The review of Jan Gaspar's Circular Buffer
library starts today (March 5th) and runs for 10 days.

Latest version of the library is available at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/circular_buffer_v3.6.zip

What it is:
  Circular buffer (also known as ring or
  cyclic buffer) is container with fixed
  upper limit on number of elements inside.

  When capacity gets exhausted newly inserted
  elements will cause oldest elements to get
  dropped out.

What makes the library Boost candidate:
  - it provides often used functionality,
  - it is STL compliant generic solution,
  - it is designed for CPU/memory efficiency,
  - it is fully documented and tested,
  - it contains extensive debug support,
  - it has been informally reviewed for long time.

Discovered problems in code or in documentation,
missing features, portability issues
and finally opinion whether the library belongs
to Boost is welcomed.
