===============================================================================

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

  retrieve the Avalon parameters easily.

o Added a Shutdown service to dispose the YAAFI container 
o Transparent decryption of configuration files 
o Added reconfiuration service ro reconfigure YAAFI if the component 
  configuration file has changed 
o Provide context mapping in the case that YAAFI is embedded in another 
  Avalon container (experimental) 
o Improved bootstrapping of YAAFI using containerConfiguration.xml 
o Decryption of configuration files 
o Added cryptography support based on JCE/JCA 
o Using ServiceManagerConfig to capture the configuration data for YAAFI 
o Refactored some code into AvalonContextHelper and InputStreamLocator 
o Parsing a "component-type" element for the future 
o Parsing a "description" element of the role configuration file 
o Extending ServiceManagerService to store Parameters and Context

  YAAFI now works embedded into JAMES. 

  Fixed bugs:

o Fixed bug in ShutdownService resulting in excessive CPU usage. 
o Updated Turbine integration found in the 'contrib' directory 
o Updated CLI to make it fit for one of our products 
o Removed CVS tags since it makes maintainance difficult 
o Removed obsolete email address 
o Fixed wrong default values for parameters file if no value was defined. 
o Fixed bug in ServiceManagerService - the static field was not reset during 
  a dispose() leading to a NPE in the second invocation. 

  Changes:

o Improved the implementation of BaseServiceImpl

  shorthand instead of the class name
