    ! 2016-10-27 - Gerhard Raven, Marco Clemencic (commit b111898)

     - modernization of Property

       This is a major rewrite of the system of `Property` classes. Started as  the
       implementation of GAUDI-1214, it continued as a review of
       `IProperty` and `PropertyMgr`, to end up in a complete rewrite
       (and optimization) of `PropertyWithValue`.

       * Fixes GAUDI-1214
        - added missing `declareProperty` signature
        - added `PropertyHolder` (an updated `PropertyMgr`)
        - adapted all properties in Gaudi
       * improved use of `PropertyHolder`
        - use inheritance instead of composition
        - removed ~200 (duplicated) lines of code in GaudiKernel
       * optimization of Property (fixes GAUDI-1229)
        - use templates and automatic code generation to handle efficiently
          both value and reference properties
          - avoid creation of values on the heap (see GAUDI-1229)
          - removed the *owned* boolean flag
          - improved usability of properties (e.g. begin/end wrappers for
            C++11 loops, increment/decrement operators...)
          - deprecated use of C arrays as properties
        - merged features of `PropertyWithVerifier`, `SimpleProperty` and
          `SimplePropertyRef` into `PropertyWithValue`
        - deduplication of name and doc strings via

       [`boost::string_ref`](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/libs/utility/doc/html/string_ref.html)

          and a static storage  (see GAUDI-1229)
       * Fixes GAUDI-1205
       * add deprecation warnings in service accessors of `Algorithm` (@graven)
       * renamed `Property` base class to `Gaudi::Details::PropertyBase` and
       `PropertyWithValue` to `Gaudi::Property`
        - added backward compatibility type aliases (but not compatible with
          forward declarations of `class Property`, which should be replaced
          by `#include "GaudiKernel/PropertyFwd.h"`)
       * added macro `GAUDI_PROPERTY_v2` to allow easy implementation of
        backward compatible changes in derived projects (e.g. when user code
        relied on `DoubleProperty` having a verifier)
       * Fixes GAUDI-1268
        The changes are as backward compatible as much as possible (except if you
       explicitly inherit from `SimpleProperty`, or you forward declared
       `class Property`, which now are typedefs), but must be validated in the
       experiment frameworks.

     - improvements to documentation and release tools

       See merge request !43

    ! 2015-09-25 - commit 35dd00c

     - Merge branch 'dev-smartif-use' into 'master'

       Provide (and use) C++11 smart pointer 'look and feel' for SmartIF

       The aim of this branch is to confine, for everything that inherits from
       IInterface, the calls to addRef(), release() and queryInterface() to the
       SmartIF implementation. Exceptions are a few places where interfaces
       (currently) return bare pointers (instead of SmartIF...) and where one thus
       has to addRef() explicitly to avoid returning a dangling pointer. This can be
       avoided by changing the relevant interface to return a SmartIF instead of a
       bare pointer.

       In addition, make SmartIF 'look and feel' like a smart pointer.

       - use explict bool conversion instead of .isValid()
       - add SmartIF::as<IFace>(), to return a SmartIF<IFace> to an alternate
          interface -- which (together with move) encourages the use of auto
       - add ISvcLocator::as<IFace>(), to return a SmartIF<IFace> to the current
       ISvcLocator.
       - add ServiceManager::service<IFace>() which return SmartIF<IFace> which
       encourages
          the use of auto

       And add a few other C++11 modernizations (eg. prefer STL over raw loop)

       Fixes GAUDI-1094
