Preparing 1.5 C++ release

[Scott Cantor <ca...@osu.edu>]

I'm about ready to cut a new release of the xml-security-c library, which
will be 1.5.0 and includes some API additions, thus the version bump.

This version will be compatible with both Xerces 3.x and 2.x (which are not
API compatible with each other) and makes it possible to write client code
that is also compatible with either with some effort.

I have also taken a stab at partially supporting Inclusive C14N 1.1 in this
release, at least by adding the right constants and fixing the handling of
xml:id. xml:base is not handled correctly because apparently it requires
path weaving and URL normalization and I'm not doing all that work.

Since it's not actually compliant, I didn't change the default c14n method
on signatures to 1.1 but it can be set manually.

The full change log is here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xml/security/trunk/c/CHANGELOG.txt?view=co

If anybody is interested in testing this, I'm happy to provide a RC tarball.

Here you go:

http://santuario.apache.org/dist/c-library/prerelease/

It's signed with my usual key.

Likely trouble spots worth build-testing:

- non-OpenSSL crypto support
- including Xalan/XPath support

I seem to have lost my write permission, so I'll have to contact Sean about that, but I'll get it uploaded as soon as that's done.

As a fresh packager for xml-security-c for Fedora I would like an RC
tarball for packaging tests. Thank You!
