Hi to all,

I've just uploaded to boost sandbox...

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/move/)

and Boost.Vault...

http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=boost.move.container.zip&directory=Containers&

...new versions of libraries Boost.Move and Boost.Container.

Online documentation can be found here:

Boost.Move

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/move/libs/move/doc/html/index.html

Boost.Container

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/move/libs/container/doc/html/index.html

I would like to request a review for both libraries. Boost.Move is quite 
small (just one header).

Boost.Container depends on Boost.Move and Boost.Intrusive so you must 
download also the post-1.40 version of Intrusive placed in the same 
package (Boost.Container uses new features from Intrusive not included 
in Boost 1.40). Just take fresh Boost 1.39 folder and overwrite it with 
package contents.

************************
What's new in Boost.Move:
************************

->The library has been modified to support moving rvalues of copyable 
AND movable types, a limitation of the previous version. This changes 
where proposed by Klaus Triendl in this thread:

http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2009/06/153266.php

The library has now new macros to declare copyable and movable types and 
movable only types. Old macros are still there for backwards 
compatibility (specially unordered library which was also ported to this 
move sandbox) but I expect to remove them if current approach is 
considered better.

->Updated documentation and tests.

************************
What's new in Boost.Container:
************************

-> Added tests and documentation
-> Updated the library to the new Boost.Move macros

I've tested both libraries in Windows XP using the following compilers: 
Visual 7.1, Visual 8.0, Visual 9.0, Intel 10.0, Mingw-gcc 4.3 and 
Mingw-gcc 4.3 in C++0x mode. The library should work on any C++03 
conforming compiler

Best,

Ion
