[website] Libraries list FYI...
I have a "static" version of the libraries list which uses the single XML data file: <http://boost.redshift-software.com/doc/libs> Along with the individual versioned lists on the menu. Some issues and missing parts: * Some libs for 1.34 don't have an entry in current libraries.htm, so they don't have data in this list. As soon as someone updates those it can be added. * The sorting by the individual fields is not implemented, that's next. * Hopefully I got the correct version for all libraries, but if not bug me about it. * The standard/tr1 and header-only/autolink info I did not fill in. If people can point out the correct info that would be wonderful :-) * Better descriptions for all the libs would be really awesome ;-) * More fields as need arises. Lastly the XML file is at <http://boost.redshift-software.com/libraries.xml> and in CVS of course. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo

It looks useful!

I'm looking forward to seeing that... How about a link to the regression tests for that library. I think they can be generated from the name / boost version so there's not much work required to get a useful result. For instance the url for bind is http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_33_0/user/bind.ht... BTW Its a shame the actual regression test files are so Big. e.g serialisation is 3.2 Mb .. most of which seems to consist of the text <td class="library-success-expected user-library-success-expected" Use of JavaScript for that sort of boilerplate, rather than raw HTML, could get the file size down to %15 of that, which would save a lot of bandwidth and speed everyones life up I would guess.
<http://boost.redshift-software.com/libraries.xml> and in CVS of course.
Whats the usual mechanism for querying/ updating xml files? Can it do SQL? regards Andy Little
Hi Rene & Andy,

Seconded! But even without such links the list is useful, IMO. Regards, -- Andreas Huber When replying by private email, please remove the words spam and trap from the address shown in the header.

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. regards Andy Little

Vintage is also used as an adjective, and suggests "antique." Maybe "minted" or something would be better? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

I'm not native English speaker. At the first sight when a newbie visits this page it seems to be easier to read/mind the word "available" - but yes it evokes something what will be available in the future. "vintage" is not bad because it resembles something unique something what he/she should remember. But if I can suggest something then it is "version", it's obvious and easy to understand. On the other hand I would change "Author(s)" to "Booster(s)" - it reminds people who boost std:: at least to me:) But maybe in English it is not possible.
