Release notes at http://www.quickfixengine.org/NEWS

Primary purpose of this release is to fix some severe stability problems
that were present in 1.12.3 in both the .NET and gcc builds.  These
problems are addressed in this release.  I've taken 1.12.3 out of
distribution because I believe the bugs are serious enough that this
version is not adequate for production use.

We also added some extra protection in the .NET API.  When calling
Dispose on an Initiator/Acceptor, stop will be called first.  This will
make disposing on an object that is still running less tragic.

There are also some fixes in here for the Ruby API repeating group
support.

The .NET api now supports getSessions on the SessionSettings object.
SessionSettings objects can also be output as a string.  The output will
be in the same format as a typical QuickFIX config file.  This allows
you to generate a config file based off of a programatically created
SessionSettings object.

Several other minor issues are addressed in this release.  See the notes
for more details.
