AsyncWcfLib V 3.1, trunk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
V3.1.04 * released on Nov-9-2013,
Added UnitTest for dynamic dispatching (C# 4.0)
see http://dariosantarelli.wordpress.com/2012/12/08/c-dynamic-dispatch-and-class-inheritance
and http://code.logos.com/blog/2010/03/the_visitor_pattern_and_dynamic_in_c_4.html
V3.1.03 * released on Jan-4-2013,
Changed rule for multiple response messages. First message is
handled as response, successive messages are notifications.
* Improved Disconnect behaviour for async/await.
* UnitTests run on WPF synchronization context.
V3.1.02 * released on Dec-26-2012, added IWcfDefault to plug in defaults
provided by library user.
V3.1.01 * released on Nov-17-2012, recompiled on final VisualStudio 2012.
V3.1.00 * released on June-09-2012, first release running on Mono also.
* Added API to set a different WCF configuration for each port.
* Using the same service contract as in V2.2 for .NET 4.5 and Mono.
* Added list of IP addresses to WcfPartnerMessage and connect
through IP, when hostname is unknown (e.g. no DNS).
* Mono build and tests are ok on Monodevelop 2.8.6.3 including
Mono runtime 2.10.8.1 and .NET 4.0. Some Mono limitations:
- Not using 'localhost', as Mono only connects to the real host.
- KnownServiceType attribut does not support interfaces in Mono.
- KnownType attribut works now for methods but method is called
from every message class by Mono.
- Services do not respect the Synchronization context in Mono.
- TCP listener port sharing is not supported on Mono.
- Slow operation compared to Windows.

AsyncWcfLib V 3.0, rev. 88, beta
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
V3.0.04 * Added IWcfMessage and IExtensibleWcfMessage for easier
integration of AsyncWcfLib in existing projects (2012-04-26).
* Improved API for different logging/tracing frameworks.
V3.0.03 Added UnitTest.ActorDemo (2012-04-15).
Improved tracing of messsage flow.
V3.0.02 * Added AsyncWcfLib to http:\\nuget.org. This makes it possible to
download the assembly from VisualStudio Library Package Manager
(2012-04-08).
V3.0.00 * Added unit tests for VisualStudio 2012 async-await (2012-04-07).
2012-04-02 Removed Visual Studio 2008 solution
Reactivated Visual Studio 2010 solution
(async-await is excluded by conditional compilation)
2012-03-15 Added awaitable OperationContract (IWcfBasic.SendReceiveAsync).
BREAKING CHANGE: No communication from clients using async-await
to services of V2.2 is possible.
2012-03-12 Major API changes: ActorInput and ActorOutput added
(refactored WcfPartner classes to reflect the actor based model).
2012-02-14 Added Test2.ClientAsyncAwait to test the new API using
async/await of .NET Framework 4.5 in Visual Studio 2012.
Refactored Test1, Test2 and WcfRouter to use V2.2 API.
Some API enhancements where needed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AsyncWcfLib V 2.2, rev. 70, beta
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2012-01-27 Added Visual Studio 2012 (developer preview) solution.
Targeting .NET Framework 4.5.
2012-01-27 Changed default to TCP-binding.
On Windows 7 the Http-Binding leads to errors when ports are not
reserved using the command "netsh http add uriacl".
By default AsyncWcfLib selects the next free port for services.
This feature cannot be used with Http-Binding on Windows 7.
2012-01-27 Fixed issues with remote routers.
2012-01-27 Added Visual Studio 2010 solution. Targeting .NET Framework 3.5.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AsyncWcfLib V 2.1, rev. 61, beta
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2010-11-25 Some modifications to test Monos new compiler.
2010-10-20 WcfPartner.Output for access to remote service identification.
2010-10-08 WcfRouter synchronizes its service list from peer routers on
other hosts. The hosts must be configured.
2010-10-06 TCP portsharing for one application.
2010-10-04 changed GetConnectionState() to the more versatile OutputState
and InputStateFromNetwork properties.
WcfPartner.DisconnectAll also disconnects all network clients.
added and refined NDoc3 generated documentation.
moved basic classes into Basic namespace in order
to clean up the documentation.
BREAKING CHANGE: No communication to AsyncWcfLib V2.0 will be
possible as some WcfMessage are in the 'Basic' namespace.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AsyncWcfLib V 2.0, rev. 58, beta
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2010-09-28 released V2.0 after final tests and refinements.
2010-09-25 added interfaces IWcfPartnerInput and IWcfPartnerOutput for use
by active services.
2010-09-15 API changes to support late linking of WcfPartners to remote or
local partners.
2010-08-29 separated Test1.Client and ClientNoSync.
added Test1.ClientWinForm and ServiceActive.
added WcfServiceAssistant.InputDispatcher.
2010-08-10 added slow, parallel running service sessions
(as opposed to fast singleton services).
2010-08-09 added client timeout detection and multithreading runtime checks
into WcfBasicService.
2010-06-16 changed to a modified MIT license.
2010-06-06 added hooks to programmatically set service specific binding and
security credentials.
added strong typing to WcfPartner.UserContext.
2010-05-16 BREAKING CHANGE: No communication to AsyncWcfLib V1.x will be
possible as WcfPartner is no WcfMessage anymore.
WcfPartner is used as source and target of application internal
communication. new WcfPartnerMessage is used to connect or
disconnect from remote services.
2010-05-12 added Test1.TwoClients, testing application internal comm.
2010-04-19 added WcfApplication class for Windows and Unix console
exit handling.
2010-04-13 added projects and adapted code for building with MonoDevelop
under Linux. With mono V2.4.4 assemblies it is not yet possible
to open a remote WCF connection.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AsyncWcfLib V 1.1, rev. 23, stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2010-03-22 using ProcessId for client identification

- backup services are supported.
new Send method featuring inline callback handling using extension
method 'On<T>' and lambda expressions.
2010-03-20 added Test3, testing communication compatibility to version 1.0
of WcfLib. moved ApplicationInstance to WcfDefault
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AsyncWcfLib V 1.0, rev. 17, stable
