 101   <li><p>Implementation of dynamic any classes for value types, boxed value
 102          types.
 103   </p></li>
 104
 105   <li><p>Transfer of dynany-specific code from the TAO library to the
 106          TAO_DynamicAny library, in ACE_ROOT/TAO/tao/DynamicAny.
 107   </p></li>
 108
 109   <li><p>Overhaul of existing implementation of dynamic anys in TAO to comply
 110          with changes to the dynamic any spec that appeared in CORBA 2.3.1, and
 111          with additional changes that appeared in CORBA 2.4.2.
 112   </p></li>
 113
 114   <li><p>Expansion of existing dynamic any tests to included the added functionality.
 115   </p></li>
 116
 117   <li><p>Implementation of spec defined insert_*_seq() and get_*_seq(),
 118          which are defined for all basic IDL types, and
 119          implemententation of get_abstract() and insert_abstract().
 120   </p></li>
 121
 122   <li><p>Dynamic Any source code has been refactored to make more use
 123          of C++ templates, made possible by the dropping of ACE+TAO
 124          support for C++ compilers with poor template support.
