I'd like to ask for a vote to release RC3, posted at [1], as the final release 
of V2.0.0 of the C++ Santuario library. It was built from svn revision 1833740 
of the trunk.

There are no features removed from this release, though some APIs have been 
removed to hide unrelated details and to eliminate a lot of enumerations in the 
library and replace them with the full XML-Signature/Encryption standard URIs 
for better extensibility. Applications using the older version will require 
generally minor changes to use this version. The old version will not be 
maintained by me beyond the end of 2018 at the latest, and likely sooner, it 
depends on my project's timelines.

This release formally deprecates the XKMS support and the NSS and WinCAPI 
security library support pending the appearance of a maintainer for those 
sections of code (and the XKMS support can now be compiled out as an option). I 
would note that both the NSS and WinCAPI support are lacking in capability, in 
some cases not offering any "considered-secure" algorithms for particular 
functions, so this is more of a mercy killing than an act of hostile intent.

This is my +1.
