                        <p>This is a bug fix release addressing many problems with the 1.34.0 release.
                        It is a recommended upgrade for all users of Boost 1.34.0. For a complete list of fixes see
                        <a href="http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/query?status=closed&amp;milestone=Boost+1.34.1">Boost Trac</a>.</p>
                        
                        <h4>Supported Compilers</h4>

                        <p>New in this release is improved support for
                        the IBM XL C/C++ compiler.</p>
                        
                        <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.
                        New in this release 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=

                          This library does not itself implement the TR1
                          components, rather it's a thin wrapper that will
                          include your standard library's TR1 implementation
                          (if it has one), otherwise it will include the
                          Boost Library equivalents, and import them into
                          namespace <code>std::tr1</code>. Highlights
                          include: Reference Wrappers, Smart Pointers,

                              improved. It is now possible to recover and
                              continue after an error or a warning was

                              <li>The overall performance has been improved by upto

                              <li>Support for new pragmas has been added allowing to

                               preprocessed sources (partial output redirection,

                        <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

                        <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

                        <p><b>New for this release</b>: Support for building
                        with the newest STLport-5.0 was added. The support

                        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:

                    <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=

                    <h4>Important - New Toolset Names</h4>

                    <p>The names of some the Boost.Build <a href=
                    "getting_started.html#Tools">toolsets</a> have been
                    changed to remove the "<code>.</code>" (dot) character
                    and to fix some other naming inconsistencies. For
                    example, <code>vc7.1</code> toolset was renamed to become
                    <code>vc-7_1</code>. Please refer to the <a href=
                    "getting_started.html#Tools">Supported Toolsets</a>
                    section of the installation guide for the complete list
                    of the current toolset names. This change was made as a
                    part of the effort to make the Boost distribution
                    compatible with ISO 9660 level 2 requirements.</p>

                    <h4>Regression tests</h4>

                    <p>This release has been extensively tested on a variety
                    of different compilers and platforms. It is known to
                    contain no regressions against the previous reference
                    release on the compilers and configurations tested.
                    Please refer to the corresponding <a href=

                    an enormous job, and Aleksey always goes beyond merely
                    meeting requirements by insisting on the highest possible
                    quality. The Boost membership owes him a debt of
                    gratitude.</p>

                    <p>This release wouldn't have been possible without the

                    <h4>New License</h4>

                    <p>A unified <a href="license_info.html">Boost Software
                    License</a> has been developed and will gradually 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

                    School, contributed analysis of issues and drafts of
                    various legal documents.</p>

                    <p><strong>Note:</strong> Many of the Boost libraries are
                    still using earlier licenses, though all conform to the
                    <a href="lib_guide.htm#license">Boost License
                    Requirements</a>. After this release we will begin an
                    effort to move toward uniform use of the new license.</p>
