1) added java to libabac using swig
2) added java examples (setup/prover) into regression test suites
(note. still have that libstrongswan/src/threading/threads.c/thread_deinit()
problem when using using libabac with java)

4        * Added java libabac regression tests in example_scripts/java
5        * Added java interface to libabac using JNI generated via SWIG
6          Currently, we are seeing a threading collision with libstrongswan's
7          (strongswan-4.6.4) threads_deinit() where the main_thread becomes
8          NULL (line #476). This new java portion only works if a temporary
9          check is made in strongswan's code base.
10        * Added default partial proof generation upon fact query failure
11        * Added new python attribute and id example tests for the new
12          api calls
13        * Added a new Attribute api call, ABAC::Attribute::Attribute_chunk,
14          creating Attribute from a certificate chunk (Ezra)
15        * Added a new ID api call, ABAC::ID::ID_chunk, creating ID from a
16          certificate chunk(Ezra)

22        * Remove the self-signing verification check in abac_verifier to allow
23          none self-signing principal credential
24        * Replaced cn extraction code used in libabac with a more generalized
25          method that retrieves the last "CN=" term from the subject line
26          of a principal credential before chopping it out
27        * Added a new API call, next_proof (abac_context_query_again) that can
28          force YAP to backtrack and produce a new solution proof if exists
29        * New performance testing setup under examples directory. Added
30          plotting and graphing scripts
31        * Updated examples directory to use Makefile, added performance
32          testing setup, plotting scripts, and graphing scripts
33        * Added support for accepting encrypted private key with passphrase
34          for principal credential creation and for attribute rule creation
35        * API is expanded to allow specifying private key file and passphrase
36          file
37        * creddy attribute and generate options are expanded to accept
38          a specific private key and allowing passphrase option
39        * a new keycheck option is added to creddy to do access check on
40          a key file (encrypted and none encrypted)
41        * added encryption/passphrase examples
42        * migrate the sample scripts that used to be under swig directory to
43          examples directory and setup as part of regression test suite
44        * add examples for timing/performance runs
45        * change the proof buffer allocation to YAP_AllocSpaceFromYap and sizing
46          the buffer repeatedly and progressively if the initial size is too small
47        * tested with Yap 6.2.3 but not required

53        * The API visible to programmers is much richer and should make
54          development simpler.  As part of this, the libcreddy/libabac
55          distinction has disappeared.  All libcreddy functions are now
56          available through libabac.
57        * updated to use strongswan 4.6.4.  Strongswan 4.4.0 had become very
58          outdated.
59        * Added more examples and documentation.
60        * add a new '--subject-link' option to creddy --attribute to hold the
61          linking role
62        * add --dbdump option to abac_prover_yap to retrieve all prolog clauses
63          stored in the db
64       
65       WARNING
66       - There are occasional spurious error messages originated
67         from Strongswan during access of the attribute credentials.  Those
68         messages are due to libstrongswan mishandling certain values of
69         authorizedKeyIdentifier in a non-destructive way.  While we are
70         working with the strongswan developers to remove these messages, they
71         should not affect ABAC in any way.
72       
73         Here are sample messages:
74       
75         L6 - keyIdentifier:  length of ASN.1 object invalid or too large
76         L6 - authorityCertSerialNumber:  length of ASN.1 object invalid or too large
77       
78         Do report to us if your ABAC is not behaving as
79         expected and messages like above seem to be a factor..
