Hi everyone,
I'm happy to share that Boost.DynamicBitset is officially back in business!
After some years of relative quiet, I'm resuming active maintenance of the library. My goal is to ensure dynamic_bitset continues to be a reliable and efficient tool for bit manipulation in C++ projects. I'll be reviewing open issues and pull requests, modernizing parts of the codebase where appropriate, and welcoming contributions and feedback from the community.
If you've been using dynamic_bitset, have ideas for improvements, or just want to help shape its future, now's a great time to get involved. Feel free to reach out, open issues, or start discussions.
Looking forward to collaborating with you all.
Best, Gennaro
Great news Gennaro! Boost has great containers, some based/replacing std components but with better/different features and other new container types with useful use cases. We should probably do some PR effort on this front explaining why Boost containers are great and why/when you should use them instead of std ones in many cases. One related area (maybe another library?) could be to have some bit scanning and manipulation routines or different containers. One (old) library that could be used as inspiration could be Bitscan (now, integrated in BitGraph https://github.com/psanse/BitGraph/tree/master/src/bitscan), which has GNU license. Best, Ion
