Boost release 1.58.0 beta 1 is now available from SourceForge See http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.58.0.beta.1/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.58.0.beta.1/ This release contains three new libraries: • Endian: Types and conversion functions for correct byte ordering and more regardless of processor endianness. • Sort: includes spreadsort, a general-case hybrid radix sort that is faster than O(n*log(n)) • WinAPI: For details of what's in the release, see http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_58_0.html http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_58_0.html. Note that the links to files on this web page are for the final release - use the SourceForge link above to get the beta files. Please download the beta, give it a try, and report any problems you encounter. IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a bug with the build scripts; you have to specify the address-mode and architecture to b2. I used: ./b2 address-model=64 architecture=x86 (this will be fixed before the final release) Thanks, -- The Boost Release Team
