Boost 1.36 Released

Posted by kdawson on from the ain't-no-use-if-you-ain't-got-the-boost dept.

AndrewStephens writes "Good news for C++ programmers: Boost 1.36 has been released with 4 new libraries (including very useful exception templates) and a host of updates. In particular, boost.asio (the cross platform AsyncIO library) has seen major additions and now supports asynchronous disk operations on Windows. Almost every modern C++ codebase uses Boost somewhere, and many of its features find their way into the official language specifications."

    I'm merely saying, "I don't need a massively powerful library, I just need to get shit done."

    Confucius say "Man who try to get shit done without library sit on pot with nothing to read."
