+<h1>Change History</h1>
+<br><hr><h2><a name=""/>Changes in Version 2.0.1</h2>
+
+Note: although this is numbered as a maintenance release, there are
+some minor functional changes.
+
+<ul>
+<li>Eliminated the "by reference" connection mode, which requires a
+runtime check and hence violates Flexotask philosophy. Renamed the
+remaining two connection modes: use "CloneAlways" (the default,
+formerly "deepclone") or "CloneIfNeeded" (formerly "hybrid"). The old
+names are still accepted from existing templates but are deprecated.
+Note that for cases where "by reference" did not throw an exception,
+then "CloneIfNeeded" will give the same result at the same cost.
+
+<li>Better diagnostics for failing scheduler, and earlier and more
+precise detection when schedulers violate rules. Requires a
+cooperating VM provider. For the IBM VM provider, this is version
+2.0.2, expected to be available on IBM alphaWorks soon. With the old
+VM provider, there should be no improvement and no regression.
+
+<li>Support priority differentiation in threads used by schedulers.
+Requires a cooperating VM provider. For the IBM VM provider, this is
+version 2.0.2, expected to be available on IBM alphaWorks soon. With
+the old VM provider you may see messages saying that priorities could
+not be set but the configuration should still work.
+
+<li>Establish separate versioning for runtime providers so that the
+Flexotask core system and those providers can evolve
+semi-independently.
+
+<li>Added a reactive scheduler to serve as an example for building
+schedulers that react to external events.
+
+<li>In the editor, give timing grammars more ability to inspect the
+entire graph, check global consistency, and propagate changes related
+to their annotations.
+
+<li>In NativeIO add the ability to dynamically vary between blocking
+and non-blocking operations on an individual socket. Add
+NonBlockingBuffer class to aid in managing partial reads and writes in
+Flexotask execute methods.
+
+<li>Enable peeking on ports by Flexotasks.
+
+<li>Improve the ability for projects that extend flexotask extension
+points to contribute directly to the classpaths of flexotask
+application projects without having to be installed as plugins.
+
+<li>Added checking that deep copy connections have stable types.
+
+<li>Added check to ensure that class defined in flexotask task
+template is indeed a flexotask
+
+<li>Limit the depth of search for reasons when reporting an error to
+avoid OutOfMemory in some cases.
+
+<li>Refinements to the list of JDK classes known a priori to be
+immutable or reference immutable.
+
+<li>Fixed problems related to unexpected errors in the builder (such
+as class loading errors). Builder will stop hereafter and report an
+error in the IDE.
+
+<li>Fixed bug in generating the name of a connection.
+</ul>
