+Welcome to the C# port of Google Protocol Buffers, written by Jon Skeet
+(skeet@pobox.com) based on the work of many talented people.
+
+===============================================================================

+Changes:
+- Upgrade solution format to Visual Studio 2012.
+- Add the ability to print a builder (not just a message)
+- TextGenerator introduces a new overload of PrintTo
+- Munge protoc's error format into a VS-C#-compatible output format.
+- Work to make ProtoGen clone that acts as a protoc.exe plugin.
+- Added the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute
+- Optimized enum parsing.
+
+Fixes:
+- Fix for bug in limited input stream's Position, Introduced Position on
+ output stream

+
+Features:
+- Added option service_generator_type to control service generation with
+ NONE, GENERIC, INTERFACE, or IRPCDISPATCH
+- Added interfaces IRpcDispatch and IRpcServerStub to provide for blocking
+ services and implementations.
+- Added ProtoGen.exe command-line argument "--protoc_dir=" to specify the
+ location of protoc.exe.
+- Extracted interfaces for ICodedInputStream and ICodedOutputStream to allow
+ custom implementation of writers with both speed and size optimizations.
+- Addition of the "Google.ProtoBuffers.Serialization" assembly to support
+ reading and writing messages to/from XML, JSON, IDictionary<,> and others.
+- Several performance related fixes and tweeks
+- Issue 3: Add option to mark generated code with attribute
+- Issue 20: Support for decorating classes [Serializable]

+- Changed the code signing key to a privately held key
+- Reformatted all code and line-endings to C# defaults
+- Reworking of performance benchmarks to produce reliable results, option /v2
