  ----------------------------------------------------------
! This is the first beta after the official release v1.2. It adds
! minor improvements. 
  It include binary, samples in C# and VB.NET, help and source code. 

  Changes from ver. 1.2
- - Security: Reduced attack surface of NullableTypes assembly
- - Security: Reduced permissions required for NullableTypes callers.
- - Improved tests NullableSingleTest.ParseFormatException() and 
-   NullableDoubleTest.ParseFormatException() to make them pass also 
-   with the current culture 'German (Switzerland)' 'de-CH' 'LCID=2055'
- - NullableStringTest2.XmlSerializable test was broken - not nu.Test and 
-   not calling correct function.
- - Added new type NullableGuid and added NullableGuid tests,
-   added NullableGuid conversions in DBNullConvert and NullConvert
