---------------------------------------
---        Version 5.0 build 77     ---
---------------------------------------
* Corrected bug determining if a object is applicable when collecting data. 

---------------------------------------
---        Version 5.0 build 74     ---
---------------------------------------
* Corrected bug display of object and definition ids as they are being processed. Bug caused objects that wer actually not applicable to be flagged as not collected.

---------------------------------------
---        Version 5.0 build 71     ---
---------------------------------------
* Added support for data collection of win-def:passwordpolicy_object. Need to figure out how to get password_complexity and reversible_encryption fields. 
* Added support for data collection of win-def:lockoutpolicy_object. 
* Added support for data collection of win-def:auditeventpolicy_object.
* Added support for data collection of win-def:sid_test. 
* Added support for data collection of win-def:fileeffectiverights_test. 
* Added support for data collection of win-def:accesstoken_test.
* Added support for data collection of win-def:group_test.
* Added support for data collection of win-def:user_test.
* Corrected bug in Object::Parse method. There was a typo in the name of the behaviors element that would cause behaviors to be ignored.
* Corrected bug in AbsObjectCollector::ProcessSet method. CollectedSets were no always being initilaized causing a NULLptr error.
* Corrected bug in error reporting on windows FileProbe. Error messages were being appended one after the other resulting in many repeated messages.
* Corrected bug in Item::Write() method. Only one message element is allowed on a given item.

---------------------------------------
---        Version 5.0 build 67     ---
---------------------------------------
* Added support for external variables. 
* Cleaned up command line processing. Added better messages when invalid command line options are provided.
* Corrected typo in parse function that would have caused the datatype on constant variables to be ignored when parsing and always treated as the a string
* Corrected bug in reporting of result on a tested_item element. In some cases the result was left as it default error value. This did not effect the overall result computation for a a test.
* Corrected bug in Variable probe causing it to always fail to collect variable information.
* Added support to the WMIProbe for addition datatypes. Previously only supported strings.
* Corrected bug in AbsObjectCollector that lead to error details not being reported in the system-characteristics file.

---------------------------------------
---        Version 5.0 build 55     ---
---------------------------------------
* Corrected a bug in analysis of extended definitions. Definition result values were not properly cached after initial analysis. Caused incorrect result when a extended definition is used more than once.
* Corrected a bug in analysis of tests. Tests result values were not properly cached after initial analysis. May have caused in accurate results when a test is reused.
* Corrected a bug in xmlfilecontent probe and file md5 probe. Both probes were using a windows path separator character regardless of the platform they were run on. This prevented proper data collection on UNIX platforms.
* Corrected a bug related to locating elements in an oval definition document when all elements are prefixed by an xmlns alias. The search method used was not properly matching prefixed elements. 
* Corrected bug in Test::Analyze function - When a CollectedObject has a flag value of NOT_COLLECTED_FLAG the result value should be UNKNOWN_RESULT not NOT_EVALUATED_RESULT.
* Corrected bug in OvalEnum::CombineResultsByCheck method when check was ONLY_ONE_CHECK results were not always correct.
* Corrected bug in Test::Analyze method. When a CollectedObject has a flag of NOT_COLLECTED_FLAG the result should be UNKNOWN_RESULT. When a check of NONE_EXIST_CHECK is specified the results were not always correct.
* Corrected bug in xpath code. removed extra ItemEntity created when creating a xmlfilecontent_item.
* Corrected bug in Definition::Analyze method. Added line to set the flag indicating that the definition has been analyzed.
* Corrected bug in processing of flag attribute on collected objects when the definition object is a set object. Added new CollectedSet class to support changes.

---------------------------------------
---       Version 5.0 build 2       ---
---------------------------------------
* Included final version of oval v5 schemas

---------------------------------------
---           Version 5.0 beta 3    ---
---------------------------------------
* Updated to support version 5 rc 3 of the OVAL Schema
* Corrected collection of inetlisteningservers_object
* Corrected EntityComparator class to follow the oval schema based on conversation on the oval-developer's list
* TODO: implement AbsProbeFactory class and then refactor the Windows, Solaris, and Linux ProbeFactory classes. This change will simplify the creating of new ProbeFactory classes and provide the set of independent schema probes for all other concrete ProbeFactory classes to utilize.
* TODO: implement activedirectory_object probe 
* TODO: create a generic Linux Makefile using autoconf. Currently the Makefile has dependencies on various rpm libraries as does the source code. Using autoconf rpm code and dependencies should be excluded if rpm is not installed.

---------------------------------------
---           Version 5.0 beta 2    ---
---------------------------------------
* Updated to support version 5 rc 2 of the OVAL Schema
* Added support for Linux data collection for the following objects:
      - rpminfo_object
      - inetlisteningservers_object
* Added support for Unix data collection for the following objects:
      - file_object
      - process_object
      - uname_object
* Added support for Windows data collection for the following objects:
      - wmi_object
* Restructured source tree to better mirror OVAL Schema
* Added in stubs for future Solaris implementation. (Needs to be implemented) 
* TODO: implement AbsProbeFactory class and then refactor the Windows, Solaris, and Linux ProbeFactory classes. This change will simplify the creating of new ProbeFactory classes and provide the set of independent schema probes for all other concrete ProbeFactory classes to utilize.
* TODO: implement activedirectory_object probe 
* TODO: create a generic Linux Makefile using autoconf. Currently the Makefile has dependencies on various rpm libraries as does the source code. Using autoconf rpm code and dependencies should be excluded if rpm is not installed.

---------------------------------------
---           Version 5.0 beta 1    ---
---------------------------------------
* Initial support for version 5 of the OVAL Schema
* Does not support external variables
* Supports only windows data collection for the following objects:
	- registry_object
	- unknown_object
	- xml file content_object
	- file_object
	- filemd5_object
	- variable_object
	- environemntvariable_object
	- family_object
* Supports definition analysis for all types of definitions.
