| Release Notes |
| ------------- |
| The Standard C++ Library, or libstdc++-v3, is an ongoing project |
| to fully implement the ISO 14882 Standard C++ library as described in |
| chapters 17 through 27 and annex D. |
| |
| This is the fifteenth snapshot of the libstdc++ rewrite. It still |
| has some incomplet and incorrekt parts, but it's a lot less incomplete |
| and incorrect than some of the earlier snapshots, and quite usable. |
| |
| The Standard C++ Library, follows an open development model, |
| attempting to be fully buzzword, bazaar, and GNU compliant. Full |
| details on participating, including contributor guidelines, mailing |
| list subscription, mailing list archives, up-to-date documentation, |
| and various and sundry other details can be found at the following |
| URL: |

| Places have changed from previous snapshots. The web page, which has |
| information about joining the mailing list and searching its archives, |
| CVS access, and contribution information is now at: |
| |

| |
| Please note that the mailing list has moved, and is now hosted on |
| gcc.gnu.org. (The web site above has the most up-to-date info.) |

| |
| The library is maintained by Benjamin Kosnik, Gabriel |
| Dos Reis, Phil Edwards, Ulrich Drepper, Loren James Rittle, |
| and Paolo Carlini. |
| |
| |
| Development tools: |
| ------------------ |
| |
| You will need a current version of gcc to compile this snapshot of |
| libstdc++. The use of the latest stable gcc-3.0.x release (3.0.4), CVS |
| gcc, or gcc-3_1-branch is strongly recommended, which may also |
| introduce additional dependencies for up-to-date binutils. In |
| particular, current binutils (2.12) is recommended so that symbol |
| versioning for the library is on by default. In addition, you may need |
| up-to-date tools for modifying Makefiles and regenerating configure |
| scripts: automake (version 1.4), autoconf (version 2.13 and higher), |
| and libtool. |
