Release notes 

ABI version set to 3:0:0. Adds support for asynchronous (e.g., threaded) adapters and better version checks by the host application. New features come with documentation and are illustrated by the new sample adapter (ecap_adapter_async).

Old adapters will need to be slightly adjusted to work with the new API even if they do not need to support asynchronous adaptation.

v1.0.0
2013/09/17

  Set current library ABI version to 3:0:0, due to the following
  API changes documented in doc/async.txt and doc/registration.txt:

  - Support asynchronous (e.g., threaded) adapters to accommodate
    eCAP services that require long blocking operations or even
    implement their own I/O and event loops.

  - Allow the host application to check the libecap version used
    to build the adapter module as well as the libecap version
    that the host application itself is being dynamically linked
    with. This prevents v1 host applications from accidentally
    loading v0 adapters and then mysteriously crashing.

  - Allow adapters and their host application to share pointers to
    transactions by changing Service::makeXaction() result type to
    libecap::shared_ptr (the exact new return type is typedefed as
    Service::MadeXactionPointer). This change helps asynchronous
    adapters to safely catalog pending transactions. The host
    application remains the primary owner of the transaction, so
    adapters wishing to catalog transactions should probably use
    weak pointers (libecap::weak_ptr).

  Other changes:

  - Removed the Callable API and common/call.h. No users of that
  experimental feature are known. Adapters and host applications
  may continue to provide the callable() method if they are using
  it themselves, but it was very unlikely to be used by the other
  side of the transaction in v0 and will be ignored in v1.

  - Polished source code.
