     <code>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_USE_DEPRECATED</code>

+  <li>
+    Add <code>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_DECL</code> to

+<p>Compression/decompression fixes:</p>

+    Don't end the stream produced by a reading through a symmetric_filter

+  <li>
+    Fix compressing an empty string.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Allow bzip2 filters to be closed even if no input has been read
+    (#3348).
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Throw an exception on an unexpected end of file in
+    <code>bzip2_decompressor</code> instead of going into an infinite loop
+    (#2783).
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Reset the crc for zlib when we reuse a filter.

+  <li>
+    Make <code>gzip_decompressor</code> a <code>DualUseFilter</code>
+    (#1579).

+  <li>
+    Allow <code>bzip2_decompressor</code> to process multiple concatenated

+<p>Other fixes:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Make <code>aggregate_filter</code> work with wide characters

+  <li>
+    On windows, open mapped files with just read/write permissions, rather than
+    full control - which might not be available
+    (#2996).
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Make sure that <code>direct_streambuf</code> and
+    <code>indirect_streambuf</code> are reset correctly on open
+    (#4102).

+    Several documentation improvements, including
