    I've completelly screwed up. The release 0.0.8 was totally broken (I simply packaged files from wrong CVS :( ) and I am doing a new 0.0.9 release to fix all the problems. Please upgrade to the new version if you use any of previous XML Security Library releases.
    I am really sorry for my stupid mistakes and I promise to never do releases on Friday :(
    And special thanks to Ferrell Moultrie for pointing this out.
