  74. <p>The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
  75. The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library.
  76. The libraries are intended to be widely useful, and are
  77. in regular use by thousands of programmers across a
  78. broad spectrum of applications.</p>
  79. <p>A further
  80. goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations
  81. so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization.
  82. Ten
  83. Boost libraries will be included in the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">
  84. C++ Standards Committee</a>'s upcoming <a href="http://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/library_technical_report.html">
  85. C++ Standard Library Technical Report</a> as a
  86. step toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard.</p>
  87. <p>Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee Library
  88. Working Group, participation has expanded to include thousands
  89. programmers from the C++ community at large.</p>
  90. <h2><a name="Membership">Participation</a></h2>
  91. <p>If you are interested in participating in Boost, please join
  92. our main <a href="more/mailing_lists.htm#main">developers mailing list</a>. Discussions
  93. are highly technical, and list members are encouraged to participate in formal
  94. reviews of proposed libraries. There is also a

  140. <h4>New License</h4>
  141. A unified <a href="more/license_info.html">Boost Software License</a> has been
  142. developed and will gradually replace the individual licenses for most Boost libraries.
  143. The new license offers better legal protection for both users and developers,
  144. and should speed user's legal reviews of Boost libraries. Dave Abrahams led the
  145. Boost effort to develop better licensing. The legal team was led by <a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/people/cabell/index.html">
  146. Diane Cabell</a>, Director, Clinical Programs, <a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu">
  147. Berkman Center for Internet &amp; Society</a>, Harvard Law School. <a href="http://www.nixonpeabody.com/attorneys_detail1.asp?ID=121">
  148. Devin Smith</a>, attorney, <a href="http://www.nixonpeabody.com/default.asp">Nixon
  149. Peabody LLP</a>, wrote the Boost License. Eva Chan, Harvard Law School,
  150. contributed analysis of issues and drafts of various legal documents.
  151. <blockquote>
  152. <b>Please Note:</b> Many of the Boost
  153. libraries are still using earlier
  154. licenses, though all conform to the <a
  155. href="more/lib_guide.htm#license">Boost
  156. License Requirements</a>. After this
  157. release we will begin an effort to

  318. <h3>August 12, 2003 - <b>ALERT</b></h3>
  319. <p>
  320. Significant problems were found in the 1.30.1 release, so it has been withdrawn
  321. from the website. These problems mostly take the form of missing files due to
  322. an error by the release manager in using CVS to tag the release. We expect to
  323. release Version 1.30.2 in a few days. Stay tuned.
  324. <p>Until then, you may want to get the <code>RC_1_30_0</code> branch (which, with
  325. only very slight modification, will become version 1.30.2) from our <a href="more/getting_started.html#CVS">
  326. CVS</a> repository or the <a href="more/getting_started.html#CVS">CVS mirror</a>
  327. at <a href="http://www.boost-consulting.com">Boost Consulting</a>
