<h2 class="title">Welcome to the Boost C++ Libraries</h2>
<p>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.</p>
<p>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad
spectrum of applications. The <a href=
"http://www.boost.org/users/license.html">Boost license</a> encourages both
commercial and non-commercial use.</p>
<p>We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the <a href=
"http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++ Standards Committee's</a>
Library Technical Report (<a href=
"http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf">TR1</a>)
and will be included in the upcoming revision of the C++ Standard. More
Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming <a href=
"http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1810.html">TR2</a>.</p>
<h3>Changes in this release</h3>
<p>This release includes 3 new libraries
(<a href="libs/container/index.html">Container</a>,
<a href="libs/locale/index.html">Locale</a> and
<a href="libs/move/index.html">Move</a>),
<a href=
"libs/type_traits/doc/html/boost_typetraits/category/value_traits/operators.html"
>an extension to TypeTraits to support operator detection</a>
as well as updates to many existing libraries. See
<a href="http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_48_0">Release
History</a> for more information.</p>
<h3>Getting Started</h3>
<p>If Boost hasn't already been installed on your system, follow the
<a href="more/getting_started/index.html">Getting Started Guide</a> to
complete the installation. But if you've reached to this point by
installing Boost from a Windows pre-build executable or a pre-built Linux
and Unix distribution package, that's already been completed. Likewise, if
you're reading this on your organization's internal web server, the
installation is probably already complete.</p>
<h3>Contents</h3>
<p>The release directory tree contains almost all of Boost; documentation,
sources, headers, scripts, tools, and everything else a Boost user might
need!</p>
<h3>Library Documentation</h3>
<p>The starting point for the documentation of individual libraries is the
<a href="libs/libraries.htm">Libraries page</a>, which gives a brief
description of each library and links to its documentation.</p>
<h3>Web Site</h3>
<p>Some general interest or often changing Boost information lives only on
the <a href="http://www.boost.org">Boost web site</a>. The release contains
links to the site, so while browsing it you'll see occasional broken links
if you aren't connected to the Internet. But everything needed to use the
Boost libraries is contained within the release.</p>
<h3>Background</h3>
<p>Read the <a href="http://www.boost.org/users/">introductory material</a>
to help you understand what Boost is about and to help in educating your
organization about Boost.</p>
<h3>Community</h3>
<p>Boost welcomes and thrives on participation from a variety of
individuals and organizations. Many avenues for participation are available
in the <a href="http://www.boost.org/community/">Boost Community</a>.</p>
