5.8.1-RELEASE: Command line, chains, testing and MySQLx

The XP group would like to announce the immediate availability of XP, version 5.8.1. This release includes a bigger change to the exception mechanism, lang.ChainedException's functionality has been moved to the base class lang.Throwable and all exceptions may now optionally have a cause. This is consistent with Java (since 1.4, java.lang.Throwable has getCause() and corresponding constructors), C#'s InnerException and PHP's "previous" exception (available since 5.3.0). Other bigger changes are now that MySQL connectivity is provided by a userland driver implementation in certain cases - see Heads up: XP Framework and MySQL for further details. Also noteable are the possibility to run a single test method from the command line as well as the command line reflection improvements.
