+*0.5.0* (24th February, 2005)
+
+	* lib/action_service/dispatcher*: replace "router" fragments with
+	  one file for Action Controllers, moves dispatching work out of
+	  the container
+	* lib/*,test/*,examples/*: rename project to
+	  ActionWebService. prefix all generic "service" type names with web_.
+	  update all using code as well as the RDoc.
+	* lib/action_service/router/wsdl.rb: ensure that #wsdl is
+	  defined in the final container class, or the new ActionPack
+	  filtering will exclude it
+	* lib/action_service/struct.rb,test/struct_test.rb: create a
+	  default #initialize on inherit that accepts a Hash containing
+	  the default member values
+	* lib/action_service/api/action_controller.rb: add support and
+	  tests for #client_api in controller
+	* test/router_wsdl_test.rb: add tests to ensure declared
+	  service names don't contain ':', as ':' causes interoperability
+	  issues
+	* lib/*, test/*: rename "interface" concept to "api", and change all
+	  related uses to reflect this change. update all uses of Inflector
+	  to call the method on String instead.
+	* test/api_test.rb: add test to ensure API definition not
+	  instantiatable
+	* lib/action_service/invocation.rb: change @invocation_params to
+	  @method_params
+	* lib/*: update RDoc
+	* lib/action_service/struct.rb: update to support base types
+	* lib/action_service/support/signature.rb: support the notion of
+	  "base types" in signatures, with well-known unambiguous names such as :int,
+	  :bool, etc, which map to the correct Ruby class. accept the same names
+	  used by ActiveRecord as well as longer versions of each, as aliases.
+	* examples/*: update for seperate API definition updates
+	* lib/action_service/*, test/*: extensive refactoring: define API methods in
+	  a seperate class, and specify it wherever used with 'service_api'.
+	  this makes writing a client API for accessing defined API methods
+	  with ActionWebService really easy.
+	* lib/action_service/container.rb: fix a bug in default call
+	  handling for direct dispatching, and add ActionController filter
+	  support for direct dispatching.
+	* test/router_action_controller_test.rb: add tests to ensure
+	  ActionController filters are actually called.
+	* test/protocol_soap_test.rb: add more tests for direct dispatching.
+
+0.3.0
+
+	* First public release

+= Action Web Service -- Serving APIs on rails
+
+Action Web Service provides a way to publish interoperable web service APIs with
+Rails without spending a lot of time delving into protocol details.
+
+
+== Features
+
+* SOAP RPC protocol support
+* Dynamic WSDL generation for APIs
+* XML-RPC protocol support
+* Clients that use the same API definitions as the server for
+  easy interoperability with other Action Web Service based applications
+* Type signature hints to improve interoperability with static languages
+* Active Record model class support in signatures
+
+
+== Defining your APIs
+
+You specify the methods you want to make available as API methods in an
+ActionWebService::API::Base derivative, and then specify this API
+definition class wherever you want to use that API. 
+
+The implementation of the methods is done seperately to the API
+specification.
+
+
+==== Method name inflection
+
+Action Web Service will camelcase the method names according to Rails Inflector
+rules for the API visible to public callers. What this means, for example
+is that the method names in generated WSDL will be camelcased, and callers will
+have to supply the camelcased name in their requests for the request to
+succeed.
+
+If you do not desire this behaviour, you can turn it off with the
+ActionWebService::API::Base +inflect_names+ option.
+
+
+==== Inflection examples
+
+  :add       => Add
+  :find_all  => FindAll
+
+  
+==== Disabling inflection
+
+  class PersonAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base
+    inflect_names false
+  end
+
+
+==== API definition example
+
+  class PersonAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base
+    api_method :add, :expects => [:string, :string, :bool], :returns => [:int]
+    api_method :remove, :expects => [:int], :returns => [:bool]
+  end
+
+==== API usage example
+
+  class PersonController < ActionController::Base
+    web_service_api PersonAPI
+
+    def add
+    end
+
+    def remove
+    end
+  end
+
+
+== Publishing your APIs
+
+Action Web Service uses Action Pack to process protocol requests.  There are two
+modes of dispatching protocol requests, _Direct_, and _Delegated_.
+
+
+=== Direct dispatching
+
+This is the default mode. In this mode, controller actions implement the API
+methods, and parameters for incoming method calls will be placed in
+<tt>@params</tt> (keyed by name), and <tt>@method_params</tt> (ordered list).
+
+The return value of the action is sent back as the return value to the
+caller.
+
+In this mode, a special <tt>api</tt> action is generated in the target
+controller to unwrap the protocol request, forward it on to the relevant action
+and send back the wrapped return value. <em>This action must not be
+overridden.</em>
+
+==== Direct dispatching example
+
+  class PersonController < ApplicationController
+    web_service_api PersonAPI
+
+    def add
+    end
+
+    def remove
+    end
+  end
+
+  class PersonAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base
+    ...
+  end
+
+
+For this example, protocol requests for +Add+ and +Remove+ methods sent to
+<tt>/person/api</tt> will be routed to the actions +add+ and +remove+.
+
+
+=== Delegated dispatching
+
+This mode can be turned on by setting the +web_service_dispatching_mode+ option
+in a controller.
+
+In this mode, the controller contains one or more web service objects (objects
+that implement an ActionWebService::API::Base definition). These web service
+objects are each mapped onto one controller action only.
+
+==== Delegated dispatching example
+
+  class ApiController < ApplicationController
+    web_service_dispatching_mode :delegated
+
+    web_service :person, PersonService.new
+  end
+
+  class PersonService < ActionWebService::Base
+    web_service_api PersonAPI
+
+    def add
+    end
+
+    def remove
+    end
+  end
+
+  class PersonAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base
+    ...
+  end
+
+
+For this example, all protocol requests for +PersonService+ are
+sent to the <tt>/api/person</tt> action.
+
+The <tt>/api/person</tt> action is generated when the +web_service+
+method is called. <em>This action must not be overridden.</em>
+
+Other controller actions (actions that aren't the target of a +web_service+ call)
+are ignored for ActionWebService purposes, and can do normal action tasks.
+
+
+== Using the client support
+
+Action Web Service includes client classes that can use the same API
+definition as the server. The advantage of this approach is that your client
+will have the same support for Active Record and structured types as the
+server, and can just use them directly, and rely on the marshaling to Do The
+Right Thing.
+
+*Note*: The client support is intended for communication between Ruby on Rails
+applications that both use Action Web Service. It may work with other servers, but
+that is not its intended use, and interoperability can't be guaranteed, especially
+not for .NET web services. 
+
+Web services protocol specifications are complex, and Action Web Service client
+support can only be guaranteed to work with a subset.
+
+
+==== Factory created client example
+
+  class BlogManagerController < ApplicationController
+    web_client_api :blogger, :xmlrpc, 'http://url/to/blog/api/RPC2', :handler_name => 'blogger'
+  end
+
+  class SearchingController < ApplicationController
+    web_client_api :google, :soap, 'http://url/to/blog/api/beta', :service_name => 'GoogleSearch'
+  end
+
+See ActionWebService::API::ActionController::ClassMethods for more details.
+
+==== Manually created client example
+
+  class PersonAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base
+    api_method :find_all, :returns => [[Person]]
+  end
+
+  soap_client = ActionWebService::Client::Soap.new(PersonAPI, "http://...")
+  persons = soap_client.find_all
+
+  class BloggerAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base
+    inflect_names false
+    api_method :getRecentPosts, :returns => [[Blog::Post]]
+  end
+
+  blog = ActionWebService::Client::XmlRpc.new(BloggerAPI, "http://.../xmlrpc", :handler_name => "blogger")
+  posts = blog.getRecentPosts
+
+
+See ActionWebService::Client::Soap and ActionWebService::Client::XmlRpc for more details.
+
+== Dependencies
+
+Action Web Service requires that the Action Pack and Active Record are either
+available to be required immediately or are accessible as GEMs.
+
+It also requires a version of Ruby that includes SOAP support in the standard
+library. At least version 1.8.2 final (2004-12-25) of Ruby is recommended, this
+is the version tested against.
+
+
+== Download
+
+The latest Action Web Service version can be downloaded from
+http://rubyforge.org/projects/actionservice
+
+
+== Installation
+
+You can install Action Web Service with the following command.
+
+  % [sudo] ruby setup.rb
+
+
+== License
+
+Action Web Service is released under the MIT license.
