- <p>The Boost web site provides free
|
|
|
- peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. The
|
|
|
- emphasis is on libraries which work well with
|
|
|
- the C++ Standard Library. One goal is to
|
|
|
- establish "existing practice" and provide
|
|
|
- reference implementations so that the Boost
|
|
|
- libraries are suitable for eventual
|
|
|
- standardization. Several Boost libraries will be
|
|
|
- included in the <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">
|
|
|
- C++ Standards Committee</a>'s upcoming

- <a href="http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/library_technical_report.html">C++ Standard Library Technical
|
|
|
- Report</a>.</p>
|
|
|
- <p>Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee Library
|
|
|
- Working Group, membership has expanded to include nearly two thousand
|

|
- programmers from the C++ community at large.</p>

- <p>August 12, 2003 - <b>ALERT</b></p>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <p>Significant problems were found in
|
|
|
- the 1.30.1 release, so it has been
|
|
|
- withdrawn from the website. These
|
|
|
- problems mostly take the form of
|
|
|
- missing files due to an error by the
|
|
|
- release manager in using CVS to tag
|
|
|
- the release. We expect to release
|
|
|
- Version 1.30.2 in a few days. Stay
|
|
|
- tuned.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <p>Until then, you may want to get
|
|
|
- the <code>RC_1_30_0</code> branch
|
|
|
- (which, with only very slight
|
|
|
- modification, will become version
|
|
|
- 1.30.2) from our <a
|
|
|

|
+ <p>The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
|
|
|
+ The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library. One
|
|
|
+ goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations
|
|
|
+ so that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Several
|
|
|
+ Boost libraries will be included in the <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">
|
|
|
+ C++ Standards Committee</a>'s upcoming <a href="http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/library_technical_report.html">
|
|
|
+ C++ Standard Library Technical Report</a>.</p>
|
|
|
+ <p>Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee Library
|
|
|
+ Working Group, membership has expanded to include nearly two thousand
|
|
|
+ programmers from the C++ community at large.</p>

|
+ <p>August 12, 2003 - <b>ALERT</b></p>
|
|
|
+ <p>
|
|
|
+ Significant problems were found in the 1.30.1 release, so it has been withdrawn
|
|
|
+ from the website. These problems mostly take the form of missing files due to
|
|
|
+ an error by the release manager in using CVS to tag the release. We expect to
|
|
|
+ release Version 1.30.2 in a few days. Stay tuned.
|
|
|
+ <p>Until then, you may want to get the <code>RC_1_30_0</code> branch (which, with
|
|
|
+ only very slight modification, will become version 1.30.2) from our <a href="more/getting_started.html#CVS">
|
|
|
+ CVS</a> repository or the <a href="more/getting_started.html#CVS">CVS mirror</a>
|
|
|
+ at <a href="http://www.boost-consulting.com">Boost Consulting</a>
