<p>Happy New Year!  Here are some statistics regarding Boost Library
reviews in 2005:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>12 Libraries were reviewed</li>
<li>8 Libraries were accepted</li>
<li>1 Library (Function Types) was accepted pending a mini-review</li>
<li>2 Libraries were rejected</li>
<li>1 Library has yet to receive a final verdict (ASIO)</li>

<p>Policy Pointer has been removed from the review queue because the author has
stated that it is not quite ready.</p>
<p>We need review managers.  Please take a look at the list of libraries
in need of managers and check out their descriptions.  If you can
serve as review manager for any of them, send one of us an email.</p>

sized strings (char s[ n ]). It provides a C-style string
interface for compatibility with C code (for
example, porting a C program to C++).
There is also a std::string-style interface using a class based on
flex_string by Andre Alexandrescu with a few limitations due to the
non-resizable nature of the class.</td>

more and more forgotten in the C++-world due to the presence of the
standard containers, which don't support intrusive
techniques. Boost.Intrusive not only reintroduces this technique to
C++, but also encapsulates the implementation in STL-like
interfaces. Hence anyone familiar with standard containers can use
intrusive containers with ease.</td>

algorithms. A set of heterogenous containers (vector, list, set and

various composable views over the data. The containers and views
follow a common sequence concept with an underlying iterator concept
that binds it all together, suitably making the algorithms fully
generic over all sequence types.</p>
<p class="last">The architecture is somewhat modeled after MPL which in turn is
modeled after STL. It is code-named &quot;fusion&quot; because the library is
the &quot;fusion&quot; of compile time metaprogramming with runtime programming.</p>

However, it's implementation can be tricky, and with many pitfalls
(especially regarding memory management).
The pimpl_ptr library is a single header file, implementing a special
policy based smart pointer to greately ease the implementation of the
pimpl idiom.</td>
