>     * NLog.Layout became sealed.
>     * FileTarget.KeepFileOpen is back to the default of false. we
>       now have <default-target-parameters /> so this default can
>       be easily overriden.
>     * Added NLog.TargetWithLayout, removed Layout and CompiledLayout
>       from NLog.Target
>     * Removed CSVFile target, converted examples to File + CsvLayout
>     * Removed LogEventInfo.Empty and replaced with
>       LogEventInfo.CreateNullEvent()
>     * Changed the default value of FileTarget.OpenFileCacheTimeout to -1
>
> Packaging changes:

>     * Added publisher policy generation and established NLog versioning
>       policy. See http://blog.jkowalski.net/?p=55 for more information
>       about NLog versioning policy.
>     * Build number is synchronized with SVN number.
>     * Added VJSharp and Web item templates. Updated the installer to
>       support VWD Express 2005.
>     * Synchronized Visual Studio solutions to source code
>       directories. Now part of the build process.
>     * New NLog.Benchmark that uses code generation and compilation
>       to create more "clean" environment.

> Changes to the logging infrastructure:

>     * Added <targets><default-target-parametes /></targets> that

>     * Added Initialize() and Close() to the LayoutRender class
>     * Added optimized CurrentTimeGetter which is way faster than
>       DateTime.Now
>     * Fixed LayoutRenderer.ApplyPadding() null handling
>     * Added infrastructure to create your own logger types inheriting
>       from Logger:
>
>       LogManager.GetLogger(string name, Type type)
>       LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger(Type type)
>       LogFactory.GetLogger(string name, Type type)
>       LogFactory.GetCurrentClassLogger(Type type)
>
>     * Added PopulateLayouts() method to ILayout
>     * Added ${event-context} layout renderer that extracts
>       information from LogEventInfo.Context
>     * Added LogManager<LoggerType> that manages logger instances of
>       LoggerType where LoggerType : Logger
>     * Added support for nested layout renderers. Used in
>       ${file-contents}:
>
>       ${file-contents:fileName=${basedir}/aaa.txt}
>
>     * Added support for DEFAULT nested layout parameters. You can
>       now write:
>
>       ${file-contents:${basedir}/file.txt}
>       ${rot13:URYYB}
>
>     * Added pluggable layouts (CSV, Log4JXml), LayoutFactory and
>       LayoutAttribute. The syntax is:
>
>       <target xsi:type="File">
>         <layout xsi:type="CSVLayout">
>           <column name="message" layout="${message}"/>
>           <column name="level" layout="${level}"/>
>         </layout>
>       </target>
>
>       Of course the old syntax is still supported for simple layouts:
>
>       <target xsi:type="File" layout="${message}"/>
>
>     * Added ILayoutWithHeaderAndFooter for layouts that support
>       header/footer (such as CSV Layout, more to come)
>     * Enhanced XSD Schema generation by properly generating abstract
>       and layout properties.
>     * Added FilterResult.IgnoreFinal and FilterResult.LogFinala which
>       suppress processing of further rules if the filter matches.
>     * Added NLogConfigurationException which is thrown instead of CLR
>       exceptions when the configuration fails
>     * Simplified XmlLoggingConfiguration by splitting large methods and
>       moving common functionality to PropertyHelper
>     * Added [DefaultParameter] attribute which allows for nameless
>       parameters to layout renderers:
>
>       ${aspnet-application}
>       ${aspnet-request}
>       ${aspnet-session}
>       ${date}
>       ${environment}
>       ${file-contents}
>       ${gdc}
>       ${mdc}
>       ${process-info}
>       ${special-folder}
>       ${asp-application}
>       ${asp-request}
>       ${asp-session}
>
>     * Moved the implementation of LogManager to a reusable
>       LogFactory while maintaining its public interface. You can
>       noweasily have a private LogManager for an assembly.

> New additions:
>
>     * Added MaxMessageSize (default: 65000) and OnOverflow
>       (default:Split) to the Network target
>     * Implemented headers and footers for the File target. CAUTION NLog
>       automatically writes footers for files that have not been written
>       for 2 days (48 hours). This is done do conserve memory for
>       long-running processes that create lots of log files.
>     * Enabled DatabaseTarget.ConnectionString to include layouts.
>     * Added eventID and categoryID parameters to EventLog targets.
>     * Added ${file-contents} layout renderer which inserts file
>       contents.
>     * Added MailTarget.AddNewLines to insert new lines between
>       header/lines/footer
>     * Added FormControl target that logs to Text property of
>       any Windows.Forms.Control
>     * Added RichTextBox target with row- and word coloring that
>       logs to RichTextBox
>     * Added ${tempdir} and ${specialfolder}
>     * Added ${gc} which can be used to get the GC statistics (very
>       limited)
>     * Added ${processinfo} which can be used to extract the performance
>       information about the current process (possibly others in the
>       future as well)
>     * Added ImpersonatingWrapper which temporarily changes the
>       credentials for the duration of the write.
>     * Added NLog_Init() and NLog_InitLocal() APIs to NLogC
>
> Bug fixes:
>
>     * Fixed File target for Windows 98
>     * Fixed Network target to work properly with IPV6
>     * Changed RichTextBox Target to be thread safe. Uses delegate to log
>       to RichTextBox
>
> Documentation updates:
>
>     * Added examples of inheriting from Logger class and wrapping it
>     * Added missing code documentation
>     * Added example ${rot13} layout renderer - that demonstrates how
>       wrapper layout renderers can be written.
>     * Added proper camelCasing to the web build process
>     * Fix for multiple email addresses being passed in To,CC and BCC
>       fields under .NET 2.0 (reported by Pawel Parzychowski)
