 [section Updated Libraries]
 
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/asio/index.html Asio]:]
+  * Reduced compile times. (Note that some programs may need to add additional
+    `#include`s, e.g. if the program uses `boost::array` but does not explicitly
+    include `<boost/array.hpp>`.)
+  * Reduced the size of generated code.
+  * Refactored `deadline_timer` implementation to improve performance.
+  * Improved multiprocessor scalability on Windows by using a dedicated hidden
+    thread to wait for timers.
+  * Improved performance of `asio::streambuf` with `async_read()` and 
+    `async_read_until()`. These read operations now use the existing capacity of
+    the `streambuf` when reading, rather than limiting the read to 512 bytes.
+  * Added optional separate compilation. To enable, add
+    `#include <boost/asio/impl/src.cpp>` to one source file in a program, then
+    build the program with `BOOST_ASIO_SEPARATE_COMPILATION` defined in the
+    project\/compiler settings. Alternatively, `BOOST_ASIO_DYN_LINK` may be
+    defined to build a separately-compiled Asio as part of a shared library.
+  * Added new macro `BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_FENCED_BLOCK` to permit the disabling of
+    memory fences around completion handlers, even if thread support is enabled.
+  * Reworked timeout examples to better illustrate typical use cases.
+  * Ensured that handler arguments are passed as `const` types.
+  * Fixed incorrect parameter order in `null_buffers` variant of `async_send_to`
+    ([@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4170 #4170]).
+  * Ensured `unsigned char` is used with `isdigit` in `getaddrinfo` emulation
+    ([@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4201 #4201]).
+  * Fixed handling of very small but non-zero timeouts
+    ([@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4205 #4205]).
+  * Fixed crash that occurred when an empty buffer sequence was passed to a
+    composed read or write operation.
+  * Added missing `operator+` overload in `buffers_iterator`
+    ([@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4382 #4382]).
+  * Implemented cancellation of `null_buffers` operations on Windows.
+
 * [phrase library..[@/libs/config/index.html Config]:]
   * Added new defect macro, `BOOST_NO_COMPLETE_VALUE_INITIALIZATION`.
   * Added new defect macro `BOOST_NO_0X_HDR_TYPEINDEX`, fixes issue [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4274 #4274].
