+2011-09-19     RELEASE 1.4
+
+    !! Release 1.4 is no longer API compatible with old versions of this module !!
+
+    NEW:
+
+        * Modified the signature of Artifact.setup() -> Artifact.setup(CallMeta).
+          The CallMeta is required for I18N support while setting up an
+          Artifact. !! THIS MODIFICATION BREAKS THE CURRENT API !!
+
+        * Modified the signature of Service.setup() -> Service.setup(GlobalContext).
+
+        * Introduced a LifetimeListener interface: applications can register
+          instances of this interface to execute tasks after the system goes and
+          and before the system goes down.
+
+        * Introduced a BackendListener interface: applications can register
+          instances of this interface to execute tasks after an event has been
+          fired. See the JavaDoc of BackendListener for detailed descriptions of
+          the events.
+
+        * Introduced "Hooks": Hooks can be used to execute tasks at a specific
+          point in time. In our cases, Hooks can be executed before/after feed()
+          and advance() operations.
+
+        * Introduced a GlobalContext interface for the global context object:
+          this interface describes two method to put new objects into this
+          context and a method to retrieve objects from this context.
+
+        * Introduced a CreationFilter: this filter might be used to create
+          Artifacts with restricted Outputs/Facets.
+
+        * Introduced a Message interface: Messages might be used by background
+          threads to provide information about the process (e.g. status reports).
+
+        * Improved ArtifactDatabaseImpl to support background messages.
+
+        * Improved the CallContext interface: added a method isInBackground()
+          that determines if the current Artifact has started a background
+          thread which is still processing.
+
+        * Improved the CallContext interface: added methods to add/retrieve
+          background messages.
+
+        * Improved the State interface: added a endOfLife() method that should
+          be called by owner Artifacts.
+
+        * Improved the interface of Facets: added a deepCopy() method to be able
+          to clone Facets.
+
+        * Improved the interface of Facets: added a toXML() method.
+
+        * Improved the ArtifactDatabase: added a method loadAllArtifacts(ArtifactLoadedCallback)
+          to load all Artifacts of an ArtifactCollection.
+
+        * Improved XMLUtils: added support for variables in XPath expression.
+
+        * Added a FileTools helper class that implements some convinience
+          functions to work with files.
+
+        * Some little improvements in ClientProtocolUtils.
+
+        * Bumped SLF4J up to 2.0.7.
+
+        * Bumped H2 up to 1.3.158.
+
+        * Bumped Apache DBCP up to 1.4.
+
+        * Bumped PostgreSQL driver up to 8.4-702.jdbc4.
+
+
+    FIXED:
+
+        * flys/issue20 (Versions-Clash bei slf4j verhindert Start des Artefakt-Servers.)
