<h1>Welcome to Boost.org!</h1>

<p>The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.

Library.</p>

<p> <a href="libs/libraries.htm">Libraries</a> gives a one line overview of
|
||
each library.

releases.

formal reviews of proposed libraries. Discussions can be received via email in summary or in full, or

<p>For mailing list members only, preliminary libraries under discussion are

available from the YahooGroups <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/files/boost/">Files

<h2><a name="Rationale">Rationale</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Boost was begun by members of the <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++
|
||
Standards Committee</a> Library Working Group to provide free peer-reviewed
|
||
portable libraries to the C++ community. An additional objective is to
|
||
establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so
|
||
that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. The intent is to propose many of these libraries for inclusion in the
|
||
upcoming C++
|
||
Standard Library Technical Report.</p>
