- <li>Wave now correctly recognizes pp-number

+
+ <h4>Supported Compilers</h4>
+
+ <p>Boost is tested on a wide range of compilers and
+ platforms. Since Boost libraries rely on modern C++
+ features not available in all compilers, not all
+ Boost libraries will work with every compiler. The
+ following compilers and platforms have been
+ extensively tested with Boost, although many other
+ compilers and platforms will work as well. For more
+ information, see the <a href=
+ "http://www.boost.org/regression/release/user/">regression
+ test results</a>.</p>
+
+ <p><b>New for this release</b>: Support for building
+ with the newest STLport-5.0 was added. The support
+ includes building with MinGW Runtime 3.8 plus
+ STLport-5.0 improved to support wide character
+ operations. Apple GCC 4.0, HP Tru64 C++, and
+ Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 are supported platforms. We
+ have added an experimental autoconf-like
+ <code>configure</code> script for Unix-like systems:
+ run <code>configure --help</code> for more
+ information.</p>
