+March 22, 2006 -- Asio Accepted +Announcement: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/03/102287.php
+February 17, 2006 - Shared Memory Library Accepted +Announcement: http://lists.boost.org/boost-announce/2006/02/0083.php

+We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at +the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their +descriptions. If you can serve as review manager for any of +them, email Ron Garcia or Tom Brinkman "garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu" +and "reportbase at gmail dot com" respectively.
+A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org. +If you would like us to make any modifications or additions to this +report before we do that, please email Ron or Tom.
+If you're library author and plan on submitting a library for review +in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or Tom a +short description of your library and we'll add it to the +Libraries Under Construction below. We know that there are many +libaries that are near completion, but we have hard time keeping +track all of them. Please keep us informed about your progress.

++ + + + Author: Tobias Schwinger ++ Review Manager: Tom Brinkman ++ Download: http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/vault/ ++ + Description: + This library provides a metaprogramming facility to classify, +decompose and synthesize function-, function pointer-, function +reference- and member function pointer types. For the purpose of +this documentation, these types are collectively referred to as +function types (this differs from the standard definition and +redefines the term from a programmer's perspective to refer to +the most common types that involve functions).
+The classes introduced by this library shall conform to the +concepts of the Boost Metaprogramming library (MPL).
++
+- The Function Types library enables the user to:
+- +
+
+- test an arbitrary type for being a function type of specified kind,
+- inspect properties of function types,
+- view and modify sub types of an encapsulated function type with +MPL Sequence operations, and
+- synthesize function types.
+This library supports variadic functions and can be configured +to support non-default calling conventions.

+Alexander tried it on different compilers with various success: +GNU/Linux (gentoo-hardened): gcc 3.3 and 3.4, Intel 7, 8 and 9 +Windows: VC7 free compiler +Sparc Solaris: Sun C++ 5.3 and 5.7
+See comments at the beginning of +promote_enum_test.cpp for what is broken.

++ + + + Author: Olaf Krzikalla ++ Review Manager: Thorsten Ottosen ++ Download: http://people.freenet.de/turtle++/intrusive.zip ++ + Description: While intrusive containers were and are widely used in C, they became +more and more forgotten in the C++-world due to the presence of the +standard containers, which don't support intrusive +techniques. Boost.Intrusive not only reintroduces this technique to +C++, but also encapsulates the implementation in STL-like +interfaces. Hence anyone familiar with standard containers can use +intrusive containers with ease. +

++ + + + Author: Joel de Guzman ++ Review Manager: Ron Garcia ++ Download: http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/fusion_v2/ +http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/fusion_v2.zip ++ + Description: + Fusion is a library of heterogenous containers and views and +algorithms. A set of heterogenous containers (vector, list, set and +map) is provided out of the box along with view classes that present +various composable views over the data. The containers and views +follow a common sequence concept with an underlying iterator concept +that binds it all together, suitably making the algorithms fully +generic over all sequence types.
+The architecture is somewhat modeled after MPL which in turn is +modeled after STL. It is code-named "fusion" because the library is +the "fusion" of compile time metaprogramming with runtime programming.

++ + + + Author: Asger Mangaard ++ Review Manager: Need Volunteer ++ Download: Boost Sandbox (http://boost-consulting.com/vault/) under pimpl_ptr. ++ + Description: The pimpl idiom is widely used to reduce compile times and disable +code coupling. It does so by moving private parts of a class from the +.hpp file to the .cpp file. +However, it's implementation can be tricky, and with many pitfalls +(especially regarding memory management). +The pimpl_ptr library is a single header file, implementing a special +policy based smart pointer to greately ease the implementation of the +pimpl idiom. +

++ + + + Author: Marcin Kalicinski ++ Review Manager: Need Volunteer ++ Download: Boost Sandbox Vault - property_tree_rev4.zip +http://kaalus.atspace.com/ptree ++ + Description: Property tree is a data structure - a tree of (key, value) +pairs. It differs from its cousin, "usual" property map, because +it is hierarchical, not linear. Thus, it is more like a +minimalistic Document Object Model, but not bound to any +specific file format. It can store contents of XML files, +windows registry, JSON files, INI files, even command line +parameters. The library contains parsers for all these formats, +and more. +

++ + + + Author: Andy Little ++ Review Manager: Need Volunteer ++ Download: http://tinyurl.com/7m5l8 ++ + Description: PQS (Physical Quantities System) is used for modelling +physical-quantities in C++ programs. The advantages over using +built-in types in the role include: trapping errors in +dimensional analysis, detailed semantic specifications for +reliable and repeatable conversions between units and +self-documentation of source code. PQS is based around the +principles and guidelines of the International System of Units +(SI). The library predefines a large number of quantities, +physical and maths constants using a common syntax. The library +also includes (or will soon include) classes for manipulating +quantities algebraically, for example angles (radians, +steradians, degrees,minutes,seconds) and vectors, matrices and +quaternions for more advanced modelling of physical systems. +
