'Review' is a lightweight code annotation tool for Reflector. It can be used during code reviews or API reviews to take notes and pass them to other project members.

A review contains a list of code annotations. An annotation is associated to a code element (type, method, etc...) and contains a list of changes. A change is composed of a comment, a date, a user, a status and resolution. All data is stored in an XML file. Multiple review files can be merged into one file. To avoid loosing any information, changes are written to disk after each 'commit'.
