Add
rolling_sum
,rolling_count
androlling_mean
accumulators.
-
-
Asio:
-
Improved compatibility with some Windows firewall software.
-
Ensured arguments to
windows::overlapped_ptr::complete()
are correctly passed to the completion handler (#2614). -
Fixed a compile error in SSL support on MinGW / g++ 3.4.5.
-
Drop back to using a pipe for notification if eventfd is not available at runtime on Linux (#2683).
-
-
Config:
-
Add new macros BOOST_NO_STD_UNORDERED and BOOST_NO_INITIALIZER_LISTS.
-
Added Codegear compiler support.
-
Added Dragonfly to the BSD family of configs.
-
Updated MSVC's binary ABI settings to match compiler default when doing 64-bit builds.
-
Recognise latest compilers from MS and Intel.
-
-
Date_Time:
-
Added support for formatting and reading time durations longer than 24 hours with new formatter:
%0
. -
Removed the
testfrmwk.hpp
file from the public include directory. -
Fixed several bugs and compile errors.
-

-
-
Exception:
-
Improved and more customizable diagnostic_information output.
-
-
Hash:
-
boost/functional/detail/container_fwd.hpp
has been moved toboost/detail/container_fwd.hpp
. The current location is deprecated. -
For more detail, see the library changelog.
-
-
Interprocess:
-
Updated documentation to show rvalue-references functions instead of emulation functions.
-
More non-copyable classes are now movable.
-
Move-constructor and assignments now leave moved object in default-constructed state instead of just swapping contents.
-
-
Intrusive:
-
New treap-based containers: treap, treap_set, treap_multiset.
-
Corrected compilation bug for Windows-based 64 bit compilers.
-
Corrected exception-safety bugs in container constructors.
-
Updated documentation to show rvalue-references functions instead of emulation functions.
-
-
Lexical Cast:
-
Changed to work without RTTI when
BOOST_NO_TYPEID
is defined (#1220).
-
-
Multi-index Containers: Some redundant type definitions have been deprecated. Consult the library release notes for further information.
-
Proto:
-
Fix problem with SFINAE of binary operators (Bug 2407).
-
Fix
proto::call
transform for callable transforms with >3 arguments. -
result_of::value
changed behavior for array-by-value terminals. -
unpack_expr
requires only Forward Sequences rather than Random Access Sequences. -
Deprecate legacy undocumented
BOOST_PROTO_DEFINE_(VARARG_)FUNCTION_TEMPLATE
macros. -
Add
BOOST_PROTO_REPEAT
andBOOST_PROTO_LOCAL_ITERATE
macros to help with repetitive code generation -
Support for nullary expressions with tag types other than
proto::tag::terminal
-
Allow 0- and 1-argument variants of
proto::or_
andproto::and_
-
-
Regex:
-
Breaking change: empty expressions, and empty alternatives are now allowed when using the Perl regular expression syntax. This change has been added for Perl compatibility, when the new
syntax_option_type
no_empty_expressions is set then the old behaviour is preserved and empty expressions are prohibited. This is issue #1081. -
Added support for Perl style ${n} expressions in format strings (issue #2556).
-
Added support for accessing the location of sub-expressions within the regular expression string (issue #2269).
-
-
Thread:
-
No longer catches unhandled exceptions in threads as this debuggers couldn't identify the cause of unhandled exceptions in threads. An unhandled exception will still cause the application to terminate.
-
-
TR1:
-
Added support for the TR1 math functions and the unordered containers.
-
-
Type Traits:
-
Added support for Codegear intrinsics.
-
Minor tweaks to warning suppression and alignment_of code.
-
-
Unordered:
-
Use
boost::swap
. -
Use a larger prime number list for selecting the number of buckets.
-
Use aligned storage to store the types.
-
Add support for C++0x initializer lists where they're available.
-
For more detail, see the library changelog.
-
-
Xpressive:
-
basic_regex
gets nestedsyntax_option_flags
andvalue_type
typedef, for compatibility withstd::basic_regex
-
Ported to Proto v4; Proto v2 at boost/xpressive/proto has been removed.
-
regex_error
inherits fromboost::exception
-
Other Changes
-
Experimental support for building Boost with CMake has been introduced in this version. For more details see the wiki, Discussion is taking place on the Boost-cmake mailing list.
-
Fixed subversion properties for several files. Most notably, unix shell scripts should always have unix line endings, even in the windows packages.
