Any Library: Cast to reference types introduced in 1.33.0 is now documented on
any_cast documentation page.
Config Library: Don't undef BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET after use.
Boost.Python:
* The build now assumes Python 2.4 by default, rather than 2.2
* Support Python that's built without Unicode support
* Support for wrapping classes with overloaded address-of (&) operators
Smart Pointer Library: Fixed problems under Metrowerks CodeWarrior on PowerPC
(Mac OS X) with inlining on, GNU GCC on PowerPC 64.
Regex Library: Fixed the supplied makefiles, and other small compiler specific
changes. Refer to the regex history page for more information on these and
other small changes.
Iostreams Library: Improved the interface for accessing a chain's components,
added is_open members to the file and file descriptor devices, fixed
memory-mapped files on Windows, and made minor changes to the documentation.
Functional/Hash Library: Fixed the points example.
Multi-index Containers Library: Fixed a problem with multithreaded code, and
other minor changes. Refer to the library release notes for further details.
Graph Library:
* Fixed a problem with the relaxed heap on x86 Linux (fixes bug in
dijkstra_shortest_paths).
* Fixed problems with cuthill_mckee_ordering and king_ordering producing no
results.
* Added color_map parameter to dijkstra_shortest_paths.
Signals Library: Fixed problems with the use of Signals across shared library
boundaries.
Thread library: read_write_mutex has been removed due to problems with
deadlocks. Wave library (V1.2.1) Fixed a couple of problems, refer to the
change log for further details.
(a) bjam should be consistent with the rest of the world, the OS is
called DragonFly, not DragonFlyBSD. It might be _annoying_, but it is
a fact of live and no spelling fault can avoid it.
(b) disable the compiler thread support checks, they don't really work
and are not needed anyway.
(c) DragonFly has wchar and ctype functions, so use them.
Bump revisions of boost-build (bjam), boost-headers (well, they changed)
and boost-libs.
- Drop devel/boost and devel/boost-thread.
- Add devel/boost-docs which includes all the documentation related to Boost
(previously included in devel/boost).
- Add devel/boost-build which includes bjam, the Boost.Build framework.
- Add devel/boost-headers which includes all the header files needed at build
time by programs using Boost (previously included in devel/boost).
- Add devel/boost-libs which includes all the binary libraries needed at build
and run time by programs using Boost (previously included in devel/boost and
devel/thread). All of them are multithreaded, to make things easier.
- devel/boost-python includes the Boost Python library (as it did before), but
now works, given that everything is threaded again.
- Drop our thread_user.hpp customization. Avoids some build failures that
appeared when the previous boost-thread package was not installed.
- Use static PLISTs.
- Install unversioned files. Makes things *a lot* easier when building stuff
outside pkgsrc.
- Add meta-pkgs/boost, a meta package that depends on all of the above.

While here, update to 1.32.0:
New Toolset Names
The names of some the Boost.Build toolsets have been changed to remove the "."
(dot) character and to fix some other naming inconsistencies. For example,
vc7.1 toolset was renamed to become vc-7_1. Please refer to the Supported
Toolsets section of the installation guide for the complete list of the current
toolset names. This change was made as a part of the effort to make the Boost
distribution compatible with ISO 9660 level 2 requirements.
New Libraries
* Assignment Library: Filling containers with constant or generated data
has never been easier, from Thorsten Ottosen.
* Minmax Library: Standard library extensions for simultaneous min/max and
min/max element computations, from Hervé Brönnimann.
* Multi-index Containers Library: Containers with multiple STL-compatible
access interfaces, from Joaquín M López Muñoz.
* Numeric Conversion Library: Optimized policy-based numeric conversions,
from Fernando Cacciola.
* Program Options Library: Access to configuration data given on command
line, in config files and other sources, from Vladimir Prus.
* Range Library: A new infrastructure for generic algorithms that builds
on top of the new iterator concepts, from Thorsten Ottosen.
* Serialization Library: Serialization/de-serialization of arbitrary C++
data structures to various formats including text, binary, and xml, from
Robert Ramey.
* String Algorithms Library: Collection of string related algorithms for
case conversion, trimming, find/replace operations and more, from Pavol
Droba.
* Tribool: 3-state boolean type library, from Doug Gregor.
Updated Libraries
* Compose: This deprecated library has been removed.
* Graph:
o Added bundled properties to the adjacency_list and adjacency_matrix
class templates, greatly simplifying the introduction of internal
vertex and edge properties.
o The LEDA graph adaptors have been ported to LEDA 4.5.
o Added algorithms for betweenness centrality and betweenness
centrality clustering.
o Added circle layout and undirected spring layout algorithms.
* MPL Library:
o Updated to use the Boost Software License.
o New documentation, including a complete reference manual.
o Major interface changes and improvements, many of which are not
backward compatible. Please refer to the 1.32 changelog for the
detailed information about upgrading to the new version.
* Python Library:
o Updated to use the Boost Software License.
o A new, better method of wrapping classes with virtual functions
has been implemented.
o Support for the new Python Bool type, thanks to Daniel Holth.
o Support for upcoming GCC symbol export control features have been
folded in, thanks to Niall Douglas.
o Improved support for std::auto_ptr-like types.
o Components used by other libraries have been moved out of
python/detail and into boost/detail to improve dependency
relationships.
o Miscellaneous bug fixes and compiler workarounds.
* Signals Library: Introduced deterministic slot ordering, permitting
slots to be connected at the beginning or end of slot groups or the slot
list itself. Combiners may safely have state and are accessible from the
signal.
* Utility: class template result_of added.
* Test Library:
o namespace names gets shorten; old one still supported till next
release
o added proper encoding of XML PCDATA
o support for wide string comparison implemented
For complete list of changes see Test Library release notes.
Regression tests
This release has been extensively tested on a variety of different compilers
and platforms. It is known to contain no regressions against the previous
reference release on the compilers and configurations tested. Please refer to
the corresponding regression reports to see how well your compiler performs on
the new Boost codebase.
