-    When adding libraries:
+[section News]

-    1. Libraries are listed in alphabetical order.
-    2. Besides the dedicated entry, the lib name should be added to the
-       [purpose] section at the beginning of the page.
+Support was removed from [@/libs/config/ Config] for some very old versions
+of compilers. The new minimum requirements are:

-    Example new libraries message:
+* Digitial Mars 8.41
+* GCC 3.3
+* Intel 6.0
+* Visual C++ 7.1

-* [phrase library..[@/libs/accumulators/ Accumulators]:] Framework for
-  incremental calculation, and collection of statistical accumulators, from Eric Niebler.
+Other compilers are currently unchanged, but we are considering removing
+support for some other old compilers. Candidates for removal are:

-    Example update message:
+* Metroworks C++ (i.e. codewarrior)
+* SunPro 5.7 and earlier
+* Borland C++ Builder 2006 (5.82) and earlier

-* [phrase library..[@/libs/interprocess/ Interprocess]:]
-  * Added anonymous shared memory for UNIX systems.
-  * Fixed missing move semantics on managed memory classes.
-  * Added copy_on_write and open_read_only options for shared memory
-    and mapped file managed classes.
-  * `shared_ptr` is movable and supports aliasing.
-]
+If you're using any of these, please let us know on the mailing lists.
+We will take into account any feedback received before making a decision.

 [section New Libraries]

-* /TODO/
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/predef/ Predef]:] This library defines a set of
+  compiler, architecture, operating system, library, and other version numbers
+  from the information it can gather of C, C++, Objective C, and Objective C++
+  predefined macros or those defined in generally available headers, from Rene
+  Rivera.

 [endsect]

 [section Updated Libraries]

+* [phrase library..[@/libs/accumulators/ Accumulators]:]
+  * [ticket 7915] Fix silly typos.
+  * [ticket 8850] Fix MSVC warnings.
+  * [ticket 8262] Rename `average` to `fdiv`.
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/any/ Any]:]
+  * `boost::bad_any_cast` exception is now visible across modules [ticket 8751].
+  * Added `clear()` member function.
+  * Added missing `BOOST_NOEXCEPT`.
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/asio/ Asio]:]
+  * Implemented a limited port to Windows Runtime. This support requires that the
+    language extensions be enabled. Due to the restricted facilities exposed by
+    the Windows Runtime API, the port also comes with the following caveats:
+    * The core facilities such as the `io_service`, `strand`, buffers, composed
+      operations, timers, etc., should all work as normal.
+    * For sockets, only client-side TCP is supported.
+    * Explicit binding of a client-side TCP socket is not supported.
+    * The `cancel()` function is not supported for sockets. Asynchronous
+      operations may only be cancelled by closing the socket.
+    * Operations that use `null_buffers` are not supported.
+    * Only `tcp::no_delay` and `socket_base::keep_alive` options are supported.
+    * Resolvers do not support service names, only numbers. I.e. you must
+      use "80" rather than "http".
+    * Most resolver query flags have no effect.
+  * Fixed a regression (introduced in Boost 1.54) where, on some platforms, errors
+    from `async_connect` were not correctly propagated through to the completion
+    handler ([ticket 8795]).
+  * Fixed a Windows-specific regression (introduced in Boost 1.54) that occurs when
+    multiple threads are running an `io_service`. When the bug occurs, the result
+    of an asynchronous operation (error and bytes transferred) is incorrectly
+    discarded and zero values used instead. For TCP sockets this results in
+    spurious end-of-file notifications ([ticket 8933]).
+  * Fixed a bug in handler tracking, where it was not correctly printing out some
+    handler IDs ([ticket 8808]).
+  * Fixed the comparison used to test for successful synchronous accept
+    operations so that it works correctly with unsigned socket descriptors
+    ([ticket 8752]).
+  * Ensured the signal number is correctly passed to the completion handler when
+    starting an `async_wait` on a signal that is already raised ([ticket 8738]).
+  * Suppressed a g++ 4.8+ warning about unused typedefs ([ticket 8980]).
+  * Enabled the move optimisation for handlers that use the default invocation
+    hook ([ticket 8624]).
+  * Clarified that programs must not issue overlapping `async_write_at`
+    operations ([ticket 8669]).
+  * Changed the Windows `HANDLE` backend to treat `ERROR_MORE_DATA` as a
+    non-fatal error when returned by `GetOverlappedResult` for a synchronous
+    read ([ticket 8722]).
+  * Visual C++ language extensions use `generic` as a keyword. Added a
+    workaround that renames the namespace to `cpp_generic` when those language
+    extensions are in effect.
+  * Fixed some asynchronous operations that missed out on getting `async_result`
+    support in Boost 1.54. In particular, the buffered stream templates have been
+    updated so that they adhere to current handler patterns ([ticket 9000],
+    [ticket 9001]).
+  * Enabled move support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 ([ticket 8959]).
+  * Added `use_future` support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.
+  * Removed a use of `std::min` in the Windows IOCP backend to avoid a
+    dependency on the `<algorithm>` header ([ticket 8758]).
+  * Eliminated some unnecessary handler copies.
+  * Fixed various minor and cosmetic issues in code and documentation
+    (including [ticket 8347], [ticket 8950], [ticket 8953], [ticket 8965],
+    [ticket 8997]).
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/atomic/ Atomic]:]
+  * Added support for 64-bit atomic operations on x86 target for GCC, MSVC and compatible compilers. The support is enabled when it is known at compile time that the target CPU supports required instructions.
+  * Added support for 128-bit atomic operations on x86-64 target for GCC and compatible compilers. The support is enabled when it is known at compile time that the target CPU supports required instructions. The support can be tested for with the new `BOOST_ATOMIC_INT128_LOCK_FREE` macro.
+  * Added a more efficient implementation of `atomic<>` based on GCC `__atomic*` intrinsics available since GCC 4.7.
+  * Added support for more ARM v7 CPUs, improved detection of Thumb 2.
+  * Added support for x32 (i.e. 64-bit x86 with 32-bit pointers) target on GCC and compatible compilers.
+  * Removed dependency on Boost.Thread.
+  * Internal lock pool now includes proper padding and alignment to avoid false sharing.
+  * Fixed compilation with Intel compiler on Windows. Removed internal macro duplication when compiled on Windows.
+  * Some code refactoring to use C++11 features when available.
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/chrono/ Chrono]:]
+  * ['Fixed Bugs:]
+    * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7868 #7868] `chrono_io` parses time incorrectly (1.53 and 1.52)
+    * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9028 #9028] Typo in `boost/chrono/stopwatches/formatters/base_formatter.hpp`
+    * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9147 #9147] uninitialized `std::tm`
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/circular_buffer/ Circular Buffer]:]
+  * Added support for rvalue references and rvalue references emulation
+    using Boost.Move. Values are moved only if value type has noexcept move
+    constructor and noexcept move assignment operator [ticket 7888]. Now
+    Circular Buffer is usable with move-only types.
+  * Much better documentation.
+  * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5362 #5362]
+    circular_buffer does not compile with `BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS`.
+  * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7025 #7025]
+    circular buffer reports warning: " type qualifiers ignored on function
+    return type" while compile.
+  * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7950 #7950]
+    Eliminate W4-warnings under VS2005 - warning C4913: user defined binary
+    operator ',' exists but no overload could convert all operands, default
+    built-in binary operator ',' used.
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/config/ Config]:]
+  * [*Breaking change:] Removed support for some older compilers.
+    The new minimum compiler versions are:
+    [itemized_list
+        [Digitial Mars 8.41]
+        [GCC 3.3]
+        [Intel 6.0]
+        [Visual C++ 7.1]
+    ]
+    Other compilers are unchanged.
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/container/ Container]:]
+  *  Implemented [link container.main_features.scary_iterators SCARY iterators].
+  *  Fixed bugs [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8269 #8269],
+                [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8473 #8473],

+                [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9108 #9108].
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/context/ Context]:]
+  * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8650 #8650] SSE2 intrinsics
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/coroutine/ Coroutine]:]
+  * New interface (unidirectional data transfer).
+  * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8782 #8782] no best alternative
+  * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8801 #8801] auto-linking
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/filesystem/ Filesystem]:]
+  * Fixed Android compilation [ticket 8706].
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/fusion/ Fusion]:]
+  * [ticket 8759] specialization of `convert_impl` for `map_tag`
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/geometry/index.html Geometry]:]
+  * ['Additional functionality]
+    * Added centroid for segment type
+    * Added intersects() and disjoints() for Segment-Box and Linestring-Box
+    * Added rtree creation using packing algorithm
+    * Added contains() and covers() spatial query predicates
+    * Added iterative queries
+  * ['Bugfixes]
+    * In some cases .back() or .clear() was called, violating the usage of Concepts. Fixed for the reported cases
+  * ['Solved tickets]
+    * [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6958 6958] Intersection generates self-intersection. Caused by spike, fixed
+    * [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8364 8364] Invalid input exception, caused by spikes in previous steps, fixed
+    * [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8365 8365] Invalid input exception, caused by spikes in previous steps, fixed
+    * [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8969 8969] boost::geometry::model::point single argument constructor should be explicit
+    * [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8825 8825] Patch adding member variable documentation to doxygen_xml2qbk
+    * [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8652 8652] Intersection fails for triangle-triangle intersection. Caused by spike, fixed
+    * [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9047 9047] Boost files that include themselves (strategies/intersection.hpp), fixed
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/graph/index.html Graph]:]
+  * `void` is no longer allowed as a bundled property type (for example, in the
+    VertexProperties template parameters to graph types); it did not work
+    reliably before, but a static assertion now forbids it entirely.  Use
+    `boost::no_property` instead.
+  * Added support for `finish_edge` visitor event point in depth-first search;
+    the change should be backward-compatible with visitors that do not have
+    that member function.
+  * Disabled building of tests on Sun compiler.
+  * Multiple source vertices are supported in non-named-parameter versions of
+    `breadth_first_visit`, `breadth_first_search`, `dijkstra_shortest_paths`,
+    and `dijkstra_shortest_paths_no_init`.  This feature is not yet documented;
+    to use it, replace the single parameter for the source vertex in each of
+    these functions by two input iterators of the same type containing the
+    source vertices to use.
+  * Added Hawick circuits algorithm; contributed by Louis Dionne.
+  * Added edge coloring algorithm; contributed by Maciej Piechotka.
+  * Added min-cost max-flow algorithm; contributed by Piotr Wygocki.
+  * Bugs and feature requests from Trac fixed: [ticket 5269], [ticket 8317],
+    [ticket 8433], [ticket 8791], [ticket 8877], [ticket 8986], [ticket 9012],
+    [ticket 9080].
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/hash/ Hash]:]
+  * Simplify a SFINAE check so that it will hopefully work on Sun 5.9
+    ([ticket 8822]).
+  * Suppress Visual C++ infinite loop warning ([ticket 8568]).
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/interprocess/ Interprocess]:]
+  *  Fixed bugs [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7156 #7156],
+                [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7164 #7164],
+                [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8277 #8277],
+                [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8976 #8976],
+                [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9065 #9065],
+                [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9073 #9073],
+                [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9008 #9008].
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/intrusive/ Intrusive]:]
+  *  [*Source breaking]: Deprecated `xxx_dont_splay` functions from splay containers.
+     Deprecated `splay_set_hook` from splay containers, use `bs_set_hook` instead.
+     Both will be removed in Boost 1.56.
+  *  [*ABI breaking]: Hash containers' end iterator was implemented pointing to one-past the end of the bucket array
+     (see [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8698 #8698]) causing severe bugs when values to be inserted
+     where allocated next to the bucket array. End iterator implementation was changed to point to the beginning
+     of the bucket array.
+  *  Big refactoring in order to reduce template and debug symbol bloat. Test object files have been slashed
+     to half in MSVC compilers in Debug mode. Toolchains without Identical COMDAT Folding (ICF) should notice size improvements.
+  *  Implemented [link intrusive.scary_iterators SCARY iterators].
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/conversion/lexical_cast.htm Lexical cast]:]
+  * `std::bad_alloc` exceptions are now are not converted to
+    `boost::bad_lexical_cast` [ticket 8966].
+  * Added static assert that checks for `std::numeric_limits`
+    specializations if they are required for conversion. Use `BOOST_HAS_INT128`
+    for detecting 128 bit integers support [ticket 8790].
+  * Documentation improved and more usage examples added.
+
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/log/ Log]:]
+  * General changes:
+    * Added a new configuration macro `BOOST_LOG_WITHOUT_DEFAULT_FACTORIES`. By defining this macro the user can disable compilation of the default filter and formatter factories used by settings parsers. This can substantially reduce binary sizes while still retaining support for settings parsers.
+    * Rewritten some of the parsers to reduce the compiled binary size. The rewritten parsers are more robust in detecting ambiguous and incorrect input.
+    * The following headers are deprecated: `boost/log/utility/intrusive_ref_counter.hpp`, `boost/log/utility/explicit_operator_bool.hpp`, `boost/log/utility/empty_deleter.hpp`. These headers will be removed in future releases. The contents of these headers were moved to other libraries.
+  * Bug fixes:
+    * Fixed `timer` attribute generating incorrect time readings on Windows on heavy thread contention when `QueryPerformanceCounter` API was used.

+      <pointer>,

-Thanks again.
+There was some concern that we would remove support for later compilers
+(e.g. Visual Studio 2008, aka. Visual C++ 9.0). We have no such plans,
+this change is only for very old compilers. As always support across
+Boost libraries is not uniform, but most library authors do try to
+support as wide a range of compilers as is feasible.

+    There was some concern that we would remove support for later compilers (e.g.
+    Visual Studio 2008, aka. Visual C++ 9.0). We have no such plans, this change
+    is only for very old compilers. As always support across Boost libraries is not
+    uniform, but most library authors do try to support as wide a range of compilers
+    as is feasible.
