- <p>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++
- source libraries.</p>
-
- <p>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++
- Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be
- widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of
- applications. The <a href=
- "more/license_info.html">Boost license</a> encourages
- both commercial and non-commercial use.</p>
-
- <p>We aim to establish "existing practice" and
- provide reference implementations so that Boost
- libraries are suitable for eventual standardization.
- Ten Boost libraries are already included in the
- <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21">C++
- Standards Committee's</a> Library Technical Report (
- <a href=
- "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf">
- TR1</a>) as a step toward becoming part of a future
- C++ Standard. More Boost libraries are proposed for
- the upcoming <a href=
- "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1810.html">
- TR2</a>.</p>

- started:</span> <span class="note-body">Boost works
- on almost any modern operating system, including UNIX

-
- <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>

+ <P>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.</P>
+ <P>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
+ Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a
+ broad spectrum of applications. The <A href="more/license_info.html">Boost
+ license</A> encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.</P>
+ <P>We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
+ implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
+ standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the <A
+ href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21">C++ Standards
+ Committee's</A> Library Technical Report ( <A
+ href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf">TR1</A>)
+ as a step toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard. More Boost
+ libraries are proposed for the upcoming <A
+ href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1810.html">TR2</A>.</P>
+ <P class=note><SPAN class=note-label>Getting started:</SPAN> <SPAN
+ class=note-body>Boost works on almost any modern operating system,
+ including UNIX and Windows variants. Follow the <A
+ href="more/getting_started.html">Getting Started Guide</A> to download and
+ install Boost. Popular Linux and Unix distributions such as <A
+ href="http://fedora.redhat.com/">Fedora</A>, <A
+ href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</A>, and <A
+ href="http://www.netbsd.org/">NetBSD</A> include pre-built Boost packages.
+ Boost may also already be available on your organization's internal web
+ server.</SPAN></P>
+ <P class=note><SPAN class=note-label>Background:</SPAN> <SPAN
+ class=note-body>The <A href="more/background.html">Background Information

+ <P>Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee

+ programmers from the C++ community at large.</P>
+ <P>If you are interested in participating in Boost, please join our main
+ <A href="more/mailing_lists.htm#main">developers mailing list</A>.
+ Discussions are highly technical, and list members are encouraged to
