Hi All, I have a new version of Boost.Application! In this release all requested features that boost users suggested (in boost user group) are addressed, based on release 1 and release 2, including: 1) Provide more "Boost Way" interface 2) Use Boost.Parameter to give flexibility for future extensions. 3) Access and change environment variables. 4) Simple class (shared_library) to allow use of dynamic libs as plug-in (extending application). 5) Wide string support (Windows). 6) Use Boost.System on Error Handling 7) Setup module for windows service installation. To install, download file: https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boostapp/Boost.Application_beta_3a .zip?r=https%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fboostapp%2F&ts=1379614495& use_mirror=master or https://sourceforge.net/projects/boostapp/files/ and copy application to your boost installation folder! You don't need build it, the lib is header only, but have some dependences. The documentation is still pretty bad, but it is the right place for you to start with lib! Please, send your questions, to: re.tf@acm.org Thanks -- Renato
