5.8.0RC6: Happy new year 2011!

This pre-release of the upcoming 5.8.0-RELEASE consists, compared to RC5 of lots of small parts of Unicode forward compatibility and various bugfixes, but also some enhancements:

• The xml.Tree class will now inherit the XML parser's encoding
  
• The unittest command now shows the time taken to run the testsuite
  
• The util.Properties class now supports array and hash keys, e.g. class[]=util.Date or make[model]="EOS 350D"
  
• Fixes to the xar command when alternate file names are used (e.g. manifest.ini=META-INF/manifest.ini)
  
• The Process' class close() method now raises a special exception instead of a NPE caused by internal implementation details when called on processes retrieved by getByProcessId().
  
• Injection, casting and factory support in the xml.meta API
  
• Strings, Characters and BOM support for io.streams.TextWriter
  
• A fluent interface to peer.http.FormRequestData
