XML enabled Communication Framework

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.2.0

Notes:
The new release of XMLTIO targets performance and maintenance issues. 
Besides those, an ambiguity with assignment of Locations has been 
adressed. Additionally, support for element (xml:id) and document (dbxml:id) 
IDs has been added. Some bug fixes and a first example showing the basic 
use of XMLTIO conclude the changes for this release. We will now 
concentrate on XOP support and a better integration of XMLTIO in   		
XCF and the ActiveMemory.


Changes:
* Performance-Improvements for XPath matching (XPath expressions will only be compiled once)
* A possible ambiguity in assignment to Locations has been cleared up:
   - Assignment to a Location now has reference-copy semantics
     (operator= behaves just like the copy constructor)
   - For value-copy semantics, assign to the new attribute 'value'
     When the RHS is not of type Location, implicit type-conversion
     with value-copy is used for backwards compatibility.  This
     functionality is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
* xml:id support (read and write)
* dbxml:id support (read only)
* first example that shows basic use cases of xmltio included
* bug fixes
