  18. <dt>July 24, 2007 -- Boost Version 1.34.1 Released.</dt>
  19. <dd>This is a bug fix release addressing many problems with the 1.34.0 release.

  22. <p>We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at the list
  23. of libraries in need of managers and check out their descriptions. In
  24. general review managers are active boost participants or library
  25. contributors. If you can serve as review manager for any of them,
  26. email Ron Garcia or John Phillips, &quot;garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu&quot;
  27. and &quot;jphillip at capital dot edu&quot; respectively.</p>
  28. <p>A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org.
  29. If you would like us to make any modifications or additions to this
  30. report before we do that, please email Ron or John.</p>
  31. <p>If you're library author and plan on submitting a library for review
  32. in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or John a short description of your
  33. library and we'll add it to the Libraries Under Construction below.
  34. We know that there are many libraries that are near completion, but we
  35. have hard time keeping track all of them. Please keep us informed
  36. about your progress.</p>

  68. <p class="last">When the exception class is used, arbitrary values can be stored
  69. in any exception. This can be done directly in the
  70. throw-expression, or at a later time as the exception object
  71. propagates up the call stack. The ability to add data to any
  72. exception object after it has been thrown is important, because
  73. often some of the information needed to handle an exception is
  74. unavailable at the time of the throw.</p>

  214. <li>A suite of graph measures including degree and closeness

  216. coefficients.</li>
  217. <li>An algorithm for visiting all cycles in a directed graph (Tiernan's
  218. from 1970ish). It works for undirected graphs too, but reports cycles
  219. twice (one for each direction).</li>
  220. <li>An algorithm for visiting all the cliques a graph (Bron&amp;Kerbosch).
  221. Works for both directed and undirected.</li>
  222. <li>Derived graph measures radius and diameter (from eccentricity) and
  223. girth and circumference (from Tiernan), and clique number (from
  224. Bron&amp;Kerbosch).</li>
  225. <li>An exterior_property class that helps hides some of the weirdness
  226. with exterior properties.</li>
  227. <li>runtime and compile-time tests for the new algorithms.</li>
  228. <li>a substantial amount of documentation</li>
  229. <li>Graph cores, implemented by David Gleich (&#64;Stanford University)</li>
  230. <li>Deterministic graph generators - capable of creating or inducing
  231. specific types of graphs over a vertex set (e.g., star graph, wheel
  232. graph, prism graph, etc). There are several other specific types that
  233. could be added to this, but I haven't had the time just yet.</li>
