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


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

VERSION 2.0.0 (21/06/2014)

* Upgraded to Java 6

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

VERSION 1.4 ( June 30, 2006 )

* New classes
  > MatchRuleFilter

* ObjectContainer
  > Added
    - public boolean removeEqual( AttributeReadAccess object )

* ObjectContainerTest
  > Added
    - test_remove_1() - test_remove_2()
    - test_removeEqual_1() - test_removeEqual_2()

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

VERSION 1.3 ( February 24, 2006 )

* ObjectContainer
  > Changed to use IObjectFilter rather than ObjectFilter
  
* Depends now on PF-BIF V1.0 and PF-Utilities V3.0 or later
  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

VERSION 1.2 ( May 28, 2005 )

* ObjectContainer
  > New methods
    - public AttributeReadAccess findFirst( ObjectFilter filter )
    - public ObjectSearchResult find( ObjectFilter filter )
    - public void find( ObjectSearchResult result, ObjectFilter filter )
    - public ObjectContainer copy() 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

VERSION 1.1 ( August 13, 2004 )

* New class ObjectSearchResult

* ObjectContainer
  > Public interface changed for most find-methods
    
    They are now using ObjectSearchResult rather than ObjectContainer
    for the search result. However, ObjectSearchResult is a subclass
    of ObjectContainer which minimizes migration effort.
    
    - public ObjectSearchResult findIgnoreCase( String rule )
    - public ObjectSearchResult find( MatchRule rule ) 
    - public void find( ObjectSearchResult result, MatchRule rule )
    - public ObjectSearchResult find( String rule ) 
    
  > New methods 
    - public void find( ObjectSearchResult result, String rule, 
                        boolean ignoreCase )

* BUGFIX: find(...) in ObjectContainer returned wrong result due to
    bug in MapFacade
  > MapFacade
  > Cleared cached attrNames in 
    - public void setObject( AttributeReadAccess object ) 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

VERSION 1.0 ( July 30, 2004 )

* Provides three classes that support simple searching for objects
  using rules based on the objects' attributes (see org.pf.text.MatchRule)
    
  > Classes
    - ObjectContainer
    - ExtendedMap
    - MapFacade
