	  status of this branch.

	* README: Updated contents from the stable branch.

	* tutorial/example/*: Created similar tutorial to that on stable
	  branch. The only differences are differences to the API.

	* src/Filter.h, Makefile.am: Sorted out using config.h in Filter.h.

	* src/Filters/*: Moved filters into their own namespace,
	  in accordance with the convention used throughout this
	  library.

2001-03-08  Al Riddoch  <alriddoch@zepler.org>

	  Stream parameter, as they proved to be of no benefit to portability.

	* src/*: Finished off a bit more ISO conformance. (all std:: additions).

	  including memory pool optimisation, asNum() and isNum() methods, and

	  with changes type in Message::Object

2001-01-05  Stefanus Du Toit  <sjdutoit@uwaterloo.ca>

	* src/Filter.h: added filterbuf. Input filtering is not

	  installing the library.

2000-12-20  Al Riddoch  <ajr@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

	* Removed hierarchical namespaces, leaving single flat Atlas
	  namespace.

	* Reduced template usage, especially removing all Stream
	  templates.

	* Split codecs into header and cpp file, and removed static Codec
	  instances.

	* Re-worked factories() static member function in Factory
	  so it now uses portable static list pointer instead of static
	  list.

2000-12-19  Al Riddoch  <ajr@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

	* Added atlas-config script.

2000-12-13  Al Riddoch  <ajr@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

	* Decoder::unknownObjectArrived(const Entity::Empty&); ->
	Decoder::objectArrived(const Entity::Anonymous&);

	* s/Empty/Anonymous/

	* added Atlas::Objects::Entity::Empty class which is used when
 	unknown object has arrived (usually unknown objects have pos
 	attribute, which is dynamic in Root):
	Decoder::unknownObjectArrived(const Entity::Empty&);
	and for args: if(op->getArgs()[0]->getClassNo() == Entity::EMPTY_NO) ...

2000-12-02  Aloril  <aloril@iki.fi>

	* changed method names: FooMethod -> fooMethod

	* optimized src/Objects: now few hundred times faster than earlier

	  remain. Will be removed once we are sure this is stable.
	
2000-11-01  Al Riddoch  <ajr@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

	* Fixed negotiation so it is now possible for packed to get picked.
	  (Packed decoder appears to segfault though)
