<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.
|
||
The libraries are intended to be widely useful, and are
|
||
in regular use by thousands of programmers across a
|
||
broad spectrum of applications.</P>
|
||
<P>A further
|
||
goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations
|
||
so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization.
|
||
Ten
|
||
Boost libraries will be included in the <A href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">
|
||
C++ Standards Committee</A>'s upcoming <A href="http://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/library_technical_report.html">
|
||
C++ Standard Library Technical Report</A> as a
|
||
step toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard.</P>
|
||
<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="more/mailing_lists.htm#main">developers mailing list</A>. Discussions

are highly technical, and list members are encouraged to participate in formal

<H3>January 26, 2004 - Version 1.31.0</H3>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<H4>New License</H4>
|
||
A unified <A href="more/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 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.
|
||
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
||
<B>Please Note:</B> Many of the Boost
|
||
libraries are still using earlier
|
||
licenses, though all conform to the <A
|
||
href="more/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.

<H3>August 12, 2003 - <B>ALERT</B></H3>
|
||
<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>
