<p>The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library. One
goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations
so that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Several
Boost libraries will be included in the <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">
C++ Standards Committee</a>'s upcoming <a href="http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/library_technical_report.html">
C++ Standard Library Technical Report</a>.</p>
<p>Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee Library
Working Group, membership has expanded to include nearly two thousand
programmers from the C++ community at large.</p>
<h2><a name="Membership">Membership</a></h2>
<p>If you are interested in becoming a member of Boost, please do so by joining
our main developers mailing list. Discussions include both technical and
site-related issues, and members are encouraged to participate in formal
reviews of proposed libraries. There is also a users mailing list.</p>
<p>Both the main Boost developers list and the users list are also accessible as <a href="more/mailing_lists.htm">
newsgroups</a>.</p>

<p>????? 2003 - Version 1.31.0</p>
<ul>
<li>
A unified <a href="more/license_info.html">Boost Software License</a> has been
developed and will replace the individual licenses for most Boost libraries.
The new license offers better legal protection for both users and developers,
and should speed user's legal reviews of Boost libraries. Dave Abrahams led the
Boost effort to develop better licensing. The legal team was led by <a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/people/cabell/index.html">
Diane Cabell</a>, Director, Clinical Programs, <a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu">
Berkman Center for Internet & Society</a>, Harvard Law School. <a href="http://www.nixonpeabody.com/attorneys_detail1.asp?ID=121">
Devin Smith</a>, attorney, <a href="http://www.nixonpeabody.com/default.asp">Nixon
Peabody LLP</a>, wrote the Boost License. Eva Chan, Harvard Law School,
contributed analysis of issues and drafts of various legal documents.
<li>
<a href="libs/utility/enable_if.html">enable_if</a> added - Selective inclusion
of function template overloads, from Jaakko Järvi, Jeremiah Willcock, and
Andrew Lumsdaine. This is an important new technique which exploits the <em>SFINAE</em>
(substitution-failure-is-not-an-error) principle.
<li>
<a href="libs/variant/index.html">Variant Library</a>
added - Safe, generic, stack-based discriminated union container, from Eric
Friedman and Itay Maman.
<li>
<a href="libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm">Filesystem Library</a>: Several
added functions, including improved checking for directory and file name
portability.
<li>
<a href="libs/random/index.html">Random Number Library</a>: interface changed
to C++ library <a href="libs/random/wg21-proposal.html">TR proposal</a>,
from Jens Maurer.
<LI>
<A href="libs/regex/doc/index.html">Regex</A>: Completely new matching
algorithm is now much faster than before, plus a selection of <A href="libs/regex/doc/history.html">
new features and enhancements</A>.
<li>
<a href="libs/date_time/doc/index.html">Date Time Library:</a> A whole host of
bug fixes, new features, and documentation improvements. See <a href="libs/date_time/doc/Changes.html">
Date Time Change History</a>
for details.
<li>
<a href="libs/compose/index.htm">Compose</a>: This library has been deprecated
and will be removed in a future release. Use <a href="libs/bind/bind.html">Bind</a>
or <a href="libs/lambda/doc/index.html">Lambda</a>
instead.
<li>
<a href="libs/multi_array/index.html">MultiArray</a>: The <tt>multi_array</tt> class
template now provides an element-preserving resize operation as well as default
construction (see the <a href="libs/multi_array/doc/reference.html">reference
manual</a> for more information).
</li>
</ul>
<p>August 19, 2003 - Version 1.30.2 (bugfix release)</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://www.boost-consulting.com">Boost Consulting</a> is now hosting

<li>
<a href="tools/build/v1/msvc-stlport-tools.html">msvc-stlport</a> and <a href="tools/build/v1/intel-win32-tools.html">
intel-win32-stlport</a>
toolsets now build static libraries with multithreading enabled, to be
compatible with the STLPort builds.

handles <code>wchar_t</code>
correctly when intel is installed over msvc6.
<li>
Backported fixes from the main trunk which prevent errors building the <a href="libs/test/doc/index.html">
Boost.Test</a>
library in its default configuration.
<li>
Backported portability improvements for <a href="libs/utility/checked_delete.html">
checked_delete</a>.
<li>
Locale support for metrowerks (requiring a statically-linked runtime) is more
uniformly handled.
<li>
Backported <a href="libs/conversion/lexical_cast.htm">conversion/lexical_cast</a>'s
<code>wchar_t</code>
fixes from the main trunk.
<li>

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

under msvc 7.0.

const& r)</code>
function in "boost/spirit/utility/impl/chset/range_run.ipp".
