Doug, - try us. I hereby grant you permission to use XEP to format Boost project's documentation in server environment until our VP of Sales - Kevin Brown, contacts Boost and emails our formal license for such purpose. Kevin should do it either tonight or in several days (he's out of town). He will also send you a license for DevKit that includes API. I think you will find it useful. Let me know if you need anything else: Java PDF, Docbook PDF related tools: www.renderx.com/tools our new development - DiType: http://moin.renderx.com/rxwiki We always like to work with technology people who promote open standards.

[Probability] version 0.2.3 released
by Brook Milligan 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

In order to better motivate the need for the Boost Probability library, I have updated the documentation, which is accessible at http://biology.nmsu.edu/software/probability/ Although this constitutes a new release, the only difference is in documentation. As a result, the contents of v0.2.2 in the Boost Vault still reflect exactly the most recent release and I haven't uploaded a new copy. The new motivational example is taken from the problem of ascertaining the long-term trend of global climate. One database used to assess this is available from the NOAA National Climate Data Center (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/ghcn-monthly/index.php) It contains monthly data for thousands of stations worldwide, in many cases for decades. Today's version, for example, contains 590,543 records of mean temperature. A typical likelihood calculation evaluating a model of climate would involve a product of likelihoods across all of these records, almost certainly yielding a result on the order of 10^{-600,000} or less. Such numbers cannot be handled using typical floating point representations, so specialized solutions of some form are required. The natural method is to accumulate the sum of logarithms of likelihoods, rather than the product of likelihoods, across the dataset. This keeps the values within suitable bounds, but requires keeping track of the fact that different types of values (probabilities, likelihoods, and log likelihoods) are being used throughout a typical program. If these are all represented using native types, such as double, it is easy to lose track of the fact that they have different semantics. A real solution of this problem would include modules taking care of calculating the probability of each individual data record and modules taking care of accumulating that information across the records. The problem is complex enough that each of these responsibilities would realistically be divided across many units and it would not be unreasonable to expect development to be divided among many programmers. In such situations it is all too easy to lose track of what semantics apply to a specific value when the only information available in the code is the data type (e.g., double) which provides little help and some (perhaps untrustworthy) comments that may or may not be read and in any case cannot affect the compiler. Using the Probability library, one can encode the exact semantics using the type system in a way that lends itself to generic programming. The resulting clarity, safety, and maintainability is retained regardless of how large the code base becomes and how the operations are distributed across modules and/or programmers. As a result of these features, I feel that this library makes a significant contribution to solving a well-defined set of problems that occur in certain types of scientific programming and modeling. I hope you will take a serious look at its capabilities and provide me with further feedback. I am especially interested in improving the portability of the code and need testers with access to compilers other than g++. I look forward to your comments, suggestions, and general discussion. Thank you. Cheers, Brook

SVN commit emails per-project
by Vladimir Prus 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Is there any way to have per-project SVN commit emails? Say, I'd like all commits in tools/jam and tools/build/v2 to go to a dedicated mailing list. We used to have boost-build(a)lists.sourceforge.net mailing list for that, but not it obviously does not work. Thanks, Volodya

[Important] Boost Subversion repository is now online
by Douglas Gregor 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hello all, The Boost Subversion repository is now back online. All of the files in CVS (including their histories) have been imported into the Subversion repository. CVS is still available for anonymous, read- only access for now, but will not be updated. The main Boost development branch is available via anonymous, read- only checkout at: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/ Or for developer read/write access at: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/ Information about accessing the Boost Subversion repository is available at: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostSubversion Please report any problems to me to the main Boost list, and we will try to resolve them as quickly as possible. We still need help porting the regression-testing script over to use Subversion. See Trac ticket #1122: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1122 Also, there is more documentation that will need to be updated within the Boost tree. - Doug Subversion tip: when you commit a change to Subversion that fixes ticket number NNN, include the text "Fixes #NNN" in your commit log. Trac will automatically close the ticket and cross-reference the commit with the ticket. See, for example, http://svn.boost.org/trac/ boost/changeset/38330

Re: [boost] ScopeExit Review Begins Today
by Küppers, Ben 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Alexander, I understand your gripes about the lambda syntax, but to be perfectly frank, I have never used lambda expressions in combination with the scope guard (which is maybe why your arguments have so far been unable to convince me). My clean up actions tend to be trivial function calls or functors that don't require any lambda syntax. Moreover, I am convinced any lambda expression wouldn't get through our code inspection for exactly the reasons you bring up. However, I fear that I will face similar resistance to your syntax. It's hard to argue that a macro with (seemingly) un-typed arguments, a code block between curly braces followed by another macro, look anything like C++ (and arguing its correctness based on a future language standard probably won't do me much good either). I think the scope guard functionality is an essential tool for many programmers so its syntax needs to be accessible to the masses. A quick glimpse through some of the other reviews seems to indicate that I am not the only one with this concern. -Ben This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

I was just curious what servers you had tested on. No need to apologise. Personally I would rather you implement the protocols then spend time testing against servers! ;) At the end of the day the end users (ie those interested in using the library) will test and provide feedback on how well it works. The main reason I was asking about support for IIS7, was it will be easier for me to test against this configuration (I am planning on setting up a virtual machine running server 2008 (I got a beta 3 disk at TechEd)). > > 2.

The main reason for this would be for portability; Note: I am making the assumption that the support for pipes would be *nix only. Peter.

Logically they are implementing different standards. I know there is some overlap in behaviour and use. Maybe this could be in a boost::cgi::common namespace and be pulled into each of the distinct namespaces. Peter.

Looking for ScopeExit Reviews
by Jody Hagins 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

The review ends in three days (on Wednesday). The current collection of reviews is very small, thus I am asking for more reviews of this library. Thanks! >From the original announcement... The review period for Scope Exit Time Series, submitted by Alexander Nasonov, runs from Monday, August 13 until Wednesday, August 22. >From the documentation: Nowadays, every C++ developer is familiar with RAII technique. It binds resource acquisition and release to initialization and destruction of a variable that holds the resource. But there are times when writing a special class for such variable is not worth the effort. This is when ScopeExit macro comes into play. You put resource acquisition directly in your code and next to it you write a code that releases the resource. Note that ScopeExit uses PP macros and relies on Boost.Typeof. The latest version can is here: http://boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=sc… It's available also at http://tinyurl.com/2z6qg2 Online documentation is here: http://194.6.223.221/~nasonov/scope_exit-0.04/libs/scope_exit/doc/html/inde… >From the review guidelines here: http://boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm ... Boost mailing list members are encouraged to submit Formal Review comments: * Publicly on the mailing list. * Privately to the Review Manager. Private comments to a library submitter may be helpful to her or him, but won't help the Review Manager reach a decision, so the other forms are preferred. What to include in Review Comments Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: * What is your evaluation of the design? * What is your evaluation of the implementation? * What is your evaluation of the documentation? * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally, every review should answer this question: * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. Thanks in advance to every for your participation in this review.

Calling library maintainers
by Marshall Clow 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

I was doing some cleanup on the boost Trac this morning - trying to make sure that bugs were getting to the right people, and I have bugs that I want to assign to libraries (and maintainers), but the maintainers are not users on the Trac system. I would appreciate it if all library maintainers would create accounts for themselves on Trac. Instructions can be found here: <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/>. Doing bug triage this morning, I was looking for user names for: Ion Gaztanaga (interprocess) Thorsten Ottosen (range, ptr_container) Stephen Cleary (pool) Jaakko Jarvi (lambda) Fernando Cacciola (optional) Alexander Nasonov (any) John R. Bandela (tokenizer) If I've got any of these names wrong or if someone else is now maintaining these libraries, please let me know (they came from "libs/maintainers.txt") Thanks in advance! -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:marshall@idio.com> It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
