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

June 2005    Version 3.5b0
        - Finished modificatons to work with .NET
        - Created RSConstants.pas file, which includes basic types and constants.
          Some of these constants and types were moved from IEConsts.pas and
          FuzzyConsts.pas
          Among the most important new types:
                - TRSPointerType, which equals Pointer in Win32 and TObject in .NET
                - TRSStringPointerType, which equals PChar in Win32 and String in .NET
        - Modified most files to:
                - Include RSDefines.inc
                - Include RSConstants.pas
                - Changed all methods and properties that use IUnknown interface to use
                  IInterface interface.  Added IInterface interface for Delphi 5 support
                - Changed all QueryInterface calls to use Supports functions.
                - Removed reference counting code for .NET (not needed)
                - Changed ToString properties to AsString and GetToString methods to
                  ToString to sync better with .NET (in which all objects have ToString
                  method)
                - Changed Tag properties to be of TRSTag type (Win32=Integer;.NET=Variant)
                - Introduced TxxxPersistent class to get around a delphi
                  compiler bug with class helpers (QC report #11019)
                - Added inherited Creates calls to constructors for
                  compatibility with .NET
                - Deleted AfterConstruction and BeforeDestruction methods (for .NET)
                - Extracted icons from DCR files to create assembly bitmap files
                  for design-time icons in .NET
                - Conditional compiled IUnknown methods (_addref, _release...)
                  because they are not needed with .NET
        RiverSoftAVG Common Classes Library (GCollections package in Delphi 5, 6, and 7;
                               RSCommon package in Delphi 2005 (Win32) and
                               RiverSoftAVG.Common assembly in VCL.NET)
                - Created TRSEncodedBits class (in RSEncodedBits.pas), a TBits descendant
                  with methods to encode/decode simple types into the TBits
                - Modified InterfaceCollections.pas
                        - Modified TGInterfaceList to descend from TPersistent
                        - Modified descendants of TGInterfaceList to correctly override
                          methods
                        - Modified list classes to use a dynamic arrays instead of a
                          pointer to such an array (as used for Win32).  The pointer
                          implementation was left for Win32 since it is faster than the
                          dynamic array implementation
                        - Changed DEMO out of memory errors to use standard Exception,
                          instead of EOutOfMemory exception, which (contrary to help file)
                          seems to have disappeared from the SysUtils unit
                - Modified HelperFunctions.pas
                        - Added WriteStringToStream function
                        - Added SameValue and Supports functions for Delphi 5
                        - Added CreateObjectClass and ClonePersistentClass methods
                - Modified GStreams.pas
                        - Added Close method to TGBufferStream (useful for .NET)
                        - TGSpecialFiler is not available for .NET (because can't crack
                          protected methods of TReader/TWriter)
                - Modified GRegularExpression.pas
                        - Modified String references to AnsiString references (for .NET
                          compatibility).  The Regular Expression object must use
                          AnsiString (one byte characters) because it uses set operations
                          which do not work with wide chars.
                - Modified GParser.pas
                         - Changed StrScan calls to Pos, even though StrScan is faster it is not
                         .NET compatible
                - Modified GLists.pas
                         - Added TQOrderedList class, which is base class for the TQxxx
                           stacks and queues, and TQOrderedListClass type.  These classes
                           are useful because they have a virtual constructor, unlike
                           Borland's classes
                - Modified GHashtable.pas
                         - Modified TGCustomHashTable to use a dynamic array of hash
                           table entries (THashtableEntries) instead of a pointer to
                           such an array (as used for Win32).  The pointer implementation
                           was left for Win32 since it is faster than the dynamic array
                           implementation
                - Modified GGraph.pas
                         - Changed TGCustomGraph.AddNode method visibility from protected
                           to public (.NET does not like changing visiblity with methods)
                - Modified DataStructures.pas
                         - Added TFloatHeapElement, TFloatHeap, and TFloatPriorityQueue classes
                         - Changed TPriorityList.OrderedListClass to use GLists.TQOrderedList
                           instead of Borland's classes because we can't get to the items of the
                           list quickly
                - Modified Structures.pas
                         - Added overloaded AddObject method to TGStringList
                - Added RSGraphics.pas, moved from internal development package to common
                  classes library.  Modified RSGraphics.pas as well:
                         - Added RSCenterPoint functions
                         - Added DrawPieSlice procedure
                         - Added DrawArrow procedure and TArrowOption types
                         - Changed Gradient functions to accept an open array of TColor,
                           instead of TColors
                         - Moved TObjectSize from Game.pas to RSGraphics.pas
                         - Created hierarchy of TRSCustomRect, TRSObjectRect, and TObjectSize
                         - Added TRSRect, TRSPoint and functions to manipulate them
                         - Added overloaded DrawShape procedures and TRSShapeStyle type
                         - Fixed LineGradient to handle "reversed" TRects (left > Right, etc)
                         - Fixed RotateFont to change font name if font is not a true type
                           (and wouldn't thus rotate)
                         - Added GetRotatedTextExtent function (Delphi's Canvas.TextExtent
                           does not work for rotated fonts)


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

March 2005    Version 3.4
        - Added RSConsts.pas and DataStructures.pas to package


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

January 2005    Version 3.3
        - Modified to work with Delphi 5, 6, 7, and 2005 (Win32)
                - Added RSDefines.inc to simplify updates for new
                  versions of Delphi
                - Modified source files to use RSDefines.inc
	- Renamed GCollections package to RSCommon package for Delphi 2005 ONLY
	- Modified source files to work with .NET (Incomplete)


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

May 2004    Version 3.2
      - Added RSGraphics and RSVector units to Common library


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

March 2004    Version 3.1 (First Separated History for Common Library)
      - Added code to TGCollection and TGCollectionItem to attempt to
        mimic notifies like Delphi 6 and 7 collections
      - Added IVector interface
      - Changed ILocation interface to descend from ICloneable
      - Installation script is much smarter about managing the different Delphi versions
