+ <LI>
+ Completely redesigned the IDL compiler using the Visitor
+ patterns. Many incomplete issues have been resolved. These
+ include support for "sequence of typecodes", passing object
+ references as in, inout, and out parameters. Code generation for
+ sequences is also properly handled i.e., for a named sequence
+ such as "typedef sequence <char> CharSeq;", we now generate a
+ new class (and hence a type) called "class CharSeq". Arrays are
+ still being worked out and will be done soon.
+
+ An important difference in the generated code is that the
+ skeletons now use a table driven approach very similar to the
+ stubs.

Support for the "native" keyword added.</LI>
