I have a "static" version of the libraries list which uses the single XML data file:

<http://boost.redshift-software.com/doc/libs>

No doubt the web page has moved on... but the 'available' field looks like a bit like a date and somehow suggests the library was/will be available on that date. A good alternative word might be 'vintage' . Among other references the Shorter Oxford english dictionary defines vintage as:

" Used with reference to the age or year of a good wine, usually connoting one of good or outstanding quality. "

... which seems to have a certain ring about it.

How about "First released"? The problem with "available" (and "vintage") is that there is a hint that the library was LAST available as of that release. -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner@Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 203894
