 =============================
+1.0.0-rc6 released 2002/12/20
+=============================
+
+[New features/Improvements]
+* throw a RuntimeException in MirConfig.getProp(..) if the property is not 
+  found. This should ease upgrading between versions when a new Config property
+  is added.
+
+[Bugfixes]
+* Add a new method to escape characters that are special characters in SQL. It
+  does a better job than the old hack in StringUtil.quote(..) which replaced 
+  single quotes with the HTML representation of a single quote (' 
+  I believe). The hack papered over a bug in the postgres JDBC driver which
+  makes it not recognize escaping w/ a backslash (it uses double single quotes
+  instead).
+  
+[Build process]
+
+[Maintenance]
+* remove some unused methods in the StringUtil class.
+
+[Notes]
