+Xbase64 (Sept 15, 2003)
+------------------------
+
+Xbase64 was branched off the xbase C++ class lib project and given a new name.
+
+There are significant changes in this release.
+
+1) The original author (Gary Kunkel) has resumed working on the project.
+
+2) The project was branched and renamed to xbase64 with 64 bit file
+ processing capabilities. The xbase name is being used by other projects,
+ so I thought it was time for a new name.
+
+3) Modified the license from LGPL to GPL as recommended by the GNU web site.
+ Files that I have not been able to get permission from the original
+ author for GPL terms have beed deleted from the library.
+
+4) Trimmed the tree: Dropped support for the xbHtml class, the turbo vision
+ interface, and the ybase directory. These are either unused, not working,
+ undocumented, not maintained, or I didn't have authority to change the
+ license from LGPL to GPL.
+
+5) Didn't move make files forward that were not documented or working.
+ These need to be reviewed and brought forward.
+
+6) Worked on the locking logic.
+
+7) Added support for Borland C++ 5.x compiler.
+
+8) Created a new data type of XB_BOOL. Current bool data type was causing
+ issues in certain environments.
+
+9) Dropped support for XB_CASTELLANO dates. Changed the logic to use
+ system locale settings, this supports descriptive dates in different
+ languages.
+
+10) Cleaned up memory leaks.
+
+11) Updates to the documentation.
+
+12) Enhancements to the expression logic
+
+13) Fixed the broken index logic - the ndx and ntx indices are working
+ again.

+xbase library.
