Important Changes. * New backend structure implemented (Suggested by Robert Sedgewick). * New xml-backend see README for details. * Original storing mechanism moved to default-backend. * Magic Number changed for default backend. * New method for resolving circularities in objects. * Buffering mechanism removed. Resolves issues with read-sequence on blocking streams. * Unicode Strings should work although symbols with unicode characters will still break.
