The <a href= + "http://www.boost.org/users/license.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>) + and will be included in the upcoming revision of the 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> + + <h3>Changes in this release</h3> + + <p>This release includes new libraries blah, blah, and blah, and + maintenance fixes to existing libraries. See <a href="????">Release + History</a> for more information.</p> + + <h3>Getting Started</h3> + + <p>If Boost hasn't already been installed on your system, follow the + <a href="more/getting_started/index.html">Getting Started Guide</a> to + complete the installation. But if you've reached to this point by + installing Boost from a Windows pre-build executable or a pre-built Linux + and Unix distribution package, that's already been completed. Likewise, if + you're reading this on your organization's internal web server, the + installation is probably already complete.</p> + + <h3>Contents</h3> + + <p>The release directory tree contains almost all of Boost; documentation, + sources, headers, scripts, tools, and everything else a Boost user might + need!</p> + + <h3>Library Documentation</h3> + + <p>The starting point for the documentation of individual libraries is the + <a href="libs/libraries.htm">Libraries page</a>, which gives a brief + description of each library and links to its documentation.</p> + + <h3>Web Site</h3> + + <p>Some general interest or often changing Boost information lives only on + the <a href="http://www.boost.org">Boost web site</a>. The release contains + links to the site, so while browsing it you'll see occasional broken links + if you aren't connected to the Internet. But everything needed to use the + Boost libraries is contained within the release.</p> + + <h3>Background</h3> + + <p>Read the <a href="http://www.boost.org/users/">introductory material</a> + to help you understand what Boost is about and to help in educating your + organization about Boost.</p> + + <h3>Community</h3> + + <p>Boost welcomes and thrives on participation from a variety of + individuals and organizations. Many avenues for participation are available + in the <a href="http://www.boost.org/community/">Boost Community</a>.</p> + + <div class="copyright-footer"> + <p>Copyright © 2008 Beman Dawes, Rene Rivera</p> + + <p>Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
