	ChangeConfigurationSettings if it has not been done yet. Patch by
	George Kodinov gkodinov@openlinksw.co.uk). Fixes bug #51643.

2003-12-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: handle allowdefinition and allowlocation,
	added locks, don't reopen the file for every new section to be read,
	but keep them as strings and build the section handlers with that.
	Also allow changing the configuration system (used from System.Web).

2003-11-17 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: make the *Mark objects static
	because they need to be comparable across instances.
	(ReadSectionGroup): You can add an element to a group declared
	in the parent config files (MS.net's QuickStarts do this).

2003-11-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: don't handle null or non-existent file in
	the catch blocks.

2003-10-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: really make the cache work.

2003-10-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: pass the file name we're reading as the
	context.

2003-10-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: patch by Eric Lindvall (eric@5stops.com)
	that improves performance by not reading the file more than once.

2003-07-15  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: Removed unused exception variable, fixes
	compiler warning

2003-06-16  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: Avoid chicken-egg problem when reading
	machine.config. Cannot use an uri to read mechine.config because web
	request module handelrs are defined in machine.config.

2003-03-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* AppSettingsReader.cs: fixed bug #38755.

2002-12-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigXmlDocument.cs: don't jump over the first element.
	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: pass doc.DocumentElement instead of doc.

	This used to work until i tried to access one attribute of the first
	element and realized that the element was not the expected!
	This change does not affect the configuration handlers that only use
	ChildNodes property on the XmlNode they get as argument.

2002-12-15  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: removed type loading hack no longer needed.

2002-12-14  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: Allow configuration sections to be removed.

2002-11-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: use AppDomainSetup to get the configuration
	file name for the AppDomain.

2002-10-31  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigHelper.cs: NameValueCollection.Add is now fixed.

2002-10-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs (DefaultConfig.GetAppConfigPath):
	Append ".config" to the filename, not ".exe.config" since the
	filename already has a ".exe" suffix.

2002-10-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs (DefaultConfig.GetAppConfigPath): Use
	Assembly.Location, not Assembly.FullName to get its filename.

2002-10-10  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigHelper.cs: workaround for a bug in NameValueCollection.
	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: load sections when the parent holds a
	handler for it. Now overriding appSettings values in the app config
	file works (first <remove..> and then <add...).

2002-10-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigHelper.cs:
	* NameValueFileSectionHandler.cs: check that Attributes is not null.

2002-10-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

	* NameValueFileSectionHandler.cs: For now if a section is not
	present, return null.  Do not know what the real fix is.  Gonzalo
	will have to look at this, but the debugger was crashing as
	appSettings in the machine.config does not exist, but GetConfig
	returns a non-null value when looking it up when you do a
	GetDocumentForSection ("appSettings").

2002-10-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: use get_machine_config_path internal call.

2002-10-08  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigXmlDocument.cs: move the reader for the section to the first
	element.
	
	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: fixed hierarchical search for a handler. 

2002-10-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: reimplemented. It is now able to deliver
	sections to their handlers for processing.

2002-10-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* ConfigHelper.cs: New file. Contains some
	helper functions for getting key-value collections from the config file.
	
	* ConfigXmlDocument.cs: wrapper around xml elements to provide line
	number and file name info.
	* IConfigXmlNode.cs: used in ConfigXmlDocument and
	ConfigurationException.

	* ConfigurationException.cs: get file name and line
	number from the wrapped XmlNode. Display this info in Message.

	* NameValueFileSectionHandler.cs: new handler.
	* DictionarySectionHandler.cs:
	* NameValueSectionHandler.cs: modified to use the helper methods in
	ConfigHelper.

2002-10-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* AppSettingsReader.cs: New file.
	* IConfigurationSystem.cs: New file.

	* IgnoreSectionHandler.cs:
	* NameValueSectionHandler.cs:
	* SingleTagSectionHandler.cs: little fixes.

2002-09-03  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs (ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig): Use the
	correct configuration filename, fixed the TODO.
	(GetSectionHanderType): Renamed to GetSectionHandlerType.

	* NameValueSectionHandler.cs (NameValueSectionHandler.Create): Allow
	whitespaces in the configuration file.

2002-01-31  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationException.cs: Rewrote most of the file and added
	serialization bits.

2002-01-06  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs, IgnoreSectionHandler.cs : MonoTODO decoration

	* SingleTagSectionHandler.cs, DictionarySectionHandler.cs, 
	NameValueSectionHandler.cs : Ditto.

2001-08-28  Christopher Podurgiel <cpodurgiel@msn.com>
	* IConfigurationSectionHandler.cs: Added reference to System.Xml.
	
	* SingleTagSectionHandler.cs: Added Implementation of Create() method.
	
	* NameValueSectionHandler.cs: Added Implementation of Create() method.
	
	* ConfigurationException.cs: Now returns proper message rather than "System Exception".

2001-08-26  Christopher Podurgiel <cpodurgiel@msn.com>

	* ConfigurationSettings.cs: No longer references the NameValueSectionHandler 	  directly.  Instead it uses System.Reflection to call the Create() method 		  for the appropriate SectionHandler as defined in the .config file.
