+GDML Processor for Geant4 RC 1.0 RELEASE NOTES
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Platforms
+---------
+
+Supported platforms(not final):
+CERN Linux RH 6.1.1 and RH 7.2.1, compiler GCC 2.95.2,            G4SYSTEM: Linux-g++
+CERN Linux RH 6.1.1,              compiler EGCS 1.1.2 (2.91.66),  G4SYSTEM: Linux-egcs
+CERN SUN Solaris,                 compiler SUN WS 6.1 CC 5.2,     G4SYSTEM: SUN-CC
+
+Additional Requirements
+-----------------------
+
+Apache Xerces-C 1.6.0 or better (built with version 1.7.0.)
+
+Supported GDML Features
+-----------------------
+
+GDML Schema 1.0 compatible features include:
+
+a) Expressions support
+   - constants,physics constants, translations and rotations, numerical expressions
+   - including CLHEP units
+
+b) Full materials support
+   - isotopes, elements, compounds anf mixtures
+
+c) CSG solids
+   - standard CSG solids
+   - boolean solids, e.g. union, subtraction, intersection
+
+d) geometrical structure
+   - volume, assembly, placements (single, so far)
+
+e) geometry setups
+   - more then one setup is possible
+   - selection based on name-version pair
+
+Known issues and problems
+-------------------------
+
+1.
+> Current implementation works only when build with shared libraries enabled.
+> It's understood issue of bootstraping of the components in statically linked
+> executables. It's being worked on it.
+>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED!
+
+2.
+> Only GDML DTD is here due to lack of time, GDML Schema is work in progress,
+> hopefully released soon.
+>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED!
+
+3.
+> The Saxana components' interfaces are a bit messy, this issue is being addressed already in the new
+> development tree together with support for XML Schema.
+Still an issue. The Saxana engine will be rewritten with generative version of XML Engine.
+Work on it is in progress.
+
+4. When linking for Linux-g++ G4SYSTEM on RH 7.2.1 against Xerces-C libraries build on RH 6.1.1 with
+   compiler GCC 2.95.2 the linker warning can be so far ignored as the resulting binary can run.
+   We will look at this issue. Looks like G4SYSTEM needs to be again extended for Linux systems.
