Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable +across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages +both commercial and non-commercial use. + +The goal is 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 C++ +Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) and will be in +the new C++0x Standard now being finalized. C++0x will also include +several more Boost libraries in addition to those from TR1. More Boost +libraries are proposed for TR2. + +WWW: http://www.boost.org/ |
