Added a new class DynamicLibrary which is a wrapper around the system
independent linltdl from the libtool. You can use it for loading
symbols from shared libraries at runtime.
Added new functions ifelse which implement (a?a:b), but without the
drawback of having expression a evaluated twice.
"libbfd" from the GNU binutils is now no more linked to the library,
but loaded at runtime using the new DynamicLibrary class. This way,
there is a dependency less in the RPMs. The dependency was bad,
because the libbfd does not use the normal library versioning, so you
used to have to install the exactly same version of the binutils, as
the compiler of the RPMs, and this was inacceptable for me.

Added facilities for handling UNIX C library calls that set variable
errno in class Errno and in exeption unix_error
New static methods in Args to simplify access to command line
parameters.

There is a new configuration file handler to read and write settings
from a Unix like configuration file.

Conversion from string mrw::to<> and string operator>> throw exception
in case of failure!

The new implementation of Exec was not so stable, now it works perfectly.
New feature: A simple string tokenizer, in the regular expressions module.
2004-12-14
Extended Exec so, that it is possible to pass stdin to the child
process.
2004-12-10:
Added a new library for handling regular expressions (because using
boost resultet in link errors
UPDATE:
Found the source of boost problem: It's kdevelops fault, kdevelop
disables C++ by default (-fno-exception -fno-rtti)! The regexp library
still remains, but may be deleted in future, if I think that boost's
is better. Customer feedback is welcome, please tell me if you need my
implementation.

StackTrace now can load not only the executable, but also shared
libraries. On Linux, if StackTrace is initialized without parameters,
then not only the executable is loaded, but all shared libraries with
their offset are parsed from /proc/self/maps.
- no more need for /usr/bin/ldd
- new functions mrw::readline
