+      <description>
+        <p>Added an additional method <code>InputOutput getIO(String name, Action[] additionalActions)</code>
+         that accepts additional array of javax.swing.Action instances. It allows to define domain-specific additional actions
+         that can be performed on the content of the output.</p>
+         <p>The method
+should be ideally abstract but because it's uncertain how many
+implementations of IOProvider are there, the method is non-abstract and in it's
+default impl, delegates to the <code>InputOutput getIO(String name, boolean newIO)</code> method.
+Implementors of the class are encourages to implement the new method.
