Arabica XML and HTML Toolkit for C++

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: September-07-2

Notes:
This is a re-release of the September 2007 release which 
fixes a couple of build issues, affecting some 
platform/parser combinations.

The September 2007 release notes were:
The "certainly-break-your-build-but-it'll-be-easily-sorted-out" release.  

This is the first Arabica release ever that knowingly breaks existing code,
but the changes required are all straightforward and shouldn't take more 
than a few minutes to recover from.

The changes are 

a) All Arabica header files now have a .hpp extension.  Existing references 
to something.h will need to be updated (or mitigated by added a forwarding 
header).

b) The SAX namespace has been moved within the Arabica namespace.  References 
to SAX::something will need to be changed to Arabica::SAX::something, or 
mitigated by a using declaration.

c) The DOM namespace and associated namespaces, like SimpleDOM, have been moved 
within the Arabica namespace.  References to DOM::something will need to be 
changed to Arabica::DOM::something, or mitigated by a using declaration.

d) SAX classes named basic_something have been renamed something.  Related typedefs
along the lines of typedef basic_something<string> something; have been removed.
References to SAX::something will need to be changed to SAX::something<std::string>, 
or mitigated by adding your own typedef.

e) All SAX and DOM classes now take both a string and string adaptor template
parameters.  This change should be transparent and require no changes.

f) Some header files in the Utils/ subdirectory have been moved:
  Utils/uri.hpp -> io/uri.hpp
  Utils/socket_stream.hpp -> io/socket_stream.hpp
  Utils/convert_adaptor.hpp -> io/convert_adaptor.hpp
  Utils/convertstream.hpp -> io/convertstream.hpp
  Utils/*codecvt.hpp -> convert/*codecvt.hpp
  Utils/normalize_whitespace.hpp -> text/normalize_whitespace.hpp
  XML/UnicodeCharacters.hpp -> text/UnicodeCharacters.hpp
  Utils/StringAdaptor.hpp -> Arabica/StringAdaptor.hpp
  DOM/Utils/Stream.hpp -> DOM/io/Stream.hpp

There are some namespace changes along with these physical changes.  Any class in 
Arabica::Utils has been moved into Arabica::io or Arabica::convert.
