These open-source libraries work well with the C++ Standard Library, and are usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use. This release contains one new library (Heap) and numerous enhancements and bug fixes for existing libraries. For details, including download links, see http://www.boost.org/users/news/version_1_49_0 You can also download directly from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.49.0/ To install this release on your system, see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html Thanks, --The Boost release team Beman Dawes Daniel James Eric Niebler Rene Rivera Vladimir Prus _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe &amp; other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-announce </pre> Beman Dawes 2012-02-24T21:55:14 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.announce/350 <pre>The review of BOOST.PREDEF by Rene Riviera is scheduled between Monday, February 20th to February 29th. ================ Contents &amp; Scope ================ BOOST.PREDEF defines a set of compiler, architecture, operating system, and library version numbers from the information it can gather of C++ predefined macros or those defined in generally available headers. The idea for this library grew out of a proposal to extend the Boost Config library to provide more, and consistent, information than the feature definitions it supports. What follows is an edited version of that brief proposal. =============== How to get it ? =============== Sources and documentation can be retrieved from http://tinyurl.com/73n6a3k ================ Writing a Review ================ The reviews and all comments should be submitted to the developers list, and the email should have "[PREDEF] Review" at the beginning of the subject line to make sure it's not missed.

After a slow start, three reviews were eventually submitted, all positive. For a mini-review, I think this is enough and, as the review manager, I'm happy to announce that Boost.Context is accepted as an official boost library. Congratulations to Oliver for this achievement and thanks for submitting an useful library to Boost. Most of the review discussions were around the quality of the documentation and some misunderstanding of some details of the library. While the documentation has greatly improved since the first review, I think that it can be still improved. I encourage Oliver to seek the help of some native English speaker to help copy edit the docs. Finally I would like to thanks everybody that participated in the review discussions and in particular those that submitted reviews. regards, </pre> Giovanni Piero Deretta 2012-01-29T17:15:17 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.announce/348 <pre>Boost release 1.49.0 beta 1 is now available from SourceForge See http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/ This release contains a new library, Boost.Heap priority queues, and numerous enhancements and bug fixes for existing libraries.

The issues raised in all reviews were taken seriously by Marshall and recorded in the issue tracker at https://github.com/mclow/Boost.Algorithm I trust that Marshall will address the most important ones immediately, so I feel no need to place conditions on acceptance.

After following the lively Local review discussion several weeks ago, and reviewing the discussion a second (and sometimes third) time, I have come to the above conclusion. There was quite a bit of passion on both the sides of "aisle", and thus, obviously, no decision I make would be well-received by all. Let me start by summarizing the main arguments against including Local in Boost: (a) Local functions are not very useful, at least in the presence of existing alternatives (e.g., namespace functions and Boost.Phoenix). (b) Local is really a portability library for C++03 presenting an imperfect emulation of features readily available in C++11. (c) Local's interface is primarily macro-based, making code ugly and difficult to read. In my opinion as the review manager, a sufficient number of individuals in the discussion found the library "useful" to address (a) (sometimes with additional positive adverbs); indeed, at least a couple individuals have shared positive experiences </pre> Jeffrey Lee Hellrung, Jr. 2011-12-12T08:15:19 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.announce/340 <pre>Release 1.48.0 of the Boost C++ Libraries is now available.

The review of Lorenzo Caminiti's proposed Boost.Local library begins tomorrow, ***November 10, 2011***, and ends on ***November 19, 2011***. Boost.Local implements local functions, local blocks, and local exits for the C++ programming language. It allows one to define a function at any declarative scope, including function scope; bind variables from the enclosing scope; and pass this function to templated STL-style algorithms. Please see the Introduction of the documentation for a longer but still brief overview. -------- The code and documentation are available from the Boost sandbox ( https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/): https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/local/ [everything] https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/local/boost/ [code] https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/local/libs/local/doc/html/index.html[documentation] -------- Please state clearly whether you think this library should be accepted as a Boost library.

The verdict is that Boost.Endian is **CONDITIONNALY ACCEPTED** Here is what needs to be done to get the library ready for a mini-review: * Common use case scenarios should be developed. * Example programs should be developed for the common use case scenarios. * Documentation should illuminate the differences between endian integer/float type and endian conversion approaches to the common use case scenarios, and provide guidelines for choosing the most appropriate approach in user's applications. * Conversion functions supplying results via return should be provided. * Platform specific performance enhancements such as use of compiler intrinsics or relaxed alignment re</pre> joel falcou 2011-11-03T18:53:03 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.announce/336 <pre>INAUGURAL C++ NOW!
