January 9th, 2009

· [add] Actions (see documents.interaction.actions.*)
· [add] Annotations (see documents.interaction.annotations.*)
· [add] Acroform (see documents.interaction.forms.*)
· [add] Page-level navigation (see documents.navigation.page.*)
· [add] Document-level navigation (see documents.navigation.document.*)

· [fix:1909704] Symptom: case-insensitive programming languages experience namespace collision.
· Cause: some classes (ColorSpaces, Fonts, XObjects) had names equivalent to subnamespaces
· (colorSpaces, fonts, xObjects). See: documents.contents.ColorSpaceResources/
· FontResources/XObjectResources: namespace collision is now resolved.
· [fix:0.0.6:1:SC] Symptom: after a file-system file is opened it keeps being locked undefinitely.
· Cause: lack of explicit disposal. See: files.File.close()/.Dispose(): file lock is now appropriately
· released on object disposal.
