Re: Boost website changes and .'cxxstd'

Hi Edward,

I have updated the 'C++ Minimum' sort in the libraries page.

So the libs with 'cxxstd' values will appear first in the sort by 'C++
Minimum', and then the ones without the values sorted by their names.

I also increased the width of the ‘C++ Standard Minimum Level’ label in the
new update.
This may show up after clearing the browser cache.

Thank you,
Donovan
