+  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

+- Several performance related fixes and tweeks
+- Issue 3:	Add option to mark generated code with attribute
+- Issue 20:	Support for decorating classes [Serializable]
