What's new in XMvn 1.1.0

* Major bugfixes

  * Dangling symlinks

    Version 1.1.0 fixes a bug that caused relative symbolic links
    creted by XMvn to be incorrect in many cases.

* Minor features

  * Improved debugging messages

    XMvn 1.1.0 tries to better describe reasons of build failure.
    Some new logging messages were introduced.  New useful data was
    added to some other messages.  Effective packaging rules are
    printed even for skipped artifacts.

  * Strict mode of XMvn Subst

    XMvn Subst 1.1.0 introduced a new option -- strict mode.  In
    this mode XMvn Subst will fail if there are any artifacts that
    were unable to replace with symbolic links.

  * Dry run mode of XMvn Subst

    XMvn Subst 1.1.0 supports dru run.  In this mode it will fail
    not replace any artifacts, but report what would be normally
    done.

  * Skipped artifacts

    Metadata generated by XMvn 1.1.0 and later versions includes
    information about artifacts which were part of Maven reactor,
    but were not installed.  This information will be used by Java
    Packages Tools for performing better sanity checks on built
    packages.

  * Compressed metadata files

    XMvn 1.1.0 can read metadata files compressed with GNU zip.  For
    bigger files this will allow them to be stored entirely in
    i-nodes and therefore improve performance and decrease disk
    usage.
