                        <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 (

                        TR1</a>) as a step toward becoming part of a future
                        C++ Standard. More Boost libraries are proposed for
                        the upcoming <a href=

                        <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
