlock if an update receives during connect

 o r14119 Java: Added possibility to initialize complete xmlBlaster client library
   without sending a connect() to the xmlBlaster server (see XmlBlasterAccess).

 o r14087 Java SOCKET protocol:

   Like this als java.util.logging will be automatically redirected to our jutils logging
   This is for the server and the client library

 o r13929 Refactor SOCKET protocol classes to reuse code for EMAIL protocol driver

 o r13909 added contrib task in build.xml

   See
    http://www.xmlBlaster.org/FAQ.html#xml-parser
    http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/client-api/org/xmlBlaster/util/XmlNotPortable.html
   - xmlBlaster.properties has changed, please use the new template
   - engine.service.rdbms requirements will only run with JDK 1.5 from now on
   Please remove those lines in your xmlBlaster.properties:

Changes for 1.0.5 [2005-08-08] r13663 "Xmas release patch 5"
============================================================

 o NOTE: You need to remove the 'HtmlMonitorPlugin'
   section in xmlBlasterPlugins.xml to be able to run with JDK 1.3.
   It uses the logging from JDK 1.4.

 o Tested C and C++ client library with icc 9.0 (the new Intel C++ compiler release)

 o r13656 Bugifx Memoryleak for XPath unSubscribes
   On XPath subscriptions which hit many topics the unSubscribe
   could lead to a memory leak in the server.

 o r13655 JMX: Fixed so that JMX queue names displayed are identical
   to the database name XB_ENTRIES.queueNames

 o r13649 Added JMX methods
   - I_ProgressListener for SOCKET protocol plugin
   - Callback delivery states and statistics
   - Added client side queue dumping

 o r13558 log4cplus port/bugfix to VC++ 2005
   It crashed in strftime() because of unknown %q option

 o r13545-r13568 New native web based monitoring
   Start xmlBlaster and try in your browser:
     http://YOUR-IP:3412/status.html
   See
     http://www.xmlblaster.org/screenshot.html#native
   - Added LogNotifierDeviceFactory
   - Added file loader from CLASSPATH, global.getFromClasspath()
   - Added more administrative access methods

 o r13539 Added native plugin which delivers a simple HTML page
   with the xmlBlaster status.
   The delivered page is configurable to show any administrative command.

 o r13525-13528 Added native http based xmlBlaster monitoring plugin
   (generic HTML design is still under construction)

 o r13524 adjusted Xerces-C++ build settings
   Sax2Parser.h und Sax2Parser.cpp: fixed includes
   Use 
     xerces.include.dir
     xerces.lib.dir
   in build.properties to set the location of the
   Xerces-C++ Library to be used for the C++ Part.
   XMLCPP_HOME and XMLCPP_VER is not supported anymore.
   
 o r13513 C++ client library
   Added convenience method XmlBlasterAccess.setCallbackDispatcherActive(bool)

 o r13505 Changed C++ ConnectQos to be reference counted
   Added convenience method XmlBlasterAccess.sendAdministrativeCommand()

 o r13502 Bugfix C++ integration of C client library
   Return value of bool update(...) changed to XMLBLASTER_C_bool
   On Windows C++ bool is a 'char' and the C bool is a 'int'
   This mismatch left 3 bytes on the EAX register undefined and lead to wrong bool settings
   when passing a bool from C++ to C.

 o r13491,r13492 JMX Added jmxremote.jar to compile on JDK < 1.5

 o Added administrative access methods, for example
   "numPublish", "numSubscribe" etc.
   Renamed "numUpdates" to "numUpdate"

 o r13477-r13482 Added JMX functionality
   for session, topic and queue handling

 o r13470,r13474 Extended query string syntax
   The constructors of
      GetKey(String,String)
      EraseKey(String,String)
      SubscribeKey(String,String)
      UnSubscribeKey(String,String)
   accept now the query string in URL syntax,
   for example a topic oid like "Hello" or "oid:Hello"
   or a query like "xpath://key", "domain:CLUSTER"
   Topic oid is now checked to not contain apostrophe ' or "

 o r13463 Bugfix user.security.authentication.accessdenied
   - Collecting new ConnectReturnQos after reconnect
   - Setting new instanceId on multiple connect() calls

 o r13462 Bugfix user.security.authentication.accessdenied
   Java client library now does another connect() if
   accessdenied is thrown from server.
   This can happen when a client session is destroyed in the
   server as an administrative task or by other means.
   Note: If the client is not fail safe configured and his callback address
   is buggy, the server always destroys the session and the client
   always reconnects which could lead to a loop.

 o r13461 Dispatcher change (java)
   Moved all protocol driver shutdown calls outside
   of synchronization blocks to avoid deadlocks
   if shutdown blocks and client wants to reconnect.

 o r13460 SOCKET protocol driver change (java)
   Moved all native socket close() calls outside
   of synchronization blocks.
   Like this a blocking system call won't deadlock
   the clients reconnect attempts.
   Changed to pass thru communication exceptions.

 o r13459 Bugfix SOCKET protocol driver
   Catching now throwable to always ensure the release of invocation locks
   Otherwise a blocked thread could result

 o r13459 Bugfix SOCKET protocol fail safe reconnect: SO_LINGER changed from one minute to 0
   The java socket.close() could block in the kernel
   when the ethernet cable was plugged out.
   SO_LINGER>0: Try to send any unsent data on close(socket)
                The UNIX kernel waits very long and ignores the given time
   SO_LINGER=0: Discard remaining data on close() <-- Choose this to avoid blocking socket close() calls
   Default:     The kernel tries to send queued data even after close()

 o r13458 Bugfix SOCKET protocol fail safe reconnect
   plugin/socket/responseTimeout callback exceptions are handled now as
   communication exception and trigger polling for client instead of
   creating dead messages.

 o r13449 C++ client library
   - Cleanup of true/false string handling
   - Extended ConnectQos to handle "refreshSession", "reconnected" and "instanceId"
   - Bugfix Base64 clientProperty handling in ConnectQos SAX parsing
   - WARNING:
     The AddressBase class is now reference counted, you may not create
     any Address instance on the stack, always use 'new Address(...)' or 'new CbAddress(...)'.
     Please access methods with '->' instead of '.'.
   - Threads: omni_mutex locks now support recursive entry, the same thread may enter recursively
     This extends POSIX 1.c: There the results of recursively locking the mutex is undefined
     and usually blocks.
   - Changed fail safe reconnect to make an initial try directly after detection
   - Added getInstanceId() to Global
   - XmlBlasterAccess.cpp
     Bugfix for multiple connect() calls.
     Changed invocationMutex to allow recursive calls,
     set xmlBlaster/invocationMutex/recursive=false for old behavior.
   - Cleanup of bool converter methods and "true"/"false" usage
     "1", "true" and "TRUE" are evaluated to true.
   - Changed Timeout::addOrRefreshTimeoutListener() to ignore key<=0 (and r13465)
   - Bugfix for method Timeout::refreshTimeoutListener()

 o r13428-13432 ConnectReturnQos
   Added instanceId which is unique when restarting the server

 o r13427 Bugfix for reconnect (java client library)
   Fixes for IOR and XMLRPC the reconnect behaviour
   if client session was killed by administrative task

 o r13409 Extended JMX support
   Added 'build -DADD_JMXTOOLS=true ... dist' configuration
   to add jmxtools.jar to distribution (needed for HTMLAdaptor)

 o r13402 Extended JMX support
   - Observe/change Logging

 o r13397 Added port for persistency in Firebird database
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/queue.jdbc.firebird.html
   Donated by Chris Lau ckl_88@yahoo.ca under LGPL

     e.g. operation killClient() instead of getKillClient()
   - Changed getKillClient() to operation killClient()
   - Changed getKillSession() to operation killSession()
   - Added TopicHandler MBean control
   - Added TopicHandler eraseTopic and accessors administrative commands
   - SubjectInfo does subjectQueue.shutdown() now in its shutdown() instead of finalize()

 o r13335 C and C++ client library
   Port to Microsoft VC++ 8 Express 2005 beta2

 o r13338 Java SOCKET protocol (server side):
   Changed to avoid DNS host name lookup on connect which could lead
   to blocking for a missing DNS server (reverse lookup) until timeout occurred.

 o r13335 C++ client library
   Removed needless comma after namespace declaration to compile with g++ 4.0

 o r13330 C++ client library
   Forced to not put SubscribeQos into client side persistent queue (SQLite)
   even whith persisten=true, as we have not yet coded the retrieval (RAM based queueing only)

 o r13327 added pure regex to filepoller plugin.

 o r13323 Bugfix C++ client library
   Fixed reconnect when server was away and C++ ping hasn't yet detected it

 o r13322 finalized dispatcherActive property (r13300)
   Now it works on reconnect as well

 o r13319 Changed SOCKET timeout behaviour (Java/C/C++ clients)
   Changed to throw COMMUNICATION_TIMEOUT instead of RESOURCE_EXHAUST
   when the method call with SOCKET blocks after the specified timeout.
   Like that the not delivered message is queued by default,
   before the exeception was thrown back to the client code.

 o r13316 Bugfix FilePoller
   Fixed session timeout after one day
   Fixed deadlock on xmlBlaster shutdown if FilePoller had problems

 o r13310 Bugfix cluster
   ClusterNode.getConnectionState() did not reliable tell the truth

   Added client side persistence code for subscribe() (deserialize is not finished)
   Added client side queueing for subscribe(), currently RAM based only
   Moved priority handling to QosData.cpp

 o r13300 Added dispatcherActive property to ConnectQos to support
   inhibiting callbacks on login, see
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/interface.connect.html#dispatcherActive
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/interface.connect.html#dispatcherActiveExample

 o r13299 C++ client library
   Fixed to send command line callback address property settings with ConnectQos

 o r13295 Added new server methods for administrative access:
    getServerTimestampMillis(): Access current server time in milli seconds
    getServerTimestamp(): Access current server time, e.g. "2005-03-21 11:18:12.622"

 o r13280 Removed outdated SOAP protocol plugins

Changes for 1.0.2 [2005-02-24] r13271 "Xmas release patch 2"
============================================================

 o r13266 Bugfix for QosData.clone() which didn't deep clone the client property map
   This could have impact on the reported sessionId for __sys__Login and __sys__Logout events.

 o r13267 __sys__Login and __sys__Logout events now return the public session id
   in the "__publicSessionId" client property as a long and the cluster wide unique
   absoluteName with "__absoluteName". The old "__sessionId" is not supported anymore.
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/engine.LoginLogoutEvent.html

 o r13263 build.xml for C/C++:
   Added CFLAGS and LDFLAGS so one can configure C/C++ compilation and linkage
   Remove /usr/lib path for library as it is default and prevented a /usr/lib64 path on 64 bit machines

 o r13261 C/C++ port to Xeon 64 bit, added CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to build.properties
   (for example you can force 32 bit compilation on 64 bit machines with -m32 for g++)

 o r13257 Setting duplicateUpdates to deprecated, please use 'multiSubscribe'
   as described in requirement
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/engine.qos.subscribe.multiSubscribe.html

 o r13247 Removed bug from Persistent Sessions. When a session was initially persistent

   Added createInstance() and destroyInstance() to handle multiple instances of Global

 o r13233 Added I_Map.remove(long uniqueId)

 o r13230 Removed bug on persistent subscriptions. Recovered persistent subscriptions where
   not removed when unsubscribing or disconnecting.


Changes for 1.0.1 [2005-02-08] r13220 "Xmas release patched"
============================================================

 o r13215 Passing AddressServer from each protocol plugin into the core to be able
   to do protocol specific decisions.
   Used for example with the AvailabilityChecker to allow LOCAL access for small runlevels
   and for future use for the Authentication/Authorization plugins to do IP specific decisions.

 o r13212-r13214 Added support to erase message instances but not the topic itself
   See http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/interface.erase.html

 o r13202 StartupTasks plugin added
   See http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/admin.startupTasks.html

   new select() variant.

 o r13140 Added NPE check in DbPool.java, added new select() variant in I_DbPool.java

 o r13136 Bugfix SOCKET callback driver
   Bugfix for isAlive() detection, had impact on failsave reconnect behavior
   from xmlBlaster server callback to client. Happened only when both remained alive
   on temporary network interruption (or if callback address was same) and
   only if at least one partner is running on Windows.

 o r13094 Added XmlBlasterJdk14LoggingHandler.java which redirects JDK 1.4
   logging to our framework.
   This may be useful for native plugins which already use JDK 1.4 logging.
   Switch redirection off with '-xmlBlaster/jdk14loggingCapture false'
   The code is load by reflection to still support JDK 1.3 runtimes.

   content does not happen anymore 

 o C client library:
   - r12985 Added XMLBLASTER_NO_RCSID switch for broken svnversion/rcsid workaround

 o C++ client library:
   - r12985 Added XMLBLASTER_NO_RCSID switch for broken svnversion/rcsid workaround

Changes for 1.RC1 [2004-10-28] r12758
=====================================

 o r12706,r12709 Added subversion revision number as exception text prefix, for example
     ex.getMessage()="r12702 Can't load your plugin"

 o r12703 Upgraded ANT from version 1.6.1 to version 1.6.2

 o r12696 Added org.xmlBlaster.engine.DeadMessageDumper plugin to dump
   dead messages to hard disk, supports republishing (see javadoc)

 o r12689,r12690 Added '__deadMessageReason' ClientProperty to dead messages

 o r12685,r12686 New server flag -xmlBlaster/acceptWrongSenderAddress/<subjectId>  true/false [false]
   -xmlBlaster/acceptWrongSenderAddress/joe true
    Allows user 'joe' to send a wrong sender address in PublishQos
    Useful to resend dead messages with 'javaclients.script.XmlScript'

 o r12681 Checking subscription handle to be null to avoid IllegalArgumentException
   Thanks to aaron@mindwidgets.com

 o r12665 Java client library: fail safe mode
   Remember public and secret sessionId on client side for reconnect attempts
   (For future enhancement of pubSessionId<0 and persistent sessions)

 o r12664 Java client library: Bugfix get() and async mode
   Catching get() requests in async mode and throw an exception

 o r12663 Java client library: Bugfix switch to sync mode
   Added dispatchManager.trySyncMode(true) to force immediate sync mode
   after polling even for empty client queue

 o r12662 Java client library: FEATURE refreshSession
   Added ConnectQos.refreshSession tag for automated client side session refresh
   Example: connectQos.setRefreshSession(true)

 o Changed from cvs to subversion on 2004-10-17, see
   http://subversion.tigris.org/

 o Added new property to delay xmlBlaster startup, for example
   -xmlBlaster/sleepOnStartup 5000 sets it to 5 seconds.
   Useful for example for Windows Service startup delay to wait on MSSQLServer JDBC listener

 o J2ME:
   - Ported String concat with '+' to StringBuffer.append()
   - Fixed compilation for JDK 1.5 (forcing target 1.4)

 o Added administrative access to a subscription dump for a client.
   Try something like
     java javaclients.HelloWorldSubscribe -session.name joe/1 -xpath //key
     java javaclients.HelloWorldGet -oid '__cmd:client/joe/1/?subscriptionDump'

 o Bugfix: Plugins with no package names did throw NPE

 o Plugin configuration of protocol plugins
   Fixed to check properties from plugin configuration in xmlBlaster.properties

 o Added separate links for client side Java API and complete Java API on homepage.

 o Cluster configuration change
   The xml configuration expects now a standard ConnectQos markup instead of the old
   specific <info> section. The old markup is still working but deprecated.
   See http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/interface.connect.html
   See http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/cluster.html

 o Java client API change:
   The ConnectQos constructor can now throw an XmlBlasterException if loading of
   SecurityPlugin fails

 o htpassed authentication:
   - The password files are now trimmed (leading and trailing spaces are removed)
   - We now support startWith() and endsWith() in mode 'Security.Server.Plugin.htpasswd.allowPartialUsername=true'
   - We now support '*:48fdja94jfd' entries which allow to set a wildcard password
     A matching specific user like 'joe:dfkj843f81' has precedence in password evaluation
   - Replaced StreamTokenizer code with simpler line based file read because of problems with special chars
   - Changed comments to start with '#' instead of '//'
   See: http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/security.htpasswd.html

 o Cluster support: PtP messages now use the same cluster lookup code as Pub/Sub
   and are fully cluster routing enabled.

 o Java client library:
   Changed ClientErrorHandler to not remove client side queue entries on certain exceptions

 o Bugfix in PtP cluster forwarding:
   In some cases the destination QoS got lost

 o SOCKET SSL
   Renamed configuration 'keystore' to 'keyStore' to conform to javas system property
   Renamed configuration 'keystorepassword' to 'keyStorePassword' to conform to javas system property
   Added 'trustStore' lookup on client side

 o xmlBlaster.properties.template:
   Added CbProtocolPlugin[SOCKET][1.0] and CbProtocolPlugin[socket_ssl][1.0]
   as dummy plugins. Those dummies are needed for persistent session recovery.

 o Reintroduced notify for XPATH subscriptions (they were removed in 0.91)
   NOTE: XPath subscriptions will match again if the erased topic is recreated
   Exact subscriptions are lost when a topic is explicitely erased, a subscriber
   would need to re-subscribe on a erased topic if needed.
   This is an important difference, the erase notify is essential for exact
   subscriptions so they now about the stale subscription.

 o SOCKET UDP support:
   Added paramter to switch on/off the server side UDP listener (defaults to false)
   -plugin/socket/startUdpListener true/false

 o SOCKET compression for Java server and clients added
   The compression is based on jzlib and supports 2 ways of compression
   namely 'stream based' and 'message content' based.
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/protocol.socket.html#compress
   Thanks to Bal�zs P�ka bpoka@axelero.hu

 o SOCKET SSL support for Java server and clients added, the usage is simple, see
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/protocol.socket.html#SSL
   Thanks to Bal�zs P�ka bpoka@axelero.hu
   
 o SOCKET incompatible change:
   The disconnect returns a server side ACK now (from SOCKET protocol layer).
   This is a fix of the protocol.socket requirement:
   disconnect can throw an exception and therefore it also needs to have a return value

 o SOCKET incompatible change:
   Behaviour changed on client side so that disconnect() always makes a
   shutdown even on low level exceptions

 o SOCKET java protocol plugin:
   Fixed memory leak on InterruptedIOException (very seldom case)

 o C client library:
   - r12860 Timeout.cpp: Fixed shutdown with join(); Checking class state on method calls; Added catch(...) for error handling 
   - r12858 Threading library: Added mode to start threads detached: start(bool detached)
   - r12854 Changed from winsock.h to Winsock2.h to have SD_BOTH
   - r12750 Upgrade to pthreads-dll-2004-06-22

   - r12710 Added subversion revision number, see getXmlBlasterVersion()
   - Added zlib:stream compression support
   - Added C client API documentation with doxygen, see
     http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/doxygen/c/html/index.html
   - Changed 'ExceptionStruct: bool remote;' to type 'int' to have 4 byte struct alignment
     It crashed when called from VC7 C++ into C
   - Added a 'D' to .so/.sl/.dll shared library name for debugging version, for example "xmlBlasterClientCD.dll"
     You can switch off debugging with "c.debug=false" in build.properties => "xmlBlasterClientC.dll"
   - Changed CallbackServer again to close socket on server EOF to avoid clients thread blocking
   - Fixed handling of remote xmlBlaster server exceptions in C client library
   - We support now a debugging so/dll compilation with an added 'D' parallel to the optimized lib
   - Fixed callback ping return for SOCKET protocol

 o C++ client library:
   - r12858 Threading lib: Added mode to start threads detached: start(bool detached)
   - r12755 "user.name" is used instead of "user" to find out the default user
   - r12746 Windows flag '/YX' added for precompiled headers
   - r12743 BUGIFX: lexical_cast from string (or char*) to bool is now handled on a special implementation
   - r12711 Added subversion revision number, see Global::getRevisionNumber()
   - Fixed setting of XmlBlasterAccess::getServerNodeId()
   - Modified Log4Cplus logging:
     1. We are now forwarding all xmlBlaster.properties and command line settings to log4cplus,
        so you could configure everything in xmlBlaster.properties instead of a separate log4cplus.properties
     2. log4cplus is extended to do ${xy} variable replacement not only from environment
        but from itself as well (recursion depth is one).
   - Added zlib:stream compression support with via C SOCKET protocol plugin
   - Incompatible API change (the compiler will tell you everything - no risk!): 
      o 'class Destination' constructor expects now the new SessionName instead of SessionQos
      o updateQos.getSender()->getAbsoluteName() instead of '.' as SessionNameRef is reference counted
      o Removed namespace from header: Clients now may need to add
         using namespace org::xmlBlaster::util::qos;
   - Updated C++ client API documentation with doxygen, see
     http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/doxygen/cpp/html/index.html
   - New methods for XmlBlasterAccess: isAlive(), isPolling(), isDead()
   - SecurityQos constructor now accepts the security plugin name
   - Fixed reading of default client name
   - Fixed setting default SecurtiyQos userId from SessionName
   - Bugfix: Fixed to pass configuration settings to C-SOCKET layer on reconnect
   - Bugfix: Corrected sender name in PublishQos after reconnect and flushing queue
   - Added a 'D' to .so/.sl/.dll shared library name for debugging version, for example "xmlBlasterClientD.dll"
     You can switch off debugging with "cpp.debug=false" in build.properties => "xmlBlasterClient.dll"
   - Fixed initial queueing of connect request if xmlBlaster server is not available (ConnectQos is not queued anymore)
   - We support now a debugging so/dll compilation with an added 'D' parallel to the optimized lib
   - Changed to initialize callback address in ConnectQos only if a callback server is created
   - Changed to only install a CORBA callback server if necessary
     Thanks to pikaiyuan@163.com
   - Fixed Windows C++ compile in build.xml (unresolved externals)
     Thanks to Bjoern Ruff

     like publish() and subscribe() from within the update() callback thread.
   - Fixed C demo clients to use xmlBlasterFree() instead of free() directly
     Thanks to Martin Johnson <mjohnson@quickcut.com.au>

 o C++ client library:
   - Added UDP datagram support via SOCKET protocol, try
     java org.xmlBlaster.Main -plugin/socket/useUdpForOneway true -plugin/socket/startUdpListener true
     PublishDemo -protocol SOCKET -numPublish 5 -oneway true -plugin/socket/useUdpForOneway true
     SubscribeDemo -protocol SOCKET -updateOneway true -plugin/socket/useUdpForOneway true
     C: HelloWorldUdp -plugin/socket/useUdpForOneway true
   - Fixed publishOneway()
   - Added <updateOneway/> support to SubscribeQos
   - ClientProperty: Fixed float/double etc. assignement warning for templates
   - Removed boost source from our C++ source tree (we use omnithread)
   - Requests are now threadsafe: mutual block on requests (update thread is
     not blocked). For example a publish can not be done simultaneously as a publish on the
     same connection.

     cleaning up additional Global instances.

 o RMI protocol driver:
   Commented out RMI in property files, this protocol driver is currently buggy.

 o MsgUnitRaw needs to implement Serializable for RMI but may not use it for J2ME,
   this issue needs to be resolved

 o Incompatible JDBC persistence change:
   -> Removed XB_NODES table (is backward compatible)
   -> Removed XB_QUEUES table (is backward compatible)
   -> Removed column 'nodeId' from XB_ENTRIES (is NOT backward compatible)
      
      If you need to upgrade xmlBlaster having legacy data in database
      do manually a "alter table XB_ENTRIES drop column 'nodeId'".

      Otherwise just drop all old database tables
      (for HSQLDB remove its files in the tmp directory, on Windows the
       default %HOMEPATH%\tmp location for user 'joe' is
       "C:\Documents and Settings\joe\tmp"
       and on Linux "$HOME/tmp")

   Exception text is:
      [Aug 28, 2004 2:47:15 PM ERROR XmlBlaster.MainThread org.xmlBlaster.engine.msgstore.cache.PersistenceCachePlugin-topicStore:xmlBlaster_192_168_1_4_3412]

   for publishOneway() and updateOneway()
   Contributed by Michal Masa <xmasam@sgi.felk.cvut.cz>

 o Server side SOCKET plugin: Added support for multiple SOCKET plugin instances
   with separate configurations. 

 o Configuration attributes in xmlBlasterPlugin.xml are now used as
   default settings for all protocol plugins

 o Added separate statistic counter for updateOneway

 o Added updateOneway flag to SubscribeQos to control
   callback delivery for this subscription

   prevent a topic from going to dead anymore
   Thanks to David Kerry <xml@navahonetworks.com>

 o Fixed xml dump to be well formed again
 
 o Fixed get() mime filter query plugin load bug
   Thanks to jlc.xmlblaster.0504@jambotech.com

   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/engine.persistence.subscription.html

 o Changed synchronization of disconnecting a client which could be
   a portential dead lock if a shutdown and a client disconnect comes
   simultaneously

 o Added an 'AvailabilityChecker' to protect xmlBlaster in the different run levels.
   This is another step for enhanced maintenance modes.

 o Changed delivered Postgres SQL driver from jdbc7.2dev-1.2.jar to pg74.213.jdbc2.jar
   (renamed to postgresql.jar) wich supports PostgreSQL 7.4

 o Changed jacorb to ver. 2.1. This to eliminate a nasty bug causing an implicit redelivery of 
   messages. Moved jacorb jar files to xmlBlaster/lib/jacorb
   NOTE: You need to use the ajusted xmlBlaster/config/jacorb.properties.template
         (which is copied into xmlBlaster.jar) if you use your own jacorb.jar.
   NOTE: The name of the property jacorb.verbosity has changed to jacorb.log.default.verbosity

 o Fixed release generation to remove build.tmp and
   keep the 'build' script.

 o Bugfix in PersistentCachePlugin (I_Map, msgUnitStore)

   to xml 1.0 spec (changed Property in jutils.jar).
 
 o changed ant to 1.6.1
 
 o Tested on IBM s390: Linux 2.4.19-4 SMP s390
   Java client/server, C++ and C compiles (g++ 3.2.2) and runs fine

 o AppletServlet is now processing binary data too (client class sends it 
   in the body of the request)

 o Added properties to limit the burst mode size of callback invocations:
   -dispatch/callback/burstMode/maxEntries
               The maximum bulk size of a callback invocation [-1]
               -1 takes all entries available in the callback RAM queue
               possibly limited by maxBytes
   -dispatch/callback/burstMode/maxBytes
               The maximum bulk size of a callback invocation [-1]

 o Bugfix for JXPath generation of ClientProperty in QoS (impact on tiny applet example only)

 o Updated utils.jar to CVS version from  2004-03-19, contains Property bug fix for ArrayOutOfBoundsException

 o JDBC configuration: Added column name prefix, used for MS-SQLServer to
   prefix reserved DB names 'byteSize' and 'dataId', see

   in xmlBlaster.properties.template (the prefix is internally converted to uppercase)

 o modified http.applet protocol to allow invocations from standalone apps and from j2me

 o Renamed admin access to subjectInfo getCbQueueNumMsgs to getSubjectQueueNumMsgs

 o Ported java code to JDK 1.5
   - As 'enum' is now (Jdk1.5) a reserved keyword we renamed our package 'enum' to 'def'
     by replacing the token '.enum.' to '.def.' in the complete source tree.
   - Compiling: build -DJVM.target=1.4 delete all

 o SOCKET protocol on Java client side:
   - Fixed exception handling from update() calls
   - Added 'virtual' callback server shutdown
   - Fixed MsgUnit[] return from get() call to be of length=0 if no message is returned
     Before the array contained one entry with empty key/qos

 o The msgStore cache implementation supports now LRU (last recently used) lookup

 o Added setter and getter for subject queue property in ConnectQos

 o Added a shuffler thread to forward entries from SubjectQueue to
   SessionQueue (to achieve Thread safety).

 o Added I_QueueSizeListener to listen to changes in size of a queue

 o Bugfix: Reconfiguration of client reconnect (same pubSessionId)
   supports now queue properties and sync/async reconfiguration
   (with or without a client side callback server)

 o Extended forceQueuing=true support for PtP messages sent to a
   specific session which does not yet exist.
   This will automatically establish a callback session queue for
   the destination

 o Added support for a sync connected client to reconnect
   in async mode (by providing a callback address).
   Sync connected clients may receive PtP messages which are
   stored in their session queue until the client reconnects
   with a callback address and the queued messages are delivered.
   Switching an async client on the fly to sync mode 
   (by reconnecting without a callback address) is currently not supported.
 
 o XmlScriptInterpreter now uses a Reader (InputStream was starting
   processing AFTER reading whole stream).
  
 o Added persistent session+subscription support in C++

 o Global.detachJdbcManagerCommonTable() removed (was obsolete)

 o The EntryFactories are now threadsafe and the Global.getEntryFactory now
   does not take any name and the factory is a singleton. EntryFactory.getName
   does not exist anymore. I_StoragePlugin.getType can be used instead
 
 o Added XmlScriptInterpreter which can execute xmlBlaster commands from an
   xml file (in a way similar to ant, maven and jelly)

 o Nested key tags are now allowed inside key
 
 o Added a new class EncodableData (ClientProperty now extends from it)
  
 o Eliminated MsgTopicErrorHandler since used nowhere

 o Changed build.xml for C and C++ compilation
   Now the source files are copied to a separate destination
   To build C or C++ do a cleanup first (before you checkout the new code):
     build c-delete
     build cpp-delete
   or remove the outdated msgUtil_CopyByAnt.c and Global_CopyByAnt.cpp files manually

 o C++ client library (Incompatible API change):
   - The update() method argument 'content' has changed from
     'void *' to 'const unsigned char *'
   - The global.getLog() method now returns the interface I_Log (an abstract class)
     to the logging framework instead of the Log.cpp implementation itself.
     This allows to plug in your own logging framework

 o C++ client library:
   - xmlBlaster.properties is read (-propertyFile ... or in $HOME or in $XMLBLASTER_HOME)
   - Added native SOCKET protocol plugin based on the C-client library
   - Added logging abstraction interface to support different logging implementations
   - Added log4cplus 1.0.1 logging library to xmlBlaster distribution
     see http://log4cplus.sourceforge.net (Apache license)
   - Fixed command line usage, try 'HelloWorld2 -help'
   - Fixed memory leak for some XmlBlasterExceptions thrown
   - Logging cleanup (switchable xterm colors)
   - Added Global::getCompiler()
   - Fixed LifeTimeManager to have destruction sequence reversed to creation sequence
   - Added map to LifeTimeManager to support registered object lookup by key
   - Bugfix for lexical_cast<double> and lexical_cast<long double>
     which rounded to only 6 digits
   - Added Base64 support for ClientProperty
   - Bugfix: SAX parsers are now thread safe
   - Renamed msgQosData.getForceDestroy() to isForceDestroy()
   - Other minor changes

 o C-client library:
   Fixed to return secretSessionId in update() method
   Fixed to return isOneway in update() method
   Fixed get() return without a match
   Renamed xmlBlasterAccess->userData to userObject to avoid ambiguity

 o C-client library (Incompatible API change):
   - Fixed unSubscribe() and erase() to return now 'QosArr *' instead
     of 'char *'.
   - ping() now wants a third argument 'xmlBlasterException*'
   - Added user specific object to be returned to the logging callback (logUserP)
   See xmlBlaster/demo/c/socket/HelloWorld3.c for a usage example.

 o Renamed build.sh to build. Now on UNIX and Windows the build command is the same,
   for example 'build all', note that you have to manually delete the old 'build'
   directory

 o Fixed dead messages "__sys__deadMessage" to contain the complete key and qos
   of its embedded message.
   The clientProperty keys are "__key", "__qos", "__oid" and "__rcvTimestamp".
   The latter two are added for convenience reasons only.

 o Extended ClientProperties to transfer blob data, introduced base64
   encoding if illegal characters are transferred
   see http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/engine.qos.clientProperty.html

 o Added protection for publisher thread to never do cleanup of callbacks
   (avoid dead locks)

 o manifest.xmlBlaster: Added missing jhotdraw.jar, demo.jar and testsuite.jar

 o C-client: changed include in pthread.h for simpler compilation

 o Corrected spelling from <subscribeable> to <subscribable>

 o Fixed update problem when content is empty

 o Fixed dead letter handling on callback queue overflow

 o C-client library: Fixed bug in trim() which lead on stress tests
   to corrupted messages.
   Thanks to FdGiglio@naples.sema.slb.com

 o JDK 1.2 runtime support: The current jacorb.jar does NOT run with JDK 1.2
   To run xmlBlaster with JDK 1.2 you have these options:
   - Download an older jacorb.jar and throw it into xmlBlaster/lib
   or
   - Switch off the corba plugin in xmlBlasterPlugins.xml, now the
     server runs fine. For java clients use the SOCKET
     protocol with the option '-protocol SOCKET' (RMI and XML-RPC are fine too).
   
   NOTE: You can compile xmlBlaster with JDK 1.3 (or 1.4) and still
   run it with JDK 1.2. If you need to compile xmlBlaster with JDK 1.2
   please exclude the JMX stuff in build.xml (uncomment those):
      <patternset id="jdk12.notcompatible.sources">
         <exclude name="**/jmx/**"/>
         <exclude name="**/jmxgui/**"/>
         <exclude name="**/memoryleak/**"/>
      </patternset>
   build.sh delete; build.sh xmlBlaster
   (Parts of the testsuite won't compile with JDK 1.2)

 o Fixed hsqldb.jar to compile/run with JDK 1.3 and 1.2 again.

 o Fixed dead message loop if a dead message subscriber subscribed
   on other messages as well and than crashed.

 o Fixed synchronization gap on client login,
   SubjectInfo registered before it was fully initialized
   Thanks to Dimitri Devriendt his detailed report.

 o C++ client library:
   Created an abstract xml layer to allow to easily implement other xml parsers than xerces

 o Changed the Subscribeable flag to Subscribable

 o Updated LDAP authentication demo, see
     xmlBlaster/demo/ldap/README

 o ConnectQos: 
   - Renamed setSecurityPluginData() to loadClientPlugin()
   - Renamed I_ClientPlugin.getSecurityQos() to createSecurityQos()
   - Removed setSecurityInterceptor() and getSecurityInterceptor()
   - Removed getSecurityPluginType() and getSecurityPluginVersion() and setSecurityQos()

 o C++ client: Ported to multi threaded Corba mico 2.3.11

 o Added a new ant task 'javadocs-client' which only creates the Java client
   side API documentation.

 o Added tiny Applet which supports asynchronous callbacks using
   a persistent http connection, see
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.java.applet.html
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.browser.html

 o Moved HelloWorld*.java examples to directory xmlBlaster/demo to
   avoid package name problems

 o QosData: embedded each client property with CDATA (java and c++)

 o Fixed mouse sensitive area in chessRhino.svg


Changes for 0.85e (beta) [2003-10-31]
=====================================

 o Ported C client library to OSF1 V5.1 1885 alpha
   Thanks to FdGiglio@naples.sema.slb.com

 o Cluster: Fixed that protocol settings for embeded cluster clients are respected
   (The setting CREATED_BY_SETTER is now enforced to be stronger than env settings)

 o XmlBlaster cluster now support unSubscribe() routing

 o Changed subscription ID to be cluster wide unique

 o Bugfix cluster setup: Catching forever looping PtP messages
   in a clustered environment

 o Bugfix for corrupted PublishQos, occurring
   since 0.85c

 o Added publish QoS sender name check (authentication) to avoid spoofing

 o C-client: Fixed gcc warnings on IBM s390 (with Linux)
   for printf() and sscanf() with %u and size_t

 o Removed the nowhere documented "message.lifeTime" property

 o added I_MsgDistributor plugin (acts in TopicHandler)

 o Changed signature for I_AccessPlugin.check(...) by removing the publisherSessionInfo

 o added multiple ConnectionStatusListeners to DispatchManager

 o changed nomenclature from 'Delivery' to 'Dispatch' to avoid confusion.
   Need to take the new xmlBlaster.properties
 
Changes for 0.85d (beta) [2003-10-12]
=====================================

 o Bugfix which randomly threw IllegalStateException, occurring
   since 0.85c

 o Fixed C client library bugs (memmove, zero msg payload and
   possible thread lock gap) see
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.c.socket.html

 o Added type to client properties in qos
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/interface.publish.html

 o Some more work is done on the JMS Java client library, see
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/jms.html


Changes for 0.85c (beta) [2003-10-05]
=====================================

 o Bugfix for queueing PtP messages when there are session which have
   set isPtpAllowed==false

 o Fixed to not put none subscribable PtP messages to the history queue

 o Added limited support to reconfigure a subject queue
   from CACHE to RAM during operation.

 o Fixed internal error dump when expired history entry
   is subscribed.

 o XmlBlasterException now dumps an online URL with
   detailed informations.
   Please use new xmlBlaster.properties.template

 o Protected core authentication against unwanted access by
   plugin developers and native client developers, see
   AuthenticateProtector.java, SubjectInfoProtector.java, SessionInfoProtector.java

 o Bugfix for queue plugin configuration transport in QoS, e.g.
     -queue/connection/defaultPlugin RAM,1.0

 o Fixed client side thread demand by implementing
   lazy instantiation. This for example reduces the 
   number of xmlBlaster specific threads from 5 to 1 for
   a Java SOCKET connection.

 o Fixed possible thread leak in java client library
   when using many client connections and Global is not
   garbage collected frequently enough by the JVM

 o Updated Perl support, see
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.perl.html

 o Bugfix for topics with a destroy delay of 0 msec.
   Reported by Dominique Petitpierre


Changes for 0.85beta [2003-09-24]
=================================

 o Changed all getBytes to getBinaryStream in JdbcManagerCommonTable and changed
   signature of I_EntryFactory.createEntry
   to take an input stream (due to problems with Oracle 9i and BLOB)

 o Changed default type for Oracle to BLOB (since RAW LONG is deprecated in 9i).
   Max Blob size is 4GB

 o Added a Key and Qos cache for publish (the literal is the key and the Data is the value)
   -> 15 % better performance

 o Added clientProperty tag to most of the qos (only StatusQos don't have it)

 o Added support to set and lookup the engine.Global (via GlobalUtil) for the j2ee components.

 o Finished the LOCAL protocol.

 o Added flag enableBatchMode in the jdbc queue plugins

 o added storage of blob in DummyEntry (before it was a fictive size,
   now its complete size is stored/retrieved from the DB).

 o Moved to JacORB 2.0 beta 2 + (cvs) from 2003-09-14 15:00
   You can check out this version with:
    cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.jacorb.org/cvsroot/jacorb checkout -D '2003-09-14 15:00' JacORB
   idl.jar is patched to contain JacORB/lib/logkit.jar

 o Updated XPathFilter to support Jaxen XPath extension functions,
   also added the functions RecursiveTextFunction and ContainsIgnoreCaseFunction.

 o Updated j2ee components to the latest API changes.
   Also fixed property handling so that xmlBlaster.properties is not loaded by default.
   xmlBlaster.properties and xmlBlasterPlugins.xml is removed from the xmlBlaster.jar
   to not upset the propertyloading.

 o Changed ClassLoaderFactory to be interface based, now pluggable with property classLoaderFactory.
   Moved implementing ClassLoaderFactory to StandaloneClassLoaderFactory and
   added a ContextClassLoaderFactory to be used in certain embedded environments.

 o Bugfix in Timeout.java
   - userData is now correctly passed
   - addOrRefreshTimeoutListener() acts now correctly on all situations
   Reported by Xavier Roques, xRoques@infovista.com

 o Ported chess demo to batik 1.5, cleanup of event queue

 o Moved getJdbcQueueManagerCommonTable from util.Global to JdbcQueueCommonTablePlugin so that the 
   manager is not referenced outside the plugin it serves. Moved also wipeOutDB from Global to the
   queue plugin).

 o Property loading cleanup in Global.java 
   Thanks to Peter Antman for the discussion

 o Fixed build.xml 'dist' task to include HSQLDB

 o Bugfix in persistence layer for huge messages.
   Reported by pikaiyuan

 o The jmxgui now uses only one XmlBlasterAccess to communicate with xmlBlaster

 o fix in JdbcQueueManager to avoid batch mode invocations if the DB does not 
   support this feature (particularly for hsqldb)

 o The SVG Javascript chess example is updated to this
   new release with some bugfixes, see
     http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.javascript.rhino.html

 o Bugfix Java client library:
   In fail safe mode on client reconnect the subscribe
   specific callback redirect got lost and updates where
   delivered to the default callback handle.
   (The bug was introduced in 0.849 when fixing a memory leak).

 o Removed deprecated classes from package org.xmlBlaster.client:
      EraseKeyWrapper.java
      EraseQosWrapper.java
      GetKeyWrapper.java
      GetQosWrapper.java
      PublishKeyWrapper.java
      PublishQosWrapper.java
      SubscribeKeyWrapper.java
      SubscribeQosWrapper.java
      UnSubscribeKeyWrapper.java
      UnSubscribeQosWrapper.java
      EraseRetQos.java
      I_RetQos.java
      PublishRetQos.java
      SubscribeRetQos.java
      UpdateKey.java
      UpdateQos.java
      GetQos.java
   Please use the packages org.xmlBlaster.client.key and
   org.xmlBlaster.client.qos instead
   
 o Fixed build.bat to take more command line parameters

 o Added new connect QoS setting 'reconnectSameClientOnly' which
   allows us to enforce a client singleton - if you need to assure
   that a client can only connect exactly once, see
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/interface.connect.html
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.configuration.html

 o Exhaust of maxSessions throws now ErrorCode.USER_CONFIGURATION_MAXSESSION

 o JAVA client: Calling xmlBlasterAccess.connect() multiple times without disconnect()
   throws now ErrorCode.USER_CONNECT_MULTIPLE

 o Removed deprecated 
    org.xmlBlaster.util.ConnectQos
    org.xmlBlaster.util.ConnectReturnQos
    org.xmlBlaster.util.DisconnectQos
   please use siblings from package org.xmlBlaster.client.qos

Changes for 0.849 [2003-07-15]
==============================

 o Bugfix Java client library: Fixed memory leak for reconnecting clients with
  subscribes using specific callbacks. 

 o Changed behavior that '-version' and '-type' is not read from env anymore,
   only the more qualified variants like '-queue/connection/version'

 o Fixed HSQLDB plugin to create a seperate DB instance for each
   client or server instance in directory ${user.home}/tmp

 o Added Property replacement variant $_{XYZ} which does NOT throw an
   exception if XYZ is not found

 o C++: Added first code to embedd C SOCKET lib as a C++ protocol plugin,
   see COMPILE_SOCKET_PLUGIN and COMPILE_CORBA_PLUGIN switches in build.xml

 o C++: Removed ALl 'using namespace' declarations from C++ header files.

 o Implemented hsqldb as the embedded database. Persistence is now supported per
   default
 
 o Added C wrapper to embedd C tests into JUnit testing, try
     build.sh total
     build.sh runTestsAndReport
   which creates a report:
     http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/test/report/html/index.html

 o Removed a2Blaster (for authentication/authorization).
   The a2Blaster project is developed further commercially and like
   this of no use for us.

 o Removed complete Xindice support as the persistence layer changed.
   To add Xindice again it needs to implement the persistent queue framework, see
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/queue.html

 o Removed outdated and UNIX only jacorb.sh java_orbacus.sh  mico.sh orbacus.sh
   They where mainly used for Makefiles

 o Removed all Makefiles, please use now 'ant' and 'build.xml'
   NOTE: xmlBlaster/config/xmlBlaster-autoconf.tar.gz still exists
         but probably needs a face lift.

 o Bugfix in cluster configuration, switch off naming service and
   setting other address parameters is now possible from configuration file.
   Reported by Michael Atighetchi.

 o Bugfix clustering for get() by Michael Atighetchi.
   A node X was only forwarding get requests to other nodes if a subscription
   has been established to X and a message had been successfully served to that
   subscription. Now, get() requests are always forwarded to the right other nodes.

 o Added MethodName argument to exportMessage in security message interceptor

 o Zhang Zhi Wei added a Microsoft SQL Server port for our persistence layer
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/queue.jdbc.sqlserver.html

 o Completed ANSI-C client library for sync and async xmlBlaster access:
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.c.socket.html

 o Added support for OmniORB 4.0.1 (C++ client library)

 o Bugfix C++ object cleanup by Martin Johnson

 o Removed deprecated property scanning precedence, see PropEnv.java

 o Bugfix to report nicer wrong configuration setting

 o Bugfix  '-pluginsFile /yourdirectory/yourfile.xml' works now
   as expected


Changes for 0.848 [23, May 2003]
================================
 o Fix in XmlBlasterException for MakeFormat with index > {9}
   IBM JDK 1.3.1 can't handle it (i believe 1.4 handles it now).

 o Changed protocol plugin loading behavior.
   Now we throw an exception if the protocol plugin is not found
   instead of choosing the default protocol as fallback.
 
 o Updated requirements

 o Incompatible changes (update xmlBlaster.properties and xmlBlasterPlugins.xml):

   1. Removed XmlBlasterConnection.java, please use XmlBlasterAccess.java
      Removed I_ConnectionProblems.java, please use I_ConnectionStateListener.java

   2. XmlBlasterAccess.initCbServer(String loginName, String type, String version) -> initCbServer(String loginName, CallbackAddress cbAddress)

   3. Protocol "XML-RPC" renamed to "XMLRPC"
      -> client server communication will not work between this
         and the previous release.

   4. The protocol address is now configurable with Address.java/CallbackAddress.java
      with the method 
         public void setPluginProperty(String key, String value);
      or the old way with glob.setProperty()
      AddressBase.java is redesigned, please check the javadoc.
      Further you can hardcode a destination host directly with e.g.
        address.setType("XMLRPC");
        address.setRawAddress("http://192.168.2.5:9955/");

   5. Renamed property to new schema, try
         java org.xmlBlaster.Main -help     (server side usage)
         java HelloWorld3 -help             (client side usage)
      These replacements where made:
      hostname                -> bootstrapHostname
      port                    -> bootstrapPort
      socket.port             -> dispatch/connection/plugin/socket/port
      socket.hostname         -> dispatch/connection/plugin/socket/hostname
      socket.cb.multiThreaded -> dispatch/connection/plugin/socket/multiThreaded
      socket.threadPrio       -> dispatch/connection/plugin/socket/threadPrio
      socket.responseTimeout  -> dispatch/connection/plugin/socket/responseTimeout
      socket.responseTimeout  -> plugin/socket/responseTimeout  (server)
      ns                      -> dispatch/connection/plugin/ior/useNameService
      ns                      -> plugin/ior/useNameService  (server)
      ior                     -> dispatch/callback/plugin/ior/iorString
      ior                     -> dispatch/connection/plugin/ior/iorString
      ior                     -> plugin/ior/iorString  (server)
      ior.file                -> dispatch/connection/plugin/ior/iorFile
      ior.portCB              -> dispatch/callback/plugin/ior/port
      ior.hostnameCB          -> dispatch/callback/plugin/ior/hostname
      ior.port                -> dispatch/connection/plugin/ior/port
      ior.port                -> plugin/ior/port  (server)
      ior.hostname            -> dispatch/connection/plugin/ior/hostname
      ior.hostname            -> plugin/ior/hostname (server)
      xmlrpc.port             -> dispatch/connection/plugin/xmlrpc/port
      xmlrpc.hostname         -> dispatch/connection/plugin/xmlrpc/hostname
      xmlrpc.portCB           -> dispatch/callback/plugin/xmlrpc/port
      xmlrpc.hostnameCB       -> dispatch/callback/plugin/xmlrpc/hostname
      iorHost                 -> hostname
      iorPort                 -> port           (3411)
      rmi.registryPortCB      -> dispatch/callback/plugin/rmi/registryPort
      rmi.registryPort        -> dispatch/connection/plugin/rmi/registryPort
      rmi.AuthServer.url      -> dispatch/connection/plugin/rmi/AuthServerUrl
   
   6. The ConnectQos xml markup changed from
        <address ... hostname='...' port='...'>
      to
        <address ... bootstrapHostname='...' bootstrapPort='...'>
   
   7. Please copy the new config/xmlBlaster.properties.template
         to $HOME/xmlBlaster.properties
      Please copy the new config/xmlBlasterPlugins.xml.template
         to $HOME/xmlBlasterPlugins.xml

 o Bugfix: Server side command line usage was showing client side usage as well

 o BUGIFX: PropBoolean had wrong Boolean to boolean conversion

 o Bugfix Perl: Outdated sessionId markup in ConnectQos,
   fixed by Dominique.Petitpierre@adm.unige.ch 

 o Bugfix C-XmlRpc: Added missing ping(), reported by
   Dominique.Petitpierre@adm.unige.ch 

 o Added basic support to connect to xmlBlaster from
   simple C with SOCKET protocol, see
   xmlBlaster/src/c/README

 o Changed socket protocol parser to be more tolerant
   on partial messages (needed for C SOCKET client).
   This change is backward compatible.

 o Added MethodName argument to I_MsgSecurityInterceptor.importMessage
   to allow for creation of MsgUnit from MsgUnitRaw within security plugins

Changes for 0.847 [12, May 2003]
================================

 o Michele Laghi added a graphic chat demo using xmlBlaster.
   It can be used for example to discuss designs and the
   remote participants drawings are instantly copied to the other
   users. See xmlBlaster/demo/javaclients/graphical/README

 o Added Martin's managed objects in the c++ clients 

 o Java client library interface change, removed method
   boolean disconnect(DisconnectQos disconnectQos, boolean clearClientQueue, boolean shutdown, boolean shutdownCb) 
   Please configure the options in DisconnectQos and use disconnect(DisconnectQos)

 o Bugfix in java client library. If the client side tail back queue contains
   persistent entries on disconnect they are kept and resent on new connection
   of the same client (same pubSessionId).
   http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/interface.disconnect.html

 o Merged basic JMX support from branch jmx_gui

 o Bugfix:
