  New in JsonCpp 0.6.0:
  ---------------------

* Compilation

  - LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH environment variables are now 
    propagated to the build environment as this is required for some 
    compiler installation.

  - Added support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (bug #2930462): 
    The platform "msvc90" has been added.

    Notes: you need to setup the environment by running vcvars32.bat 
    (e.g. MSVC 2008 command prompt in start menu) before running scons.
    
  - Added support for amalgated source and header generation (a la sqlite).
    Refer to README.txt section "Generating amalgated source and header"
    for detail.
    
* Value

  - Removed experimental ValueAllocator, it caused static 
    initialization/destruction order issues (bug #2934500). 
    The DefaultValueAllocator has been inlined in code.
    
  - Added support for 64 bits integer:
  
    Types Json::Int64 and Json::UInt64 have been added. They are aliased
	to 64 bits integers on system that support them (based on __int64 on 
	Microsoft Visual Studio platform, and long long on other platforms).
	
	Types Json::LargestInt and Json::LargestUInt have been added. They are
	aliased to the largest integer type supported: 
	either Json::Int/Json::UInt or Json::Int64/Json::UInt64 respectively.
	
	Json::Value::asInt() and Json::Value::asUInt() still returns plain
	"int" based types, but asserts if an attempt is made to retrieve
	a 64 bits value that can not represented as the return type.
	
	Json::Value::asInt64() and Json::Value::asUInt64() have been added
	to obtain the 64 bits integer value.
	
	Json::Value::asLargestInt() and Json::Value::asLargestUInt() returns
	the integer as a LargestInt/LargestUInt respectively. Those functions
	functions are typically used when implementing writer.
	
	The reader attempts to read number as 64 bits integer, and fall back
	to reading a double if the number is not in the range of 64 bits 
	integer.
    
    Warning: Json::Value::asInt() and Json::Value::asUInt() now returns
    long long. This changes break code that was passing the return value
    to *printf() function.
  
    Support for 64 bits integer can be disabled by defining the macro 
	JSON_NO_INT64 (uncomment it in json/config.h for example), though
	it should have no impact on existing usage.
    
  - The type Json::ArrayIndex is used for indexes of a JSON value array. It
    is an unsigned int (typically 32 bits).
	
  - Array index can be passed as int to operator[], allowing use of literal:
    Json::Value array;
	array.append( 1234 );
	int value = array[0].asInt();  // did not compile previously

  - Added float Json::Value::asFloat() to obtain a floating point value as a
    float (avoid lost of precision warning caused by used of asDouble() 
    to initialize a float).

* Reader

  - Renamed Reader::getFormatedErrorMessages() to getFormattedErrorMessages.
    Bug #3023708 (Formatted has 2 't'). The old member function is deprecated
    but still present for backward compatibility.
    
* Tests

  - Added test to ensure that the escape sequence "\/" is corrected handled 
    by the parser.

* Bug fixes

  - Bug #3139677: JSON [1 2 3] was incorrectly parsed as [1, 3]. Error is now 
    correctly detected.
    
  - Bug #3139678: stack buffer overflow when parsing a double with a
    length of 32 characters.
	
  - Fixed Value::operator <= implementation (had the semantic of operator >=).
    Found when addigin unit tests for comparison operators.
    
  - Value::compare() is now const and has an actual implementation with
    unit tests.
    
* License
  
  - See file LICENSE for details. Basically JsonCpp is now licensed under 
    MIT license, or public domain if desired and recognized in your jurisdiction.
    Thanks to Stephan G. Beal [http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/]) who
	helped figuring out the solution to the public domain issue.
