 - performance: EasyML and XMLReader cache reflected classes and fields.

 !Release 1.2.4
 - NON-BACKWARD COMPATIBLE refactor: n.s.e.m.CompositeStrategy: removed the
-    "defTarget" parameter as it was only used when skipDefaults was true
-    and it was buggy in some cases such as a bean setting a property in a
-    default sub-bean (composition, not inheritance) within it's default
-    constructor.
-
-
-!Release 1.2.3
-- feature: EasyML: added unregisterSimple() and unregisterComposite().
-
-
-!Release 1.2.2
-- refactor: CompositeWriter.endAttributes() now deprecated for simpler
-    n.s.e.m.CompositeStrategy.marshal() implementation code. Use
-    endElement() for endAttributes(true) and simply remove the
-    endAttributes(false) invocations.
-- refactor: standard unmarshalling implementations now wrap exceptions
-    into InvalidFormatException.
-
-
-!Release 1.2.1 
-- feature: XMLWriter and XMLReader: DTD and NON-DTD primitives are now
-    configured to not create confusion between the default configuration
-    and the primitives API.
-- feature: XMLWriter, XMLReader, and n.s.e.m.j.l.ArrayStrategy: array
-    processing is now done with less reflection and no auto-boxing.
-- refactor: util package is now simpler and public.
-- bugfix: XMLWriter.flush() now sets underlying driver into initial state
-    in case of further calls to write().
-- bugfix: XMLReader now rechecks for easyml start tag after the easyml
-    end tag event.
-
-
-!Release 1.2.0
-- refactor: merged the two jars into a single jar, for simplicity, since
-    the resulting easyml-1.2.0.jar is only ~370kB in size. Java plackage
-    and class names remain the same.
-- feature: XMLWriter and XMLReader: added API for the Java primitive types
-    to avoid autoboxing and casting.
-- feature: n.s.e.m.j.l.ArrayStrategy: uses the new primitives API for
-    arrays of primitives (faster by ~7% for large primitive arrays, for
-    example: the internal representation of GSCollections).
-
-
-!Release 1.1.1
-- feature: XMLWriter.write(obj): write merges start-end tags if no value,
-    just like n.s.e.m.j.l.ObjectStrategy does.
-- bugfix: XMLWriterTextDriver: fixed incorrect indentation of endTags.
-    Regression since previous version (1.1.0).
-- bugfix: XMLReaderDOMDriver: fixed DOM impl of CompositeAttributeReader:
-    should return null instead of "" for absent attributes. 
-  Note: indentation bug and start-end-merge enhancement relate to pretty
-        printing and do not affect parsing.
-
-
-!Release 1.1.0
-- feature: EasyML now provides API for working with XML already in W3C DOM
-    documents form.
-- bugfix: XMLReader validation of simple and composite strategy names
-    fixed at put().
-- Javadoc: improved overall javadoc in package net.sourceforge.easyml.
-
-
-!Release 1.0.4
-- feature: EasyML.deserialize can read multiple objects from same stream
-    if deserialize is called with the same input argument.
-- feature: defined EasyML.setCustomStringTag and EasyML.setCustomArrayTag
-    for customizing outputed XML, for example: "array" containing "string"
-    can be customized to "names" containing "name".
-- bugfix: n.s.e.m.j.a.ColorStrategy: prevent Color static block from
-    executing awt code on some JVMs.
-
-
-!Release 1.0.3
-- feature: added strategies for Stack and TreeMap as part of
-    n.s.e.ExtendedEasyML.Profile.GENERIC.
-- refactor: n.s.e.StrategyRegistry now an innerclass of n.s.e.XMLWriter.
-- refactor: n.s.e.ExtendedEasyML.Profile: LANGUAGE_SPECIFIC renamed to
-    SPECIFIC.
-- refactor: n.s.e.ExtendedEasyML.Profile: refactored internal
-    representation.
-- refactor: n.s.e.m.j.u.CollectionStrategy now sets ATTRIBUTE_SIZE so that
-    subclasses don't have to.
-
-
-!Release 1.0.2
-- feature: added java.util.Collections.singletonXXX() strategies to
-    simplify the EasyML format for these types.
-- bugfix: n.s.e.m.j.i.SerializableStrategy: fixed Java IO Serialization
-    PutFields/GetFields EasyML impl such that it is not mandatory to
-    define both methods when custom serialization of a class is used.
