Apache C++ Standard Library 4.2.0 released

October 29, 2007 -- The Apache C++ Standard Library project is
pleased to announce that the official stdcxx 4.2.0 release is
now available for download from the following location:
http://people.apache.org/dist/incuba...dcxx/releases/

For additional details see the stdcxx Download page:
http://incubator.apache.org/stdcxx/d....html#releases

The Apache C++ Standard Library is a full implementation of the
C++ Standard Library conforming to the ISO/IEC 14882:2003
international standard for the programming language C++.

4.2.0 is a "minor" release of the library that is source and
backward binary compatible with stdcxx 4.1.x. Programs linked
with 4.1.x can safely upgrade to 4.2.0 without needing to be
recompiled. Forward compatibility (i.e., the ability to
"downgrade" programs linked with stdcxx 4.2.0 to stdcxx 4.1.x)
is not guaranteed.

This release of stdcxx contains a large number of bug fixes and
a number of improvements. For a complete list of issues resolved
in this release of the project see:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure...estId=12311754

Disclaimer:

STDCXX is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator PMC. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision
making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other
successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily
a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does
indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
