  5            

  6 mike  1.3      -	Fix case sensitivity problems in repository (just add an _Open method
  7            	that ignores the case of the file).

  8 mike  1.1  

  9 mike  1.5      -	Add newly implemented repository operations to protocol and to

 23            

 24 mike  1.12     - 	GetInstances() and GetClasses() need to use iterators on 
 25            	provider and repository end. Otherwise, all classes or instance
 26            	to be enumerated, must be sucked into memory.
 27                

 28 mike  1.10     -   Template bloat reduction.
 29

 86 mike  1.1  

 87 mike  1.5      -	The TCPChannel::writeN() method blocks when the client and server

116 mike  1.1  

117 mike  1.5      -	Distinguish between private and public classes (otherwise, users may
