for online docs (a copy is included in distribution). 

Changes in this release:
 
    - A regression testing framework was implemented.
    - New <implicit-dependency> feature was added for better handling 
      of dependencies to generated headers.
    - The link-compatibility checks not longer cause projects to be skipped,
      and issue warning, not error, for main targets.    
    - Algorithm for selecting main target alternative was improved.
    - The <dependency> feature was renamed to <use>.
    - Project root constants were made available in project root itself.

The following bugs were fixed:

    - failure to recognize shared libraries with version as such
    - the 'path-constant' rule was mishandling absolute paths on Windows.
