Release 2.3
-----------
Build 3 - Module support
- SYS: Cristal now supports multiple domain libraries concurrently - CRISTAL modules. Each declares its components in a module.xml in the root of its jar which can add config, resources, items and agents. Also scripts on startup/shutdown.
Build 2 - Java 1.6 Compliance
Build 1 - First GIT commit
- SYS: Cleaned up some proxy methods. getContents() now calls storage directly.
- SYS: Removed Orbacus. Use JDK ORB instead. Use JDK idlj compiler instead of Orbacus one. Remove all Orbacus tools.

Release 2.2
-----------

- GUI: Fixed NullPointerException trying to open items from tree collection.
- WF: Implemented version numbers for wfdef references
- DB: Separated LocalObjectLoader from Resource. Implemented cache for unmarshalled activity defs.

Build 1
- DB: Removed schema validator caching

- GUI: Attributes are included in the first grabFocus() search
- GUI: Dimensions no longer create an empty first row when they are created, if their minOccurs is 0.
- SYS: Item and Agent factories have been replaced with a single item created on boot. It is registered with the name of the server so it is now possible for a centre to be shared between more than one server process.
- GUI: Cleaned up menus
- GUI: Unified Wf and Coll property pane into a single Vertex one
- WF: Removed a lot of Aglium specific stuff - commonInterface, timeOut, Prefill
- WF: Removed errors on no child in compostite activity and XOR script existence checking (too heavy)
- GUI: Elementary activity outcome handler - based on property pane.
- GUI: Cut down calls to check for Admin role. GUI will have to be restarted for admin role change to take effect.
- GUI: Better read-only support in vertex property panel. New panel for act defs - finds child act def item.
- GRAPH: clicking outside a vertex selects the containing graphable vertex, if present. Used for editing props of composite activity def etc.
- SYS: Entity Exception throwing clarified
- LDAP: Role management API simplified. Roles can now have no agents.
- LDAP: Reorganised the LDAP package into various managers, simplified API. Most calls now go through the Path objects. No LDAP library objects should leave the lookup package now.
- COLL: ClassCastException on Dependency.removeMember(id) fixed
- BOOT: Bootloader creates script, activity definition and schema items at boot time. Old resource schema loading disabled.
- SYS: Console ports are automatically assigned if none is specified. Chosen port is logged. GUI Client Console menu option is aware of the choice.
- SYS: Console access: Default policy is to only allow connection from localhost.
- GUI: List Of Values in outcome form - only supports enumerations for now.
- SCR: Added support for <include> tag in script xml to include other scripts
- GUI: Removed 'auto-refresh execution pane' option - set to always reload
- SYS: Changed SoftCache implementation to use ReferenceQueue to manage reaped objects. Should be more efficient.
- LDAP: Changed LDAP property storage to attribute instead on child entry. Lots faster and appears in alias for query.
- SYS: Moved all API objects out of AbstractMain into the Gateway. AbstractMain is no longer required to initialise a kernel process.
- SYS: Moved Gateway to process package. Moved LDAP init to process.Bootstrap - will be entry point for basic item creation
