Hi all, The mini-review of Andy Tompkins UUID library starts today, November 23rd 2008, and will end on November 30th. I really hope to see your vote and your participation in the discussions on the Boost mailing lists! The library can be downloaded from the vault here (it's the file uuid_v13.zip in the topmost directory): http://tinyurl.com/6xx28b The initial review of the UUID library ended with a provisional acceptance (read here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/27774/). This mini review is meant to allow for a final decision after looking at the changed parts of the library. Here is a list of things fixed and changed: - fixed the licensing issues revealed by the initial review - fixed the security vulnerability revealed by the initial review - renamed to uuid, moved all classes, functions, etc. to namespace boost::uuids - implemented sha1 hash function (thus no license problem) - new class basic_uuid_generator to create random-based uuids. The random number generator is no longer hard coded. It can use any random number generator, default is boost::mt19937 - implemented a good seed function for random number generators - all functions are now reentrant, all classes are as thread safe as an int and the library is no longer dependent on Boost.Thread --------------------------------------------------- Please always state in your review, whether you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library! Additionally please consider giving feedback on the following general topics: - What is your evaluation of the design? - What is your evaluation of the implementation? - What is your evaluation of the documentation? - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?
