This file lists the major changes and improvements made to AspectC++,
Ag++, and the PUMA framework.

Version 1.0pre2 (2005-12-21)

        * weaver improvements
          - friend declarations are also woven into structs
          - fixed handling of nested classes in template classes
          - support for introductions into aspects
          - generated constructors can now handle anonymous unions
          - array wrappers (needed by generated copy constructors)
            have been improved
          - implemented call advice for conversion functions
          - fixed call advice to functions that are declared as friend
          - fixed generated code for call advice for unary and binary
            operators if the call was located in a static member function
          - signatures of functions in namespace are now correct
          - fixed problem with access rights of wrapper code that is
            generated to implement call advice
          - support for the 'virtual' keyword in function signature
            match expressions
          - fixed several bugs related to call advice
          - fixed 1.0pre1 problem with execution advice for introduced
            functions
          - implemented several workarounds for VC++ parser problems

        * parser
          - fixed numerous bugs (see bugzilla #269, #270, #272, ..)

        * improved debugging support, error messages, warnings
          - #line directives for generated code fragments now point to
            the location in the generated files
          - the weaver now detects problematic code transformations
            in macro-generated code and prints a warning. Other
            transformations in the translation unit are not affected
            by this problem anymore
          - removed some useless warnings

        * improved project repository
          - order advice is now listed in the repository

        * performance and generated code size
          - header files with an include guard are not expanded anymore
            in STU mode if the guard macro is already defined. This
            reduces the size of the generated code enormously
          - improved performance and code size by grouping transformations
          - fixed the performance problem that drastically increased
            compilation time for SystemC application. The problem was an
            inefficient algorithm in the name lookup code if the system
            massively uses virtual inheritance.
          - simplified the scanner to improve the performance

        * updated the quick reference sheet and the language reference
          - virtual function matching
          - intros into aspects

        * added a number of the test programs for every fixed problem and
          new feature
