- <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

- libraries are proposed for the upcoming <A

- <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

-<h1>An overview of Boost participation in
-Google Summer of Code™ 2006</h1>
-
-<hr>
-
-<p>
-For the second consecutive year, Google has conducted its
-Summer of Code™ initiative,
-a program by which student developers are sponsored for their contributions
-within open source organizations willing to mentor the participants. The 2006
-campaign has run between April and September, with active development work
-taking place between May 23 and August 21.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Around mid April, when the program had just started, some Boost members began
-considering the possibility to enter Summer of Code as a mentoring
-organization. Despite the lack of time and the fact that most of us were
-completely new to this initiative, Boost managed to successfully apply for
-the program. As a result ten projects were selected and mentored, most of
-which are expected to become full contributions to Boost in the near future.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-We give here a summary report of this experience, along with a short analysis
-of the main problems we found, so that we can work at solving them and do
-better next year.

-<h2><a name="how_the_program_works">How the program works</a></h2>
-
-<p>
-There are three types of participants in Google Summer of Code:
-<ul>
- <li>Google itself acts as the funding partner and conducts the overall
- program.</li>
- <li>The open source organizations accepted into the program must designate
- people inside the organization who will act as project mentors.</li>
- <li>Students submit their project ideas and, if selected, work in
- collaboration with one of the mentoring organizations; upon successful
- completion of the project, students receive the full stipend for the
- program.</li>
-</ul>
-The program goes through the following stages:
-<ul>
- <li>Organization selection: those open source organizations willing to
- enter Summer of Code submit an expression of interest to Google, along
- with information Google uses for qualifying purposes. Selected organizations
- are publicly announced and each organization is expected to provide a pool
- of project ideas.</li>
- <li>Student selection: students willing to participate submit one or more
- project proposals, typically expanding on some of the ideas previously
- provided by the mentoring organizations. A student can apply several times
- and for different organizations, but ultimately can only be chosen for just
- one project. These proposals are routed by Google to the appropriate
- organizations, which must analyze them, rank them, and assign mentors to the
- most promising applications. Based on the information provided by mentoring
- organizations, Google issues the final list of accepted projects.</li>
- <li>Development: Students, guided by their assigned mentors, are expected to
- complete the projects in a period of three months. Google asks mentors for a
- mid-program review upon which continuation of the project depends.</li>
- <li>Final review: Once the development period is over, mentors are requested
- to inform Google on the results of the project, and determine whether students
- qualify to receive the full stipend.</li>
-</ul>
-</p>
-
-<h3><a name="2006_figures">2006 figures</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-The 2006 campaign of Google Summer of Code took place between April 14 and
-September 25. A total of 102 mentoring organizations participated. Of the 6,338
-applications submitted by 3,044 students around the globe, 630 were finally
-selected and funded. Google has spent more than US$3 million in student stipends
-and compensations to the mentoring organizations.

-<h2><a name="#boost_participation">Boost participation</a></h2>
-
-<h3><a name="#application_and_process_selection">Application and
-process selection</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-On April 14, the same day Google Summer of Code started, Julio M. Merino Vidal
-(later to become one of the selected students) sent a message encouraging Boost
-members to participate in this program as a mentoring organization. This call
-sparked the interest of the community; although time was already short for doing
-all the preparation labors, Boost moderators put rapidly themselves to work and
-conducted the preliminary registration steps. In the meantime, a Wiki page was
-grown with project ideas provided by Boost members, totalling more than twenty
-proposals.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-By the beginning of May Boost was officially accepted into the program and Boost
-moderators set out to form a group of mentors, selected on an invitation basis.
-As student selection is a delicate process, involving the assessment of individuals
-on their technical skills, all subsequent discussions were conducted by the
-selected mentors on a private mail list established for their collaboration.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-We were not prepared for the avalanche of student applications that followed. On
-day two after the application period was open, we had received three proposals;
-next day it was 14, and within a week the count exceeded 50. By the end of the
-application period the total number of proposals received was 174, which forced
-us to go through a very intensive ranking process and recruit additional mentors.
-Two rules were followed so as rationalize the process of selection among dozens
-of different proposals:
-<ul>
- <li>Where there were competing applications for the same project idea, only
- one were to be ultimately selected; so, no two projects with the same or very
- similar goals were accepted.</li>
- <li>Some of the applications built on a given Boost library (for instance, the
- Boost Graph Library is a frequent target for the addition of algorithms.) We
- limited the applications to a maximum of two per Boost library.</li>
-</ul>
-These rules have the combined effect of greatly reducing the number of eligible
-applications while at the same time distributing the accepted projects evenly
-across the space of ideas. Moreover, students with unique proposals, i.e. project
-ideas not coming from the pool originally presented by Boost, are at a
-competitive advantage.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The different proposals were classified according to its related technological
-area so that each cluster could be handled by an appointed mentor with the
-required expertise on the subject. Mentors submitted then "focus reports"
-summarizing the applications under their responsibility; these reports served as
-a first filter to help reduce the number of final applications to be evaluated
-jointly. Along the process, students with the most promising proposals were asked
-to refine their ideas and provide further information.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Although not enforced by the official rules, we agreed upon a one-to-one ratio
-of mentors to students, which ultimately marked a hard limit on the maximum number
-of eligible projects.
-</p>
-
-<h3><a name="accepted_projects">Accepted projects</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Google accepted and funded the ten top-ranked projects endorsed by Boost. Of
-these, eight projects are libraries or library components targeted for future
-inclusion into Boost, while the remaining two consist of utility programs
-heavily relying on Boost.

-<h3><a name="development">Development</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Two main facilities were set up to assist students and mentors during the
-development phase: a mailing list and a Trac/SVN project management system
-with separate directories for each project. One of the students, Matías
-Capeletto, out of personal initiative registered a Google Group aimed at giving
-students with Boost a place for informal interaction and discussion of common
-problems.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-After the initial warm-up period, each student-mentor pair performed development
-work mostly privately. The usage of the Boost mailing lists was scarce, and
-only by the end of the program did some students publicly announced their results.
-</p>
-
-<h3><a name="results">Results</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-By the date the development period was officially closed, the status of the
-different projects was as follows:
-<ul>
- <li>Seven projects were completed or nearly completed and the students are
- expected to ask for a formal review within 2006 or early 2007. Four of these
- projects necessitated a goal reorientation during development, basically
- because the original plan was too ambitious for three months. Most of the
- projects are still in active development during the months following the
- Summer of Code program.</li>
- <li>Two projects did not reach the planned goals, but nevertheless produced
- useful material that could be expanded outside of the Summer of Code
- program.</li>
- <li>One project was abandoned shortly after the midterm review. The reasons
- for the abandonment are unknown.</li>
-</ul>
-The results of all the projects can be consulted online at the dedicated

-
-<p>
-The fact that Boost is ranked the sixth most attractive organization out of a
-total of 102 was entirely unexpected, especially considering the wide popularity
-of the rest of top-rated organizations. There is a more or less implicit
-consensus among Boost members that ours is a relatively niche project, known for
-its quality standards by seasoned C++ practitioners, but with a limited penetration
-among entry level programmers: maybe the figures above should make us reconsider
-this assumption. A cursory examination of the applications submitted to Boost reveals
-that most applicants were regular users of Boost: many cite the Boost status among
-the C++ community as an appealing factor in order to apply.

-It turns out that the project/application ratio for almost any other organization
-among the top nine is considerably higher than that of Boost. As it happens, Google
-initially requested that organizations submitted the maximum number of projects they
-felt they could cope with, and we got funding for exactly what we aimed for, so the
-limiting factor lies entirely on Boost's side.
-</p>
-
-<h3><a name="projects_startup">Projects startup</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Contributing to Boost relies on a fair number of guidelines and protocols for
-coding, documentation, testing and maintenance. Many of the required tools are
-exclusively used within Boost, and some of them are not trivial, like for instance
-Boost.Build. Although the Boost web site contains information about all these tools
-and procedures, this intelligence is scattered through unrelated pages and sometimes
-is very hard to come by.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-So, there is a good deal of expertise required to begin working at Boost. Some
-students have reported on startup difficulties getting to know these details and
-familiarizing themselves with the tools, most notably <code>bjam</code> and Quickbook. Each
-student overcome the startup difficulties on their own or resorting to their
-mentors (see the section on <a href="#public_communication_issues">public
-communication issues</a>).
-</p>
-
-<h3><a name="ongoing_development">Ongoing development</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Once students got past the startup stage, most projects advanced without serious
-complications. In the majority of cases, it was realized at some point during
-the development that there was no time to complete it. Some participants had to
-redefine the goals in an effort to keep the project within schedule, while others
-simply decided that they would continue working after the official deadline of
-Summer of Code.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The information flow between each student and their mentor was usually reported
-by both parties to be satisfactory. The projects suffering from lack of
-communication have been precisely those yielding the poorest results. In general,
-mentors have not felt overwhelmed by requests from their students, and even in a
-couple of cases the projects were run practically unattendedly. This fact is
-witness to the high competence of the students recruited into the program.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The degree of usage of the Trac/SVN system has varied. Some students did frequent
-updates, while others have just used the repository to dump the final results for
-the official submission to Google.
-</p>
-
-<h3><a name="public_communication_issues">Public communication
-issues</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Students and mentors had at their disposal three different forums for the public
-interchange of information and support:
-<ul>
- <li>Boost public lists, especially the developers and users lists.</li>
- <li>A dedicated mailing list reaching all students and mentors working at
- Summer of Code in Boost.</li>
- <li>A more casual Google Group, set up by one of the students, aimed at
- providing the participants with a place for socializing and resolution of
- common problems.</li>
-</ul>
-Despite this abundance of resources, there was an almost complete lack of group
-communication among all the parties involved and between these and the larger
-Boost community. Seemingly, students were satisfied to pursue their activities by
-relying on support from their mentors alone. This circumstance has prevented
-Boost members from enriching the initiative by offering their experience and
-insight, and has possibly led students to the false impression that contributing
-to Boost proceeds in a predictable linear path from requisites to completion of
-the work. When asked about their not engaging in public communication, the students
-gave vague justifications that can be classified into the following:
-<ul>
- <li>Doubts were deemed too technical or specific to be worth raising in
- public.</li>
- <li>A crave for perfectionism detracted students from asking or submitting work
- in progress until they felt their material looked good enough.</li>
- <li>Shyness: some students probably lacked previous experience communicating in
- public, and most are not English native speakers, which could also be a
- limiting factor.</li>
-</ul>
-Although students did not identify the following as a reason not to go public, it
-is likely that many of them did not feel the need given the readily access to their
-mentors they enjoyed. It is easy to grow used to such a dedicated source of support
-and neglect resorting to other resources. Mentors should have encouraged their
-students to pursue the public discussion of projects, which constitutes one of the
-pillars of Boost renowned quality.
-</p>
-
-<h3><a name="scope_of_projects">Scope of projects</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-In hindsight, it has become apparent that most projects were too ambitious to be
-completed within the three months of duration of the program, and even those that
-were considered a success will need weeks or months of polishing up before the
-material is ready for a formal review. In contrast with other organizations
-participating in the Summer of Code program, Boost has as of this writing included
-no results into its code base. No formal review for any project has been requested
-yet, either.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-These scope issues are very dependent on the particular type of project. We can
-classify the Boost projects for Summer of Code as follows:
-<ul>
- <li>Full-fledged libraries,</li>
- <li>additions to existing Boost libraries,</li>
- <li>utilities and tool projects using Boost.</li>
-</ul>
-Of these, additions (like for instance the mincut/maxflow algorithm for BGL by
-Stephan Diederich) are the most suitable for completion in a short period of time:
-most of the preparation work is already done, and the student has clear guides as
-to what coding and documentation standards to follow. Also, these projects need
-not undergo a formal review, since it is the responsibility of the hosting library
-author to review the code and include it within her discretion. Utility projects
-seem also suitable for small timeframes, though most project proposals and requests
-are naturally oriented to contributions of actual code to the Boost project.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-As for those projects involving the design and realization of full-fledged
-libraries, there is little hope that the goals and scope can be kept modest enough
-for a three-month schedule. Boost candidate libraries developed by professional
-authors usually take much longer than three months to be accepted; some libraries
-have been evolving through several <i>years</i> before being included into Boost.
-So, the best we can hope for if we are to support the realization of library projects
-for Boost inside Summer of Code is that the results by the end of the program can
-be evaluated to constitute a viable <i>potential</i> contribution to Boost. When this is
-the case, it is crucial that the student commits to further working on the project
-up to completion and formal review. Perhaps more important than getting libraries
-coded is to engage new authors into a long-term relationship with the Boost project.
-</p>
-
-<h2><a name="suggestions_for_improvement">Suggestions for improvement</a></h2>
-
-<p>
-The following proposals aim to alleviate some of the problems we have identified
-during the development of Summer of Code within Boost. These action points are
-related only to the issues found in connection with Boost: we are not addressing
-other areas of improvement associated to the Summer of Code program itself.
-</p>
-
-<h3><a name="preparation">Preparation</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Much work can be done before the actual program begins. The following preparation
-activities can already be launched:
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Create a pool of ideas for projects.</b> This action will provide valuable extra
-time for evaluation and refining of ideas before the Summer of Code begins.
-The experience has shown that those projects with more preparation work, especially
-in the area of design, were ultimately more successful. The pool can also be used
-to retain interesting ideas that arise at the mailing lists and very often are
-not given proper attention and become abandoned.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Create a student pool.</b> Prior involvement with Boost is clearly an advantage
-both in the selection phase and later during project development. Those students
-with a serious interest in participating in Summer of Code with Boost can enter
-the pool and begin exploring ideas and interacting with the community well in
-advance of the summer, so as to put themselves in a favorable position for the
-selection. Advertisement for the student pool can be initiated in the beginning of
-2007 through the usual channels (web site and mailing lists): additionally, Boost
-members involved with the University can spread this information locally and help
-raise the interest of students in their environment.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Create a mentor pool.</b> Given the rush with which Boost entered the 2006
-Summer of Code campaign, the invitation of mentors has to be done on an on-demand
-basis as it became all too evident that the task was growing bigger and bigger.
-It is important that the organization is better prepared next year so that a
-number of people with the ability and will to participate as Boost mentors are
-identified in advance.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Prepare a startup package.</b> In order to facilitate the initial period of
-getting familiarized with the various Boost guidelines, protocols and tools, it
-would be extremely useful to prepare a compilation of startup material for
-students. This package can consist of a single document gathering the currently
-dispersed information, or go beyond this and provide some bundle of documentation
-and pre-built tools, an approach that one of the students is currently working on.
-</p>
-
-<h3><a name="public_communication">Public communication</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-It is crucial that students get involved with the community as soon as possible
-and grow to appreciate the advantages of public development with respect to
-solitary coding.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Mandate (bi)weekly reports.</b> These reports should be directed to the public
-mailing lists so as to give all Boost members an opportunity to follow the work
-in progress and contribute. Reporting has the extra benefit for students of
-forcing them to reflect on their own work periodically and struggle with the
-often difficult task of presenting their ideas to others.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Conduct student-mentor exclusively through public channels.</b> This might be
-too drastic a policy, as some matters need privacy, and depending on the amount
-of information exchanged flooding problems may arise. Less severe variations
-involve allowing for some private interchange at the mentors' discretion and
-moving this kind of communication to a dedicated public mailing list different
-from the general ones.
-</p>
-
-<h3><a name="project_management">Project management</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-The two most important issues to improve upon with respect to the management are:
-<ul>
- <li>Project scope must be kept under control,</li>
- <li>The progress has to be publicly visible, so that problems of scope,
- design and/or schedule can be more easily detected.</li>
-</ul>
-Some of the proposals in this section are not to be regarded as strict rules,
-but rather as general guidelines to be kept in mind by students and encouraged
-by mentors.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Create a best practices document.</b> This document can serve as a guideline
-for project management, an area in which Boost traditionally imposes no
-requirements. Students might lack the expertise in this area that is usually
-taken for granted in the traditional model where contributions to Boost are
-made by professional programmers.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Mandate a design phase.</b> Having a concrete design set up and clearly
-described early in the project will help estimate the necessary effort for
-completion of the work. This is also an opportunity for public discussion.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Maintain code, docs and tests in parallel.</b> All too often, novice
-programmers do the coding in one fell swoop and only then move to testing and
-documenting their work. This is unacceptable by all current methodology
-standards, and can result in serious underestimations of the time to
-completion.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Encourage the KISS principle.</b> It is much better to finish a simpler library
-and then iteratively evolve it, once it has been exposed to public scrutiny and
-usage.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>More Trac updates.</b> The repository should be viewed as an everyday work
-tool, not only as the place into which to dump the final results. Updating often
-leads to more visibility of the work by the mentor and the public in general.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Informal reviews.</b> The typical Summer of Code Boost project will not be
-completed by the official deadline, as have been discussed earlier. To somehow
-officialize the work done within the Summer of Code proper, and also to allow
-the students to reach some sort of psychological milestone, informal reviews can
-be instituted where Boost members evaluate the work done at then end of Summer
-of Code.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Engage students.</b> This experience has shown that it is possible to guide
-willing and bright students to the competence levels required for contributing
-to Boost. The best possible outcome of Summer of Code campaigns are the
-incorporation of new people into the circle of Boost active contributors. Strive
-to make the students commit to Boost.
-</p>
-
-<h2><a name="conclusions">Conclusions</a></h2>
-
-<p>
-Despite the lack of previous experience in Boost, our participation in Google
-Summer of Code has been extremely fruitful: much useful material has been produced,
-and, perhaps more importantly, some of the students are likely to commit on a
-long-term basis and grow to be regular Boost contributors. Traditionally, becoming
-a productive Boost author has a very high entry barrier due to the extreme quality
-standards, lack of public support and the very specific culture of the project.
-The appeal of Summer of Code itself and the possibility of being gently mentored
-into the world of Boost have most likely been key factors in lowering this entry
-barrier.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The process has not been without some difficulties, either, as it was expected of
-a newcomer organization as Boost. We have tried to identify in this paper the
-areas of improvement and suggest specific actions so that the upcoming Google
-Summer of Code 2007 can be an even more rewarding experience.
-</p>
-
-<h2><a name="acknowledgements">Acknowledgements</a></h2>
-
-<p>
-This paper couldn't have been written without the numerous reports and contributions
-kindly provided by Boost students and mentors: Many thanks to all the participants
-for sharing their experiences with me. Thank you also to the people at Google who
-have promoted and conducted the Summer of Code initiative.

-<h1>Boost Frequently Asked Questions</h1>
-
-<p><strong>How do I download the libraries?</strong>
- See Download instructions.</p>
-
-<p><b>What support is available for the libraries?</b> The
-Boost-Users mailing list is a good start.</p>
-
-<p><b>What do the Boost version numbers mean? </b>The scheme is x.y.z, where x is incremented only for massive changes, such as a reorganization of many libraries, y is incremented whenever a new library is added, and z is incremented for maintenance releases. y and z are reset to 0 if
-the value to the left changes. <br>
-<br>
-<b>Is there any assurance libraries actually work as claimed?</b> No. The review
-process will hopefully eliminate the most seriously flawed libraries, but a well
-constructed library with hidden defects is likely to slip through. Encouraging ordinary
-users to report their experience with a library is intended to address such concerns.
-See the Status page for an
-indication of how well a library works on specific platforms. </p>
-
-<p>
-<b>How can the Boost libraries be used successfully for important projects?
-</b>Many of the Boost libraries are actively maintained and improved, so backward compatibility with prior version isn't always possible. Deal with this by freezing the version of the Boost libraries used by your project. Only upgrade at points in your project's life cycle where a bit of change will not cause problems. Individual bug fixes can always be obtained from the CVS repository. </p>
-
-<p><b>How is a library accepted for posting on the site?</b>
-See Library Submission Process</p>
-
-<p><b>How does someone submit a Formal Review comment?</b> Send email to <a
-href="mailto:boost_at_[hidden]">boost_at_[hidden]</a>. See the <a href="formal_review_process.htm">Formal
-Review</a> page for more information. </p>
-
-<p><strong>How does someone submit a library?</strong> See <a href="lib_guide.htm">Library
-Guidelines</a></p>
-
-<p><b>Are commercial libraries requiring a fee acceptable?</b> No. However, a library that
-a commercial enterprise makes available without fee is acceptable. If the description of
-the library makes a low-key plug for the supplier, that is acceptable as long as the
-library delivers real value and isn't just a Trojan horse for the plug.</p>
-
-<p><b>Are shareware libraries acceptable?</b> No. Only free libraries
-will be accepted.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Are open source license libraries acceptable?</strong> Some
-are, many are not.
-Open source licenses often require redistribution or availability of source code,
-inclusion of license document with machine-executable redistribution, give the initial
-developer rights to licensee modifications, or need a lawyer to understand. These
-would be immediate disqualifications for many business, commercial, and consumer
-applications. Boost aims to avoid subjecting users to hard-to-comply-with license
-terms. See License requirements.<br>
-<br>
-This is subject to review for a particularly important piece of software, or as the
-industry changes.</p>
-
-<p><b>Must full source code be provided?</b> Yes, these are source code libraries.</p>
-
-<p><b>What about documentation?</b> A very simple library might be accepted with only a
-well commented header file. For more substantial libraries, some form of documentation is
-certainly going to be expected. HTML is the preferred form.</p>
-
-<p><b>Are platform specific libraries acceptable?</b> There is a preference for portable
-libraries. Libraries will be accepted that have portable interfaces but require platform
-specific implementations, as long as the author supplies implementations for a couple of
-disparate major operating systems.</p>
-
-<p><b>Must a library do useful work? </b>No. A library meant as a teaching example or
-demonstration might not actually do any work.</p>
-
-<p><b>Can an existing library be accepted by Boost?</b> Yes, although it would
-have to be "Boostified" to meet the requirements. The Boost
-Graph and Regex libraries are examples of libraries which began life elsewhere.</p>
-
-<p><b>Who owns the libraries?</b> Presumably many authors will copyright their libraries.
-Others authors may wish to place their libraries in the public domain. The Boost.org
-policy is to only accept libraries with a clear copyright notice and meeting the
-License requirements.. It is up to
-potential users to decide if the terms acceptable, and not to use
-libraries with unacceptable copyrights or licenses.</p>
-
-<p><b>Is there a formal relationship between Boost.org and the C++ Standards Committee?</b>
- No, although there is a strong informal relationship in that many members
-of the committee participate in Boost, and the people who started Boost were all
-committee members.</p>
-
-<p><b>Will the Boost.org libraries become part of the next C++ Standard?</b> Some
-might, someday, but that is up to the standards committee. Committee
-members who also participate in Boost will definitely be proposing at least some
-Boost libraries for standardization.</p>
-
-<p>Libraries which are "existing practice" are most likely to be
-accepted by the C++ committee for future standardization. Having a library
-accepted by Boost is
-one way to establish existing practice.</p>
-
-<p><b>Where does the name "Boost" come from?</b> Boost began with
-Robert Klarer and I fantasizing about a new library effort over dinner at a C++
-committee meeting in Sofia Antipolis, France, in 1998. Robert mentioned that Herb Sutter
-was working on a spoof proposal for a new language named Booze, which was
-supposed to be better than Java. Somehow that kicked off the idea of
-"Boost" as a name. We'd probably had a couple of glasses of good
-French wine at that point. It was just a working name, but no one ever came up
-with a replacement. (Beman Dawes)</p>
-
-<p><b>Is the web site a commercial business?</b> No. It is just some people getting together
-as a kind of cyberspace civic association. If it ever needs to incorporate, it would be as
-a
-non-profit organization.</p>
-
-<p><b>Is there any charge for submitting libraries or reviews to Boost.org?</b> No. Unlike
-the standards committees, you don't have to pay to volunteer!</p>
-
-<p><b>Will the site include material beyond libraries?</b> The main focus is on libraries,
-but if people contribute occasional articles or other material to make the site more
-interesting, that could be a nice fit.</p>
-
-<p><b>Why isn't there a separate boost mailing list for my favorite
-library? </b> One of the reasons for boost's success has been the cross-pollination of ideas between diverse library
-projects and the occasional look into other threads by otherwise uninterested parties. The more people participate, the less they tend to be annoyed by
-"noise".</p>
-
-<p><b>How can I cope with the large volume of boost mailing list messages?</b>
-One approach is to use the "digest" option; that cuts the email blizzard
-down to several (long) messages per day, so you can glance over the subjects
-summary at the top and quickly read what you think is important. The "no
-mail" option turns off list email entirely.</p>
-
-<p>Another approach is to follow the list traffic via an NTTP newsgroup reader.
-See Mailing List newsgroup
-information.</p>
-
-<p><b>Why do Boost headers have a .hpp suffix rather than .h or none at all?</b>
-File extensions communicate the "type" of the file, both to humans and
-to computer programs. The '.h' extension is used for C header files, and
-therefore communicates the wrong thing about C++ header files. Using no
-extension communicates nothing and forces inspection of file contents to
-determine type. Using '.hpp' unambiguously identifies it as C++ header file, and
-works well in actual practice. (Rainer Deyke)</p>
-
-<p><b>What should I do if I spot a bug in the Boost code or documentation?</b>
-See the suggestions on the Bugs page.</p>
-
-<p><b>How can I request a new feature in a Boost Library? </b>See the
-Requesting New Features page.</p>

-<h1>Feature Model Diagrams in text and HTML</h1>
-<p>By Beman Dawes</p>
-<h2>Introduction</h2>
-<p>In their seminal book, Generative Programming, Czarnecki and Eisenecker (C&E))
-describe how to build feature models [C&E 4.4] consisting of a feature
-diagram plus semantic, rationale, and other attributes. Feature models are
-then used to drive design cycles which eventually lead to manual or automatic
-assembly of configurations.</p>
-<p>Feature models provide a language to describe the library variability that is
-often such an issue in boost.org discussions. The Whorf hypothesis that
-"Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think
-about" seems to apply. In discussion of library variability issues,
-we have been crippled by lack of a good language. With feature models we now
-have a language to carry on the dialog.</p>
-<p>The graphical feature diagrams presented by C&E are not in a suitable
-form for the email discussions boost.org depends upon. The hierarchical nature
-of feature diagrams can be represented by a simple text-based feature diagram
-language. A feature model can also take advantage of the hyperlinks
-inherent in HTML.</p>
-<h2><a name="Grammar">Grammar</a></h2>
-<p>The grammar for the feature diagram language is expressed in Extended
-Bakus-Naur Form; ::= represents productions, [...] represents options, {...}
-represents zero or more instances, and represents | alternatives.</p>
-<blockquote>
- <pre>feature-model ::= concept-name details { feature }</pre>
- <pre>feature ::= feature-name [details]</pre>
- <pre>details ::= "(" feature-list ")" // required features
- | "[" feature-list "]" // optional features</pre>
- <pre>feature-list ::= element { "|" element } // one only
- | element { "+" element } // one or more
- | element { "," element } // all
- // [a+b] equivalent to [a,b]</pre>
- <pre>element ::= feature
- | details</pre>
- <pre>concept-name ::= name</pre>
- <pre>feature-name ::= name</pre>
-</blockquote>
-<p>The usual lexical conventions apply. Names are case-insensitive and consist
-of a leading letter, followed by letters, digits, underscores or hyphens, with
-no spaces allowed.</p>
-<p>At least one instance of each name should be hyperlinked to the corresponding
-Feature Description.</p>
-<p>While the grammar is intended for written communication between people, it
-may also be trivially machine parsed for use by automatic tools.</p>
-<h2><a id="FeatureDescriptions" name="FeatureDescriptions"></a></h2>
-<p>Descriptive information is associated with each concept or feature. According
-to [C&E 4.4.2] this includes:</p>
-<ul>
- <li>Semantic descriptions.</li>
- <li>Rationale.</li>
- <li>Stakeholders and client programs.</li>
- <li>Exemplar systems.</li>
- <li>Constraints and default dependency rules.</li>
- <li>Availability sites, binding sites, and binding mode.</li>
- <li>Open/Closed attribute.</li>
-</ul>
-<h2>What is a Feature?</h2>
-<p>A feature [C&E 4.9.1] is "anything users or client programs might
-want to control about a concept. Thus, during feature modeling, we
-document no only functional features ... but also implementation features, ...,
-various optimizations, alternative implementation techniques, and so on."</p>
-<h2>Example</h2>
-<blockquote>
- <pre>special-container ( organization,
- performance,
- interface ) // all required</pre>
- <pre>organization [ ordered + indexed ] // zero or more (4 configurations)</pre>
- <pre>indexed [ hash-function ] // zero or one (2 configurations)</pre>
- <pre>performance ( fast | small | balanced ) // exactly one (3 configurations)</pre>
- <pre>interface ( STL-style + cursor-style ) // one or more (3 configurations)</pre>
-</blockquote>
-<p>There should be feature descriptions for <code>some-container, organization,
-ordered, indexed, hash-function, performance, fast, small, balanced, interface,
-STL-style, and cursor-style</code>.</p>
-<p>The number of possible configurations is (2 + 2*2) * 3 * 3 = 54,
-assuming no constraints.</p>
-<p>There are equivalent representations. For example:</p>
-<blockquote>
- <pre>special-container ( organization[ ordered+indexed[ hash-function ]],
- performance( fast|small|balanced ),
- interface( STL-style+cursor-style ) )</pre>
-</blockquote>

- <h2><a name="Introduction" id="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
-
- <p>Proposed libraries are accepted into Boost only after undergoing a
- formal review, where Boost mailing list members comment on their evaluation
- of the library.</p>
-
- <p>The final "accept" or "reject" decision is made by the <a href=
- "#Review_Manager">Review Manager</a>, based on the review comments received
- from boost mailing list members.</p>
-
- <p>Boost mailing list members are encouraged to submit Formal Review
- comments:</p>
-
- <blockquote>
- <ul>
- <li>Publicly on the mailing list.</li>
-
- <li>Privately to the Review Manager.</li>
- </ul>
- </blockquote>
-
- <p>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.</p>
-
- <h2>What to include in Review <a name="Comments" id=
- "Comments">Comments</a></h2>
-
- <p>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.</p>
-
- <p>The goal of a Boost library review is to improve the library through
- constructive criticism, and at the end a decision must be made: is the
- library good enough at this point to accept into Boost? If not, we hope to
- have provided enough constructive criticism for it to be improved and
- accepted at a later time. The Serialization library is a good example of how
- constructive criticism resulted in revisions resulting in an excellent
- library that was accepted in its second review.</p>
-
- <p>Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>What is your evaluation of the design?<br></li>
-
- <li>What is your evaluation of the implementation?<br></li>
-
- <li>What is your evaluation of the documentation?<br></li>
-
- <li>What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the
- library?<br></li>
-
- <li>Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did
- you have any problems?<br></li>
-
- <li>How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick
- reading? In-depth study?<br></li>
-
- <li>Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>And finally, every review should answer this question:<br></p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>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.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>Many reviews include questions for library authors. Authors are
- interested in defending their library against your criticisms; otherwise
- they would not have brought their library up for review. If you don't get a
- response to your question quickly, be patient; if it takes too long or you
- don't get an answer you feel is sufficient, ask again or try to rephrase the
- question. Do remember that English is not the native language for many
- Boosters, and that can cause misunderstandings.<br>
- <br>
- E-mail is a poor communication medium, and even if messages rarely get lost
- in transmission, they often get drowned in the deluge of other messages.
- Don't assume that an unanswered message means you're being ignored. Given
- constructively, criticism will be taken better and have more positive
- effects, and you'll get the answers you want.</p>
-
- <h2><a name="Results">Results</a></h2>
-
- <p>At the conclusion of the comment period, the Review Manager will post a
- message to the mailing list saying if the library has been accepted or
- rejected. A rationale is also helpful, but its extent is up to the
- Review Manager. If there are suggestions, or conditions that must be met
- before final inclusion, they should be stated.</p>
-
- <h2>Notes for <a name="Review_Manager" id="Review_Manager">Review
- Manager</a>s</h2>
-
- <p>Before a library can be scheduled for formal review, an active boost
- member not connected with the library submission must volunteer to be the
- "Review Manager" for the library.</p>
-
- <p>The Review Manager:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Checks the submission to make sure it really is complete enough to
- warrant formal review. See the <a href="lib_guide.htm">Boost
- Library Requirements and Guidelines</a>. If necessary, work with
- the submitter to verify the code compiles and runs correctly on several
- compilers and platforms.</li>
-
- <li>Finalizes the schedule with the Review Wizard
- and the submitter .</li>
-
- <li>Posts a notice of the review schedule on the regular <b><a href=
- "mailto:boost_at_[hidden]">boost</a></b> mailing list, the
- <b><a href="mailto:boost-users_at_[hidden]">boost-users</a></b>
- mailing list, and the <b><a href=
- "mailto:boost-announce_at_[hidden]">boost-announce</a></b> mailing
- list.
-
- <ul>
- <li>The notice should include a brief description of the library and
- what it does, to let readers know if the library is one they are
- interested in reviewing.</li>
-
- <li>If the library is known to fail with certain compilers, please
- mention them in the review notice so reviewers with those compilers
- won't waste time diagnosing known problems.</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
-
- <li>Inspects the Boost <a href="../libs/libraries.htm">library
- catalogue</a> for libraries which may interact with the new submission.
- These potential interactions should be pointed out in the review
- announcement, and the author(s) of these libraries should be privately
- notified and urged to participate in the review.</li>
-
- <li>Urges people to do reviews if they aren't forthcoming.</li>
-
- <li>Follows review discussions regarding the library, moderating or
- answering questions as needed.</li>
-
- <li>Asks the review wizard for permission
- to extend the review schedule if it appears that too few reviews will
- be submitted during the review period.</li>
-
- <li>Decides if there is consensus to accept the library, and if there
- are any conditions attached.</li>
-
- <li>Decides if there is consensus to accept the library, and if there are
- any conditions attached.</li>
-
- <li>Posts a notice of the review results on the
- regular <b><a href="mailto:boost_at_[hidden]">boost</a></b> mailing
- list, the <b><a href=
- "mailto:boost-users_at_[hidden]">boost-users</a></b> mailing list,
- and the <b><a href=
- "mailto:boost-announce_at_[hidden]">boost-announce</a></b> mailing
- list.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>In other words, it is the Review Manager's responsibility to make sure
- the review process works smoothly.</p>
-
- <h2>Notes for Library <a name="Submitters" id=
- "Submitters">Submitters</a></h2>
-
- <p>See Submission Process for a
- description of the steps a library developer goes through to get a library
- accepted by Boost.</p>
-
- <p>A proposed library should remain stable during the review period; it
- will just confuse and irritate reviewers if there are numerous
- changes. It is, however, useful to upload fixes for serious bugs
- right away, particularly those which prevent reviewers from fully
- evaluating the library. Post a notice of such fixes on the mailing
- list.</p>
-
- <p>Library improvements suggested by reviewers should normally be held
- until after the completion of review period. If the suggested changes
- might affect reviewer's judgments, post a notice of the pending change
- on the mailing list.</p>
-
- <h2>Review <a name="Wizard" id="Wizard">Wizard</a></h2>
-
- <p>The Review Wizard coordinates the formal review schedule:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Maintains a list of review manager volunteers, in the form of a
- queue, so that volunteers who least recently managed reviews become the
- prime candidates for upcoming reviews.</li>
-
- <li>When a formal review is requested for a library:</li>
-
- <li style="list-style: none">
-
- <ul>
- <li>Assign a review manager and suggests a schedule, after checking
- (via private email) availability of the volunteers at the top of
- review manager queue.</li>
-
- <li>Finalize the schedule, once the review manager verifies the
- library is actually ready for review.</li>
-
- <li>Resolve schedule slips or other issues with review managers and
- submitters.</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
-
- <li>Monitors the general review process, and makes minor adjustments as
- needed, or queries the list about possible major adjustments.</li>
- </ul>
- The role of Boost Review Wizard is currently played by John
- Phillips (phillips at mps dot ohio-state dot edu) and Ronald
- Garcia (garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu).
-
- <li>Resolves questions from review managers and library submitters, who
- sometimes want a third opinion on questions such as "Should we extend the
- review period because ...?"</li>
-
- <li>Monitors the general review process, and makes minor adjustments as
- needed, or queries the list about possible major adjustments.</li>
- </ul>The role of Boost Review Wizard is currently played by <a href=
- "mailto:reportbase_at_[hidden]">Tom Brinkman</a> and Ronald Garcia (garcia at
- cs dot indiana dot edu).

-
- <p>To qualify for fast track review:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>The component must be small.</li>
-
- <li>The technique must be already in use in Boost libraries and the new
- component provides a common implementation.</li>
-
- <li>A full Boost-conformant implementation is available in the
- sandbox.</li>
-
- <li>The Review Wizard determines that the proposal qualifies for fast
- track review.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>Procedure:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>The Boost Review Wizard posts a review announcement to the main Boost
- developer's list. The review period will normally last for 5 days. No two
- fast track reviews will run in parallel. Fast track reviews may run
- during full reviews, though generally this is to be avoided.</li>
-
- <li>After the review period ends, the submitter will post a review
- summary containing proposed changes to the reviewed implementation.</li>
-
- <li>The Review Wizard will accept or reject the proposed library and
- proposed changes.</li>
-
- <li>After applying the proposed changes, the component is checked into
- CVS like any other library.<br>
- </li>

- <h1>Portability Hints: Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 SP4</h1>
-
- <p>Similar to the <a href="borland_cpp.html">portability hints for Borland
- C++</a>, this page provides hints on some language features of the
- Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0 service pack 4 compiler. A list of
- acknowledged deficiencies can be found at the <a href=
- "http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q243/4/51.asp">Microsoft
- support site</a>.</p>
-
- <p>Each entry in the following list describes a particular issue, complete
- with sample source code to demonstrate the effect. Most sample code herein
- has been verified to compile with gcc 2.95.2 and Comeau C++ 4.2.44.</p>
-
- <h2>Preprocessor symbol</h2>
-
- <p>The preprocessor symbol <code>_MSC_VER</code> is defined for all
- Microsoft C++ compilers. Its value is the internal version number of the
- compiler interpreted as a decimal number. Since a few other compilers also
- define this symbol, boost provides the symbol <code>BOOST_MSVC</code>,
- which is defined in boost/config.hpp to
- the value of _MSC_VER if and only if the compiler is really Microsoft
- Visual C++. The following table lists some known values.</p>
-
- <table border="1" summary="">
- <tr>
- <th>Compiler</th>
-
- <th><code>BOOST_MSVC</code> value</th>
- </tr>
-
- <tr>
- <td>Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (up to SP6)</td>
-
- <td>1200</td>
- </tr>
-
- <tr>
- <td>Microsoft embedded Visual C++ 4.0</td>
-
- <td>1200-1202 (cross compilers)</td>
- </tr>
- </table>
-
- <h2>Core Language</h2>
-
- <h3>[chained using] Chaining <code>using</code>-declarations</h3>
-
- <p>Chaining <code>using</code>-declarations does not work.</p>
- <pre>
-void f();
-
-namespace N {
- using ::f;
-}
-
-void g()
-{
- using N::f; // C2873: 'f': the symbol cannot be used in a using-declaration
-}
-</pre>
-
- <h3>[explicit-instantiation] Explicit function template instantiation</h3>
-
- <p>Trying to explicitly instantiate a function template leads to the wrong
- function being called silently.</p>
- <pre>
-#include <stdio.h>
-
-template<class T>
-void f()
-{
- printf("%d\n", sizeof(T));
-}
-
-int main()
-{
- f<double>(); // output: "1"
- f<char>(); // output: "1"
- return 0;
-}
-</pre>
-
- <h3>[for-scoping] Scopes of definitions in for-loops</h3>
-
- <p>The scope of variable definitions in <code>for</code> loops should be
- local to the loop's body, but it is instead local to the enclosing
- block.</p>
- <pre>
-int main()
-{
- for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
- ;
- for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) // C2374: 'i': Redefinition; multiple initialization
- ;
- return 0;
-}
-</pre>
-
- <p><strong>Workaround:</strong> Enclose the offending <code>for</code>
- loops in another pair of curly braces.</p>
-
- <p>Another possible workaround (brought to my attention by Vesa Karvonen)
- is this:</p>
- <pre>
-#ifndef for
-#define for if (0) {} else for
-#endif
-</pre>
-
- <p>Note that platform-specific inline functions in included headers might
- depend on the old-style <code>for</code> scoping.</p>
-
- <h3>[inclass-member-init] In-class member initialization</h3>
-
- <p>In-class member initialization, required to implement a
- Standard-conforming <code>std::numeric_limits</code> template, does not
- work.</p>
- <pre>
-struct A
-{
- static const int i = 5; // "invalid syntax for pure virtual method"
-};
-</pre>
-
- <p><strong>Workaround:</strong> Either use an enum (which has incorrect
- type, but can be used in compile-time constant expressions), or define the
- value out-of-line (which allows for the correct type, but prohibits using
- the constant in compile-time constant expressions). See <a href=
- "int_const_guidelines.htm">Coding Guidelines for Integral Constant
- Expressions</a> for guidelines how to define member constants portably in
- boost libraries.</p>
-
- <h3>[koenig-lookup] Argument-dependent lookup</h3>
-
- <p>Argument-dependent lookup, also called Koenig lookup, works for
- overloaded operators, but not for ordinary functions. No additional
- namespaces induced from the argument types seem to be considered.</p>
- <pre>
-namespace N {
- struct A {};
- void f(A);
-}
-
-void g()
-{
- N::A a;
- f(a); // 'f': undeclared identifier
-}
-</pre>
-
- <h3>[template-friend] Templates as friends</h3>
-
- <p>A Template cannot be declared a friend of a class.</p>
- <pre>
-template<class T>
-struct A {};
-
-struct B
-{
- template<class T>
- friend struct A; // "syntax error"
-};
-</pre>
-
- <h3>[member-template-outofline] Out-of-line definitions of member
- templates</h3>
-
- <p>Defining member templates outside their enclosing class does not
- work.</p>
- <pre>
-template<class T>
-struct A
-{
- template<class U>
- void f();
-};
-
-template<class T>
-template<class U> // "syntax error"
-void A<T>::f() // "T: undeclared identifier"
-{
-}
-</pre>
-
- <p><strong>Workaround:</strong> Define member templates in-line within
- their enclosing class.</p>
-
- <h3>[partial-spec] Partial specialization</h3>
-
- <p>Partial specialization of class templates does not work.</p>
- <pre>
-template<class T>
-struct A {};
-
-template<class T>
-struct B {};
-
-template<class T>
-struct A<B<T> > {}; // template class was already defined as a non-template
-</pre>
-
- <p><strong>Workaround:</strong> In some situations where interface does not
- matter, class member templates can simulate partial specialization.</p>
-
- <h3>[template-value] Dependent template value parameters</h3>
-
- <p>Template value parameters whose type depends on a previous template
- parameter provoke an internal compiler error if the correct syntax (with
- "typename") is used.</p>
- <pre>
-template<class T, typename T::result_type> // C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: msc1.cpp, line 1794
-struct B {};
- // (omit "typename" and it compiles)
-
-</pre>
-
- <p><strong>Workaround:</strong> Leave off the "typename" keyword. That
- makes the program non-conforming, though.</p>
-
- <h3>[wchar_t] <code>wchar_t</code> is not built-in</h3>
-
- <p>The type <code>wchar_t</code> is not a built-in type.</p>
- <pre>
-wchar_t x; // "missing storage class or type identifier"
-</pre>
-
- <p><strong>Workaround:</strong> When using Microsoft Visual C++, the header
- boost/config.hpp includes
- <code><cstddef></code>, which defines <code>wchar_t</code> as a
- typedef for <code>unsigned short</code>. Note that this means that the
- compiler does not regard <code>wchar_t</code> and <code>unsigned
- short</code> as distinct types, as is required by the standard, and so
- ambiguities may emanate when overloading on <code>wchar_t</code>. The macro
- <code>BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T</code> is defined in this situation.</p>
-
- <h3>[delete-const-pointer] Deleting <code>const X *</code> does not
- work</h3>
-
- <p>Trying to delete a pointer to a cv-qualified type gives an error:</p>
- <pre>
-void f()
-{
- const int *p = new int(5);
- delete p; // C2664: cannot convert from "const int *" to "void *"
-}
-</pre>
-
- <p><strong>Workaround:</strong> Define the function</p>
- <pre>
-inline void operator delete(const void *p) throw()
-{ operator delete(const_cast<void*>(p)); }
-</pre>
-
- <p>and similar functions for the other cv-qualifier combinations, for
- operator delete[], and for the <code>std::nothrow</code> variants.</p>
-
- <h2>Standard Library</h2>
-
- <h3>[clib-namespace] C library names in global namespace instead of
- std</h3>
-
- <p>Library names from the <c...> headers are in the global namespace
- instead of namespace std.</p>
-
- <p><b>Workaround:</b> The header <a href=
- "../libs/config/config.htm">boost/config.hpp</a> will define
- BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE. It can be used as follows:</p>
- <pre>
-# ifdef BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE
- namespace std { using ::abs; using ::fabs; }
-# endif
-</pre>
-
- <p>Because std::size_t and std::ptrdiff_t are so commonly used, the
- workaround for these is already provided in boost/config.hpp.</p>

-<h2><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
-<p>Historically, items on this checklist were accomplished by scripts written
-in Perl, Python, Bash, C++, and as Windows command files, or by point-and-click
-on a FrontPage or other GUI based program. Long term the plan is to move as much
-as possible of these to C++, as
-the one language all Boost developers are comfortable with. </p>
-<h2><a name="Pre-release">Pre-release</a> activities</h2>
-<ul>
- <li>After discussion on the main list, post the release schedule.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Verify the <i><b>root/index.htm</b></i>, <i><b>root/boost/version.hpp</b></i>, <i><b>root/Jamfile.v2</b></i> and
- <i><b>root/Jamrules</b></i>
- release numbers are correct and agree. <br>
- </li>
- <li>Verify via <a href="mailto:jamboost_at_[hidden]">jamboost_at_[hidden]</a>
- that bjam pre-built executables up-to-date.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Remove the oldest "Latest News" from root/index.htm.<br>
- </li>
- <li>For each new library added this release:</li>
-</ul>
-<blockquote>

- <li>Verify root/index.htm Latest News entry has been made and reads well.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Verify root/libs/libraries.htm entry has been made, both in the
- alphabetic list and in the category lists.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Verify the root/libs/xxx directory contains an index.htm or index.html
- file; either the main docs or a redirection to the main docs. <b><i>To do:
- automate this.</i></b><br>
- </li>
- <li>Skim read the primary docs pages to make sure they meet Boost
- requirements and guidelines. <b><i>Don't leave this until too late; it has
- turned up lots of issues in the past.<br>
- </i></b></li>

- c:\boost\temp\boost_1_28_0<br>
- <br>
- Note that several batch files assume these locations and naming schemes.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Export Win32 distribution: WinCVS | Remote | Checkout Module<br>
- <br>
- Checkout settings: module name and path on the server: boost, local folder to
- checkout to: c:\boost\boost_1_28_0<br>
- <b><i>[for 1.29.0 export, put everything in a boost_1_29_0/boost subdirectory.
- Experiments with 1.30.0 tried boost/boost as the path on server, but that just
- resulted in getting the boost header subdirectory only.]</i></b><br>
- <br>
- Checkout options: (check) By revision/tab/branch: Version_1_28_0, (check) Do
- not create CVS directories (export)<br>
- <br>
- This results in the follow command: cvs -z9 export -r Version_1_28_0 boost (in
- directory C:\boost\boost_1_28_0)<br>
- <br>
- (takes about ten minutes)<br>
- <br>
- (rename boost-root if needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)<br>
- </li>
- <li>Export Unix distribution: similar to above, except target is c:\boost\temp\boost_1_28_0
- and set global for UNIX nl.<br>
- </li>
- <li>!!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT: WinCVS | Set Preferences | Global back to non-UNIX nl.
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br>
- </li>
- <li>Add regression results web pages into package (new in 1.33 so this is just a shot at the process - jeff)<br>
- download all the regression results from website (may need meta-comm help on this)<br>
- unpack the regression results into tools/regression/latest_release<br>
- <br>
-
- </li>
- <li>General ZIP and TAR.GZ files<br>
- <br>
- n_n_n is 1_28_0 or whatever<br>

-<h1>Boost Release Procedures</h1>
-<p>Introduction<br>
-Procedure Overview<br>
-Procedures for Developers<br>
-Procedures for the Release Manager<br>
-FAQ<br>
-Acknowledgements</p>
-<h2><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
-<p>Each release of Boost software is overseen by a release manager, who
-coordinates release activities via the Boost mailing list, as well as performing
-the detailed procedures for the release.</p>
-<p>Boost developers assist the release manager by reviewing regression test
-logs, and committing fixes to CVS.</p>
-<h2>Release Procedure <a name="Overview">Overview</a></h2>
-<ul>
- <li>Discussion on the main Boost mailing list to determine the target date for
- release candidate branch and tag of the CVS main trunk.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Release manager performs release candidate branch, and also tags the
- branch point in main trunk.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Regression tests run on release candidate branch.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Developers fix problems, test, and commit fixes. See below for details.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Repeat previous two steps until release manager is satisfied.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Release manager rolls out the actual release.</li>
-</ul>
-<h2>Release Procedures for <a name="Developers">Developers</a></h2>
-<ul>
- <li>As the release candidate branch date approaches (as announced on the main
- mailing list), bring the main trunk CVS files you are responsible for into a
- stable state.<br>
- </li>
- <li>If you know of changes in either your code or its dependencies, start
- checking regression test results to ensure your tests still pass. Don't
- necessarily wait for the initial release tagging.<br>
- </li>
- <li>After the release manager announces that the release candidate branch has
- occurred, check the latest regression test results to be sure
- your tests haven't broken.<br>
- </li>
- <li>Developers can continue working on main trunk code changes after
- the release candidate branch has occurred. There is no need to wait until the release
- itself.
- Modified files committed to CVS on the main trunk will not be included in the release unless the
- developer explicitly commits the changes to the release candidate branch.<br>
- </li>
- <li>If specific to the release candidate only, the fixes should be committed
- directly to the release candidate branch. In the more common case of fixes
- which apply to both the main trunk and the release branch, the fixes are best
- made to the main trunk, and then merged into the release candidate branch. See
- FAQ for tag rationale.<br>
- <br>
- After a fix has been committed to the main trunk, here is a
- typical procedure (assuming the release candidate branch is named RC_1_26_2)
- to merge the fixed main trunk into the release candidate branch:</li>
-</ul>
-<blockquote>
- <ul>
- <li>Command Line CVS:</li>
- </ul>
- <blockquote>
- <ul>
- <li>Fixed code is committed to main branch <br>
- </li>
- <li>Switch to the release candidate branch
- <blockquote>
- <code>cvs update -r RC_1_26_2</code></blockquote>
- </li>
- <li>Merge changes in a trunk since previous merge to branch
- <blockquote>
-<pre>cvs update -jmerged_to_RC_1_26_2 -jHEAD buggycode.hpp
- --> RCS file: /cvsroot/boost/.../buggycode.hpp,v
- --> retrieving revision 1.4
- --> retrieving revision 1.6
- --> Merging differences between 1.4 and 1.6 into buggycode.hpp</pre>
- </blockquote>
- </li>
- <li>Commit merged branch
- <blockquote>
-<pre>cvs commit -m "Merged fix for problem xyz from trunk to branch" buggycode.hpp</pre>
- </blockquote>
- </li>
- <li>Go back to main trunk
- <blockquote>
-<pre>cvs update -A</pre>
- </blockquote>
- </li>
- <li>Move tag to a new merged point
- <blockquote>
-<pre>cvs tag -F -c merged_to_RC_1_28_2 buggycode.hpp</pre>
- </blockquote>
- </li>
- <li>Repeat as needed
- </li>
- </ul>
- </blockquote>
- <ul>
- <li>WinCVS:</li>
- </ul>
- <blockquote>
- <ul>
- <li>After fixed code is committed to main branch, switch to the release
- candidate branch:</li>
- </ul>
- <blockquote>
- <blockquote>
- <p>Select file(s) if not already selected.</p>
- <p>Modify | Update selection... |
- Update settings | Sticky options | Retrieve rev/tag/branch: <code>RC_1_26_2</code> | OK</p>
- </blockquote>
- </blockquote>
- <ul>
- <li>Merge changes from main trunk into the release candidate branch:</li>
- </ul>
- <blockquote>
- <blockquote>
- <p>Modify | Update selection... |
- Update settings | Merge options | Only this rev/tag: <code>
- merged_to_RC_1_26_2</code>
- | Plus with this rev/tag: <code>HEAD</code> | OK</p>
- </blockquote>
- </blockquote>
- <ul>
- <li>Commit merge results:</li>
- </ul>
- <blockquote>
- <blockquote>
- <p>Modify | Commit... | Enter log message: ... | OK</p>
- </blockquote>
- </blockquote>
- <ul>
- <li>Go back to main trunk:</li>
- </ul>
- <blockquote>
- <blockquote>
- <p>Modify | Update selection... | Update settings | Reset any sticky
- date/tag/-k options | OK</p>
- </blockquote>
- </blockquote>
- <ul>
- <li>Tag as new merge point:</li>
- </ul>
- <blockquote>
- <blockquote>
- <p>Modify | Create tag on selection... | Create tag settings | Enter the tag
- name to create: <code>merged_to_RC_1_26_2</code>, Overwrite existing tags
- with same name | OK.</p>
- </blockquote>
- </blockquote>
- </blockquote>
-</blockquote>
-<h2>Release Procedures for the Release <a name="Manager">Manager</a></h2>
-<p>At time of branch-for-release:</p>
-<ul>
- <li>Tag the main trunk <code>merged_to_RC_n_n_n</code>.</li>
- <li>Branch the main trunk with the tag <code>RC_n_n_n</code>.</li>
-</ul>
-<p>See Release Manager's Checklist for
-full details.</p>
-<h2><a name="FAQ">FAQ</a></h2>
-<p><b>What is the purpose of the <i><a name="merged_to_RC_n_n_n">
-merged_to_RC_n_n_n</a></i> tag?</b> This tag allows multiple merges from the
-main trunk to the release candidate branch. Without it, merging an initial main
-trunk fix into the release candidate branch would work, but merging a
-second fix from main trunk to release candidate branch would result in a merge
-conflict. Although this procedure seems convoluted, it works much better in
-practice than several prior procedures we tried.</p>

- <h3>1.34.1 (24 July 2007)</h3>
-
- <p>This is a bug fix release addressing many problems with the 1.34.0 release.
- It is a recommended upgrade for all users of Boost 1.34.0. For a complete list of fixes see
- Boost Trac.</p>
-
- <h4>Supported Compilers</h4>
-
- <p>New in this release is improved support for
- the IBM XL C/C++ compiler.</p>
-
- <p>Boost is tested on a wide range of compilers and
- platforms. Since Boost libraries rely on modern C++
- features not available in all compilers, not all
- Boost libraries will work with every compiler.
- New in this release The
- following compilers and platforms have been
- extensively tested with Boost, although many other
- compilers and platforms will work as well. For more
- information, see the <a href=

- <h4>Supported Compilers</h4>
-
- <p>Boost is tested on a wide range of compilers and
- platforms. Since Boost libraries rely on modern C++
- features not available in all compilers, not all Boost
- libraries will work with every compiler. The following
- compilers and platforms have been extensively tested with
- Boost, although many other compilers and platforms will
- work as well. For more information, see the <a href=
- "http://www.boost.org/regression/release/user/">regression

-
- <h4>New License</h4>
-
- <p>A unified <a href="license_info.html">Boost Software
- License</a> has been developed and will gradually replace
- the individual licenses for most Boost libraries. The new
- license offers better legal protection for both users and
- developers, and should speed user's legal reviews of
- Boost libraries. Dave Abrahams led the Boost effort to
- develop better licensing. The legal team was led by
- <a href=
- "http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/people/cabell/index.html">Diane
- Cabell</a>, Director, Clinical Programs, <a href=
- "http://cyber.law.harvard.edu">Berkman Center for
- Internet & Society</a>, Harvard Law School. <a href=
- "http://www.nixonpeabody.com/attorneys_detail1.asp?ID=121">
- Devin Smith</a>, attorney, <a href=
- "http://www.nixonpeabody.com/default.asp">Nixon Peabody
- LLP</a>, wrote the Boost License. Eva Chan, Harvard Law
- School, contributed analysis of issues and drafts of
- various legal documents.</p>
-
- <p><strong>Note:</strong> Many of the Boost libraries are
- still using earlier licenses, though all conform to the
- <a href="lib_guide.htm#license">Boost License
- Requirements</a>. After this release we will begin an
- effort to move toward uniform use of the new license.</p>
