- <P>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.</P>
- <P>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
- Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a
- broad spectrum of applications. The <A href="http://www.boost.org/more/license_info.html">Boost
- license</A> encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.</P>
- <P>We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
- implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
- standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the <A
- href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21">C++ Standards
- Committee's</A> Library Technical Report ( <A
- href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf">TR1</A>)
- as a step toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard. More Boost
- libraries are proposed for the upcoming <A
- href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1810.html">TR2</A>.</P>
- <P class=note><SPAN class=note-label>Getting started:</SPAN> <SPAN
- class=note-body>Boost works on almost any modern operating system,
- including UNIX and Windows variants. Follow the <A
- href="more/getting_started.html">Getting Started Guide</A> to download and
- install Boost. Popular Linux and Unix distributions such as <A
- href="http://fedora.redhat.com/">Fedora</A>, <A
- href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</A>, and <A
- href="http://www.netbsd.org/">NetBSD</A> include pre-built Boost packages.
- Boost may also already be available on your organization's internal web
- server.</SPAN></P>
- <P class=note><SPAN class=note-label>Background:</SPAN> <SPAN

- <P>If you are interested in participating in Boost, please join our main
- developers mailing list.
- Discussions are highly technical, and list members are encouraged to

+ <h2 class="title">Welcome to the Boost C++ Libraries, Release 1.35.0!</h2>
+
+ <p>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.</p>
+
+ <p>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
+ Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad
+ spectrum of applications. The <a href=
+ "http://www.boost.org/users/license.html">Boost license</a> encourages both
+ commercial and non-commercial use.</p>
+
+ <p>We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
+ implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
+ standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the <a href=
+ "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++ Standards Committee's</a>
+ Library Technical Report (<a href=
+ "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf">TR1</a>)
+ and will be included in the upcoming revision of the C++ Standard. More
+ Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming <a href=
+ "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1810.html">TR2</a>.</p>
+
+ <h3>Changes in this release</h3>
+
+ <p>This release includes new libraries blah, blah, and blah, and
+ maintenance fixes to existing libraries. See <a href="????">Release
+ History</a> for more information.</p>
+
+ <h3>Getting Started</h3>
+
+ <p>If Boost hasn't already been installed on your system, follow the
+ <a href="/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html">Getting Started
+ Guide</a> to complete the installation. But if you've reached to this point
+ by installing Boost from a Windows pre-build executable or a pre-built
+ Linux and Unix distribution package, that's already been completed.
+ Likewise, if you're reading this on your organization's internal web
+ server, the installation is probably already complete.</p>
+
+ <h3>Contents</h3>
+
+ <p>The release directory tree contains almost all of Boost; documentation,
+ sources, headers, scripts, tools, and everything else a Boost user might
+ need!</p>
+
+ <h3>Library Documentation</h3>
+
+ <p>The starting point for the documentation of individual libraries is the
+ Libraries page, which gives a brief
+ description of each library and links to its documentation.</p>
+
+ <h3>Web Site</h3>
+
+ <p>Some general interest or often changing Boost information lives only on
+ the Boost web site. The release contains
+ links to the site, so while browsing it you'll see occasional broken links
+ if you aren't connected to the Internet. But everything needed to use the
+ Boost libraries is contained within the release.</p>
+
+ <h3>Background</h3>
+
+ <p>Read the introductory material
+ to help you understand what Boost is about and to help in educating your
+ organization about Boost.</p>
+
+ <h3>Community</h3>
+
+ <p>Boost welcomes and thrives on participation from a variety of
+ individuals and organizations. Many avenues for participation are available
+ in the Boost Community.</p>
