OpenORB InterfaceRepository
---------------------------

- removed reference to the JDK tools.jar from build.xml
  to allow compilation on OSX

Version 1.4.0 BETA2 - July, 29 2004 - InterfaceRepository_1_4_0_BETA2

- Fixed bug #800327 (FullInterfaceDescription: no transient hull).

- Fixed the idl2ir script which now passes the openorb.home.path
  property as VM parameter to the application.

- Upgraded to checkstyle 3.3.

- Fixed various warnings Eclipse 3.0M6 complained about.

- Added Eclipse project files (.project and .classpath)
  the project can now easily be imported by
      New->Project->Import From existing Source

- Placed compiler cache files in build directory, caches are now
  deleted by invoking the build target "clean"

Version 1.4.0 BETA1 - December, 19 2003 - InterfaceRepository_1_4_0_BETA1

- Use the new psdl2java ant task to compile the psdl files.

- Use the new idl2java ant task to compile the idl files.

- Added patch from Ralf Bachmann <rbachmann _at_ users.sf.net>
  for bug #814538.

- Removed the setConfig scripts, use the updateConfig scripts
  from tools instead.

- Added a simple shell script to populate the IR: idl2ir.

- Converted the IR to use the service framework.

- Moved build script logic into Ant files.

- Fixed bug #684477, the openorb_ir.jar did not include the
  psdl generated classes.

- Fixed bug #654478, removed second ir.xml for jar file.

- Added setenv and ir shell scripts to set the IR environment and
  to launch the IR.

- Adapted the binary and source archives to the common folder
  hierarchy.

- Moved plugin jar file to ManagementBoard package

- Adapted usage of OpenORB classes to new package structure.

- Updated version number to 1.4.0.

- The class ReleaseInfo has been removed for simplicity reasons.

Version 1.3.0 - September, 27 2002 - InterfaceRepository_1_3_0

- HTML documentation is showing the pictures as in the pdf file now.

- Make build.sh work with the latest cygwin version. The script
  was using a variable OSTYPE that is not available in sh. The
  official way to get the name of the platform is uname which
  is now used for determining the CLASSPATH separator.

Version 1.3.0 BETA2 - August, 10 2002 - InterfaceRepository_1_3_0_BETA2

- Added patch by Diego Sevilla Ruiz (dsevilla _at_ um _dot_ es) for
  the install target of the build.xml. The new version copies the
  files to the path specified by the property install.path just as
  if you extract one of the binary tarballs.

- Make the install target in build.xml copy all jars from the
  dist directory to the specified install location.

- Added dump-info target to build.xml to show the 
  basic settings that are used by ant.

- Add support for xalan on JDK 1.4 to build.xml. Otherwise the
  compile-docbook target does not work.

Version 1.3.0 BETA1 - June, 19 2002 - InterfaceRepository_1_3_0_BETA1

- Added a checkstyle target to build.xml. The command
  "build.sh checkstyle" checks the source code for adherence
  to the Jakarta coding conventions.

- Changed all Class.forName() calls to 
  Thread.currentThread().getContextLoader().loadClass()
  This is safer when having multiple class loaders.

- Separated the setConfig shell scripts from the build.xml.
  Added an add.bat file to perform the actual command.

- Added local.properties file to influence the ant build
  process locally.

- build.sh now works under Cygwin, patch submitted by 
  David Blevins (dblevins@users.sourceforge.net).

- Moved the examples from src/examples/src to src/examples (to align
  with other packages).

- Total restructuring of the build.xml file. It is now
  much easier and much more flexible to use (see "ant help/targets"
  for details).

- Converted the ir.xml file to docbook format.
  Build.xml creates pdf and html output now.

- Merged install.txt and src/etc/README files.
  Moved src/etc files CHANGELOG, README, and LICENSE
  to the base directory of the package and renamed
  CHANGELOG to WHATSNEW (Jakarta style).

- Switched to template based manifest files.

- Aligned code to the Apache/Jakarta coding guidlines
  (Normal and generated code).

- build.sh now works under Cygwin, patch submitted by 
  David Blevins (dblevins@users.sourceforge.net).

Version 1.2.1 - January, 11 2002 - InterfaceRepository_1_2_1

  object (bug fixed) and multi-level lookup (MyModule::MyInterface::)

  and multidimentional).

  members were updated.

- fixed a problem with the parameters modes.

- lookup and lookup_name operations behaviour has been upgraded.
  Modified Containers classes (Repository, InterfaceDef).

  openorb_ir in classpath.
