  \sa \ref page_project_status

  Major changes in the interface of the library are marked by \b !!.

  - \b 27/12/2002 (thof)
    - continued with Fortran interface documentation (\ref page_fortran)

  - \b 23/12/2002 (thof)
    - coded class aff::Subarray
    - coded class aff::Slice
    - introduced tests/helpertest.cc to test aff::Iterator,
      aff::Subarray and aff::Slice and tested helper classes
    - reorganized aff::Iterator code. Inheritance from Stepper does not work.
    - aff::Array::copyin() and aff::Array::copyout() work
    - introduced fortranshape.h and fortranshape.cc and herein
      aff::FortranArray and aff::util::FortranShape
    - Test of Fortran 77 interface works

  - \b 22/12/2002 (thof)
    - started test for interface to Fortran 77 code

  - \b 20/12/2002 (thof)
    - introduced aff/lib/seriesstepper.h and aff/lib/seriesstepper.cc
      which define aff::util::SeriesStepper
    - Access declarations are nor useable with functions
      that return a reference to *this. They must be
      reimplemented.
    - introduced class aff::LinearShape
    - provide appropriate Tstepper typedef in shape classes (requires forward
      declarations of stepper classes, because we do not like to include the
      full stepper header if we don't use it).
    - introduced aff::Iterator class template
    - reworked lib/README
    - moved SHeap to namespace util
    - reviewed README entirely
    - Remove unresolvable doxygen links in documentation parts of the code.
      Notice: There remain doxygen warning. Doxygen cannot deal with access
      declarations and has problems with member typedefs.

  - \b 19/12/2002 (thof)
    - \b !! aff::Array provides access to base classes through access
      functions and not through conversion operators.
    - Factored out header files for dump functions for different classes.
      This is necessary to use the SimpleRigidArray dump function within the
      Array class definition.
    - introduced function aff::util::StridedStepper::valid()
    - aff::Array is now tested and works in its basic functionality
      (no subarrays, no slices, no deep copy, etc.)

  - \b 18/12/2002 (thof)
    - defined dump function for Strided
    - started with tests/shapetest.cc
    - reworked stridedstepper to fit into new concept
    - essential correction in aff::Strided::collapse()
    - aff::Strided, aff::Shaper, and aff::util::StridedStepper
      passed basic tests
    - additionally aff::SharedHeap and aff::SimpleRigidArray passed their
      basic tests
    - activated scalar assignment with aff::Array::operator=()

  - \b 17/12/2002 (thof)
    - introduced class Series
    - \b !! Array now inherits privately from Strided
    - use access declarations to declare base class functions that should be
      visible in the public interface of aff::Array and aff::SharedHeap
    - introduced tests/seriestest.cc
    - introduced dump function for class Series
