<h4>Supported Compilers</h4>
<p>Boost is tested on a wide range of compilers and
platforms. Since Boost libraries rely on modern C++
features not available in all compilers, not all
Boost libraries will work with every compiler. The
following compilers and platforms have been
extensively tested with Boost, although many other
compilers and platforms will work as well. For more
information, see the <a href=
"http://www.boost.org/regression/release/user/">regression
test results</a>.</p>
<p><b>New for this release</b>: Support for building
with the newest STLport-5.0 was added. The support
includes building with MinGW Runtime 3.8 plus
STLport-5.0 improved to support wide character
operations. Apple GCC 4.0, HP Tru64 C++, and
Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 are supported platforms. We
have added an experimental autoconf-like
<code>configure</code> script for Unix-like systems:
run <code>configure --help</code> for more
information.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://developer.apple.com/">Apple
GCC</a> 3.3, 4.0 on Mac OS X.</li>
<li><a href=

<li><a href=

Visual C++</a> 6.0 (sp5, with and without STLport),
7.0, 7.1, 8.0. Note: Boost does not support the
non-standard "Safe" C++ Library shipping with
Visual C++ 8.0, which may result in many spurious
warnings from Boost headers and other
standards-conforming C++ code. To suppress these
warnings, define the macro
<code>_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE</code>.</li>

<h4>Regression tests</h4>
<p>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 <a href=
"http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost-regression/1_32_0/index.html">
regression reports</a> to see how well your compiler
performs on the new Boost codebase.</p>

<h3>1.31.0 (26 Jan 2004)</h3>
<h4>New License</h4>
<p>A unified <a href="license_info.html">Boost Software
License</a> has been developed and will gradually replace
the individual licenses for most Boost libraries. The new
license offers better legal protection for both users and
developers, and should speed user's legal reviews of
Boost libraries. Dave Abrahams led the Boost effort to
develop better licensing. The legal team was led by
<a href=
"http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/people/cabell/index.html">Diane
Cabell</a>, Director, Clinical Programs, <a href=
"http://cyber.law.harvard.edu">Berkman Center for
Internet &amp; Society</a>, Harvard Law School. <a href=
"http://www.nixonpeabody.com/attorneys_detail1.asp?ID=121">
Devin Smith</a>, attorney, <a href=
"http://www.nixonpeabody.com/default.asp">Nixon Peabody
LLP</a>, wrote the Boost License. Eva Chan, Harvard Law
School, contributed analysis of issues and drafts of
various legal documents.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Many of the Boost libraries are
still using earlier licenses, though all conform to the
<a href="lib_guide.htm#license">Boost License
Requirements</a>. After this release we will begin an
effort to move toward uniform use of the new license.</p>
<h4>Build and Installation</h4>
<ul>
