Dear Boost community,

The formal review of Louis Dionne's Hana library begins today,10th June
and ends on 24th June.

Hana is a header-only library for C++ metaprogramming that provides
facilities for computations on both types and values. It provides a
superset of the functionality provided by Boost.MPL and Boost.Fusion
but with more expressiveness, faster compilation times, and faster (or
equal) run times.

To dive right in to examples, please see the Quick start section of the
library's documentation:
http://ldionne.com/hana/index.html#tutorial-quickstart

Hana makes use of C++14 language features and thus requires a C++14
conforming compiler. It is recommended you evaluate it with clang 3.5 or
higher.

Hana's source code is available on Github:
https://github.com/ldionne/hana

Full documentation is also viewable on Github:
http://ldionne.github.io/hana

To read the documentation offline:
git clone http://github.com/ldionne/hana --branch=gh-pages doc/gh-pages

For a gentle introduction to Hana, please see:
