+- update to version 1.7.0:
+  - A major feature of this release is multi-(meta-)model support with
+    configurable resolving techniques. Thanks Pierre Bayerl (goto40@GitHub)!
+
+    The docs sections are [here](http://www.igordejanovic.net/textX/scoping/)
+    and [here](http://www.igordejanovic.net/textX/multimetamodel/).
+
+    Details follow:
+    - added new function textx.get_model.children to search arbritrary children
+      using a lambda predicate.
+    - remapped textx.model.get_children_of_type to the new children function
+    (changed the logic, such that the root node is also checked to be model
+    object).
+    - added new metamodel function to register scope providers. Scope providers
+    are callables, which return the referenced object.
+    - added optional attribute "_tx_model_repository", see metamodel.py
+      documentation
+    - added attribute "scope_provider" like "obj_processors" to organize scope
+      providers
+    - added an optional argument to model_from_str and model_from_file:
+      "pre_ref_resolution_callback": this is required internally to prepare the
+      loading of other model files.
+    - changed reference resolution in model.py
+      - moved default resolution to textx.scoping.py
+      - select the scope provider based on rule and rule-attribute (see
+        scoping.py documentation)
+      - added a Postponed type to postpone the resolution
+      - introduced a multi-pass resolution (implemented at the end of
+        parse_tree_to_objgraph; introduced new helper argument, e.g., a new
+        optional argument "is_this_the_main_model" and
+        "pre_ref_resolution_callback" (see metamodel.py above) to support
+        reference resolution in the presence of different model files.
+    - added a new module textx.scoping, to provide some scope providers (e.g. a
+      fully qualified name provider) - see scoping.py:
+      - full qualified names for reference names (e.g. package.package.class)
+      - global scope (model distributed over different files - loaded globally)
+      - import scope (model distributed over different files - loaded when
+        imported)
+      - relative scopes (e.g. instance.method where method is defined for the
+        class of the instance in a model of classes, methods and instances)
+      - selecting the metamodel based on a file pattern when loading models
+    - added tests (mostly scope related - some of them also test other stuff,
+      like buildins)
+    - exceptions where adapted to include a file name (makes errors more
+      visible)
+    - The metamodel now allows to specify a global model repository. With this
+      you can now share models across metamodels (before you could only do this
+      within one metamodel or language).
+    - The metamodel clones the parser when parsing a model file. The meta model
+      holds one parser, which is clone for every model to be parsed.
+    - TextXModelParser now has a clone method.
+      (TBC: is the clone ok: see responsibility of the method)
+    - model.py: the resolution loop logic now mostly moved to a separate object
+      ReferenceResolver, which holds the parser.
+      - The reference resolver are build from all model files affected (loaded).
+        This may involve multiple meta models.
+      - Then all references are resolved in one loop.
+      - Finally the helper objects (ReferenceResolver) are purged.
+    - The MetaModelProvider has a clear-method now (useful for tests).
+  - Backward incompatible change: match filters and object processors unified.
+    Now there are only object processors but they are called for any type of
+    rule and the returned value if exists is used instead of the original
+    object. See [the
+    docs](http://www.igordejanovic.net/textX/metamodel/#object-processors). In
+    order to migrate your match filters just register them as object processors.
+  - Fixing FLOAT regex. Thanks Boris Marin (borismarin@GitHub)!
+  - Fixing position info on obj cross ref. Thanks Daniel Elero (danixeee@GitHub)!
