+
+ <p>For libraries that are still waiting to get into SVN, please
+ get them ready and into the repository. The developers did some

+ share that work with others. Also notice that the review

+ responsibilities of library submitters.</p>
+
+ <p>For the Scope Exit review, we would like to publicly
+ apologize to Alexander Nasonov for how long this has languished
+ without a report. The review wizards will work to make sure
+ this doesn't happen any more.</p>

+ <p>As always, we need experienced review managers. In the past
+ few months there have been a large number of reviews, but the
+ flow of high quality submissions is just as big, so manage
+ reviews if possible and if not please make sure to watch the
+ review schedule and participate. Please take a look at the list
+ of libraries in need of managers and check out their
+ descriptions. In general review managers are active boost
+ participants or library contributors. If you can serve as
+ review manager for any of them, email Ron Garcia or John
+ Phillips, "garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu" and "phillips at
+ mps dot ohio-state dot edu" respectively.</p>
+
+ <p>A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org. If
+ you would like us to make any modifications or additions to
+ this report before we do that, please email Ron or John.</p>
+
+ <p>If you're a library author and plan on submitting a library
+ for review in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or John a short
+ description of your library and we'll add it to the Libraries
+ Under Construction below. We know that there are many libraries
+ that are near completion, but we have hard time keeping track
+ all of them. Please keep us informed about your progress.</p>

+
+ <p>A typical procedure for working with promises and
+ futures looks like:</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <ul class="simple">
+ <li>control thread creates a promise,</li>
+
+ <li>control thread gets associated future from
+ promise,</li>
+
+ <li>control thread starts sub-thread,</li>
+
+ <li>sub-thread calls actual function and assigns
+ the return value to the promise,</li>
+
+ <li>control thread waits for future to become
+ ready,</li>
+
+ <li>control thread retrieves value from
+ future.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>Also proposed is a packaged_task that wraps one
+ callable object and provides another one that can be
+ started in its own thread and assigns the return
+ value (or exception) to a return buffer that can be
+ accessed through one of the future classes.</p>
+
+ <p>With a packaged_task a typical procedure looks
+ like:</p>
+
+ <blockquote class="last">
+ <ul class="simple">
+ <li>control thread creates a packaged_task with a
+ callable object,</li>
+
+ <li>control thread gets associated future from
+ packaged_task,</li>
+
+ <li>control thread starts sub-thread, which
+ invokes the packaged_task,</li>
+
+ <li>packaged_task calls the callable function and
+ assigns the return value,</li>
+
+ <li>control thread waits for future to become
+ ready,</li>
+
+ <li>control thread retrieves value from
+ future.</li>
+ </ul>

+ applications. It follows Comega's design and
+ implementation and builds with Boost facilities. It
+ provides a high level concurrency API with asynchronous
+ methods, synchronous methods, and chords which are
+ "join-patterns" defining the synchronization,
