<H1>Welcome to Boost.org!</H1>
<DIV class=section-body>
<DIV class=section-body-0>
<DIV class=section-body-1>
<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="http://www.boost.org/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 ( <A
href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf">TR1</A>)
as a step toward becoming part of a future 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>
<P class=note><SPAN class=note-label>Getting started:</SPAN> <SPAN
class=note-body>Boost works on almost any modern operating system,
including UNIX and Windows variants. Follow the <A
href="more/getting_started.html">Getting Started Guide</A> to download and
install Boost. Popular Linux and Unix distributions such as <A
href="http://fedora.redhat.com/">Fedora</A>, <A
href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</A>, and <A
href="http://www.netbsd.org/">NetBSD</A> include pre-built Boost packages.
Boost may also already be available on your organization's internal web
server.</SPAN></P>
<P class=note><SPAN class=note-label>Background:</SPAN> <SPAN
class=note-body>The <A href="http://www.boost.org/more/background.html">Background Information
page</A> has introductory material to help those educating their

<P>Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee
Library Working Group, participation has expanded to include thousands of
programmers from the C++ community at large.</P>
<P>If you are interested in participating in Boost, please join our main
<A href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#main">developers mailing list</A>.
Discussions are highly technical, and list members are encouraged to
participate in formal reviews of proposed libraries. There is also a <A

Library</A>:</SPAN> An implementation of the C++ Technical Report on
Standard Library Extensions, from John Maddock. 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, result_of, Function Object Binders,
Polymorphic function wrappers, Type Traits, Random Number Generators and
Distributions, Tuples, Fixed Size Array, Hash Function Objects, Regular
Expressions, and Complex Number Additional Algorithms.

<LI><SPAN class=library><A href="libs/function/index.html">Function
Library</A>:</SPAN> Boost.Function now implements a small buffer
optimization, which can drastically improve the performance when copying
or constructing Boost.Function objects storing small function objects.
For instance, <CODE>bind(&amp;X:foo, &amp;x, _1, _2)</CODE> requires no
heap allocation when placed into a Boost.Function object.

<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

<h2 class="title">Welcome to the Boost C++ Libraries, Release 1.35.0!</h2>
<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=
"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="/doc/libs/release/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>
