Hi Edward,

I have added a secondary sort by library's name for libraries which have the same cxxstd value when sorting by 'C++ Minimum'.

It's up and available now here: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master?sort=cxxstd

Please let me know if you have any more feedback.

Looks great, thanks !

Thank you, Donovan

Hi Edward,

Donovan has updated the website: Remove 'Standard' field from each library info Remove 'Standard Proposals' and 'TR1 libraries' from sort categories Add 'C++ Minimum' to sort categories

Please let me know if you want any other changes.

Thank You Louis

Hello Edward,

I'm with the CPP Alliance. I'm working with Donovan to implement the Boost website changes and .'cxxstd'.

Reading the messages on the boost mailing list, we see some changes requested and some asking not to implement the change. Can be a bit confusing on what is needed or wanted.

Can we get a list of changes requested on the current implementation?

The initial change has been done correctly, which is to provide a "C++ standard minimum level" display field for each library which has its JSON field of "cxxstd" set to some value. I also have agreed with Peter Dimov's remark, which was also suggested earlier in this thread, that the "Standard" display field for each library should be removed, since it's meaning is obsolete and now also confusing. I have also suggested that if we are removing the "Standard" display field we should also remove the "Standard Proposals" and "TR1 libraries" sort categories, which are likewise obsolete.

I personally think that since we now have a "C++ standard minimum level" display field it would also be nice to be able to have a sort category based on that display field called, let's say, "C++ Minimum".

Thank You Louis

Looking at this, I think that we need to drop the "Standard" part.

It's

mostly empty, the places it says things like "TR1" aren't helpful, and it's easy to misinterpret it as the minimum required C++ level.

I fully agree. Also the top line which give different views of the library documentation can probably drop the "Standard Proposals" and "TR1 libraries" views, since these are really obsolete by now.
