The most notable changes are included below.
A detailed list of changes is available in ChangeLog.txt.

TERM STRUCTURES

• Added FittedBondDiscountCurve with example project.

• Added rate helper to bootstrap on cross-currency swaps .
  The curve to be bootstrapped can be the one for either of the two currencies.
