-enabled comparison of parameters of different mutability (but same type)
-- modified == operator (in API headers)
-- updated parameter implementations
-
-Dec 1, 2011
-small broker implementation change to provide compatibility for example #16
-
-Nov 14, 2011
-cci_value support for SystemC data types
-- added full support for SystemC parameter cci_values and string vector parameters
-- updated example and guidelines.txt
-
-Oct 31, 2011
-cci_value support for standard cci_param data types
-- added cci_value_helper template class for cci_value support
-- added dev_example/cci_value_example
-
-Oct 19, 2011
-track initial value originators
-- added broker function get_latest_write_originator to interface
-- implemented in broker and private broker
-
-Sep 23, 2011
-persistent access to latest value originator 
-- API: added cci_base_param::get_latest_write_originator()
-- updated README
-- POC imp: added get_latest_write_originator()
-- added observer-demonstration to dev_examples/gs_example
-  using global get observer API as well as new parameter observer API
-
-Sep 22, 2011
-added is_initial_value feature
-- added is_initial_value support to prototype
-- is_initial_value now const
-- added dev_example/is_initial_value_example
-
-Sep 20, 2011
-- slightly changed callback function in broker if: cci_cnf_broker_if::register_str_callback and cci_cnf_broker_if::register_callback which was not complete yet
-- added some callback abilities to prototype in gs_cci_cnf_broker
-- added dev_example/callback_example
-
-Sep 6, 2011
-several small changes to callbacks:
-- renamed internal callb_adapt_b -> callb_adapt
-- added new callback function type with param name: param_callback_func_ptr
-- for consistency renamed callback_func_ptr -> param_callback_func_ptr
-
-Sep 01, 2011
-- removed totally outdated dev_example priv_broker_example_dl
-- changed gs private broker's constructor: does not need originator which is created automatically from owner now
-
-Jul 26, 2011
-- Changed error reporting
-
-Jul 20, 2011
-- Changed private broker
-  Automatic push and pop is done by cci_broker_manager
-  Important: Semantic of cci_broker_manager did change!
-- removed broker registry
-- Some copy constructors private
-- clean-up of some explicit constructors
-
-Mar 24, 2011
-- BUG - STILL TODO: PRIVATE BROKER STACK POP!
-  Currently the pop from broker stack needs to be done manually,
-  cp. testbenches in dev_examples/priv_broker_example*
-- changed way how to access broker accessors
-- important API change:
-  instead of cci::cnf::get_cnf_broker_instance(originator)->
-  use now cci::cnf::cci_broker_manager::get_current_broker(originator).
-- search_for_broker renamed to get_current_broker
-- smaller API changes:
-  gs_cci_private_broker_accessor now get a reference to the owner (not a pointer)
-  gs_cci_private_broker now gets a name
-  parameter constructor new options (e.g. broker without bool top-level-name)
-- top-level-names in cci_param constructors not with bool but with cci::cnf::CCI_TOP_LEVEL_NAME
-  (to avoid ambiguous constructors)
-
-Feb 23, 2011
-- reverted some originator changes: Originator information now hold within global pointer
-- added originator data type combining sc_object and name information
-- eased originator handling
-- changed syntax for get_cnf_broker_instance:
-  use cci::cnf::get_cnf_broker_instance(cci::cnf::cci_originator(*this));
-  intead of cci::cnf::get_cnf_broker_instance(this);
-- bugfix reported by Swami in gs_cci_base_param::is_invalid_value
-
-Feb 1, 2011
-- detach cci_param_(base_)impl_if from cci_(base_)param
-- added originator function parameters to cci_param_(base_)impl_if and example implementation
-  (still TODO for most functions)
-- modified cci_(base_)param so that they now can create a copy of themselved, with storing originator information, to act as parameter accessors
-- changed broker interface (rules) and implementation to use param accessors
-TODO: Tests + further functions in cci_param_(base_)impl_if and implementation
-
-Dec 15, 2010
-- Added to broker implementation:
-  - broker accessors:
-    originator information is transfered over internal GreenControl
-    infratructure thus it can be logged.
-  - still TODO: parameter accessors
-
-Nov 10, 2010
-- API modification:
-  changed originator information in global get_cnf_broker_instance function:
-  - Changed sc_module to sc_object
-  - Added function getting string
-  - Added end-user rules
-  - not yet implemented 
-
-Oct 21, 2010
-- library cleanup, new rules
-- gs_example_diff_impl updated
-
-Oct 19, 2010
-- big clean-up
-- libraries (param and broker implementations) are now really independent
-- examples clean-up
-- param implementation library prepared to contain symbols for the provided functions
-
-earlier:
-
-- moved pre_write to reject_write callbacks and
-  added pre_write callbacks
-
-- hotfixed callback deletion issue
-- fixed warnings and modified gs param implementation constructors
-- modified internal cci report class
-
-- added broker function get_json_string_keep_unused
-
-- added get_default_value to cci_param interface
-- added cci_param constructors (eliminating optional function parameters)
-- underlying gs_param:
-  - added default value
-  - added is_used status (and get not impacting that status)
-  - added internal init value locked check
-
-- moved license to own file (not changed the license)
-- added hierarchical precendence support by 
-- adding lock to initial values
-
-- added cci_param constructor with implementation pointer
-- changed global static factory function names and namespaces
-- changed broker.add_param to be called by cci_header class
-- added optional broker parameter to param constructors
-- separated header from implementation into different files
-- introduced new path substructure in api path
-- introduced cci::cnf namespace
-- changed cci.h to be main include file and
-- made cci_config.h the config part include file
-- renamed cci_broker_module into cci_broker_manager and added convenience cci_broker_manager_module (deriving from sc_module)
-- renamed cnf_api to cnf_broker

-- Pimpl idiom / Opaque Pointer concept for params
-- removed boost version dependency of implementation
-- replaced boost int64 with SystemC int64
-- replaced boost shared_ptr and function 
-- private Broker API and example
-
-
-**** CCI-1.3-cci_api-240210.tar.gz ****
-
-- changed param hierarchy to be defined by the document and directly implemented thus being used directly by user (without pure virtual interface) (interfaces are just for compile checks)
-- added is_invalid implementation, also for uninitialized params
-- added locked status and checks to gs implementation
-- added is_used dummy to gs implementation
-- changed is_used semantic: also true if there WAS an object mapped to the NVP
-
-**** CCI-1.21-cci_api-130110.tar.gz ****
-
-- added syncronize API to base param
-- added lock API to base params
-- added mutable template types to POs
-- added is_used for detecting unconsumed parameters
-- added is/set_invalid_value, is_initial_value, is_default_value
-
-
-**** CCI-1.2-101109.tar.gz ****
-
-- error/warning/info throwing using sc_report mechanism
-- added functions for status fields/value origin (is_default_value, is_initial_value, is_invalid_value, set_invalid_value to base param
-- added functions set/get_documentation for meta data to base param
-- cci_value parameter value representation
-- added real number to basic data types
-- cci_base_param are objects that can be instantiated.
-- renamed cci_param_base to cci_base_param, because it will change from a base class to a param object
-- added return type to callbacks (e.g. to support value rejection on pre write callback)
-- Changed callback type from function pointer to boost::function.
-
-
-**** CCI-1.1-280509.tar.gz ****
-
-- Added callback type (reason) to callback function signature
-- Error codes as return value instead of bool
-- Made basic parameter types JSON independent (just renaming)
-  to avoid confusion (JSON not necessary here, only needed for 
-  (de)serialize).
-- Added notes.txt file.
-- Portability: changed long long to sc_dt::uint64
