5 kx <h2 class="title">Welcome to the Boost C++ Libraries</h2>
5 kx
5 kx <p>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.</p>
5 kx
5 kx <p>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
5 kx Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad
5 kx spectrum of applications. The <a href=
5 kx "https://www.boost.org/users/license.html">Boost license</a> encourages both
5 kx commercial and non-commercial use.</p>
5 kx
5 kx <p>We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
5 kx implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
5 kx standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the <a href=
5 kx "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++ Standards Committee's</a>
5 kx Library Technical Report (<a href=
5 kx "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf">TR1</a>)
5 kx and will be included in the upcoming revision of the C++ Standard. More
5 kx Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming <a href=
5 kx "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1810.html">TR2</a>.</p>

5 kx <h3>Changes in this release</h3>
5 kx
5 kx <p>
5 kx
5 kx Boost 1.77
5 kx includes 3 new
5 kx libraries
5 kx
5 kx (<a href="https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/@BOOST_VERSION@/libs/describe/index.html">Describe</a>, <a href="https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/@BOOST_VERSION@/libs/lambda2/index.html">Lambda2</a>, <a href="https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/@BOOST_VERSION@/libs/property_map_parallel/index.html">Property Map (Parallel)</a>)
5 kx as well as updates to many existing libraries.
5 kx See
5 kx <a href="https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_@BOOST_VERSION@.html">Release
5 kx History</a> for more information.</p>
5 kx
5 kx <h3>Getting Started</h3>
5 kx
5 kx <p>If Boost hasn't already been installed on your system, follow the
5 kx <a href="https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/@BOOST_VERSION@/more/getting_started/index.html">Getting Started Guide</a> to
5 kx complete the installation. But if you've reached to this point by
5 kx installing Boost from a Windows pre-build executable or a pre-built Linux
5 kx and Unix distribution package, that's already been completed. Likewise, if
5 kx you're reading this on your organization's internal web server, the
5 kx installation is probably already complete.</p>
5 kx
5 kx <h3>Contents</h3>
5 kx
5 kx <p>The release directory tree contains almost all of Boost; documentation,
5 kx sources, headers, scripts, tools, and everything else a Boost user might
5 kx need!</p>
5 kx
5 kx <h3>Library Documentation</h3>
5 kx
5 kx <p>The starting point for the documentation of individual libraries is the
5 kx <a href="https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/@BOOST_VERSION@/libs/libraries.htm">Libraries page</a>, which gives a brief
5 kx description of each library and links to its documentation.</p>
5 kx
5 kx <h3>Web Site</h3>
5 kx
5 kx <p>Some general interest or often changing Boost information lives only on
5 kx the <a href="https://www.boost.org">Boost web site</a>. The release contains
5 kx links to the site, so while browsing it you'll see occasional broken links
5 kx if you aren't connected to the Internet. But everything needed to use the
5 kx Boost libraries is contained within the release.</p>
5 kx
5 kx <h3>Background</h3>
5 kx
5 kx <p>Read the <a href="https://www.boost.org/users/">introductory material</a>
5 kx to help you understand what Boost is about and to help in educating your
5 kx organization about Boost.</p>
5 kx
5 kx <h3>Community</h3>
5 kx
5 kx <p>Boost welcomes and thrives on participation from a variety of
5 kx individuals and organizations. Many avenues for participation are available
5 kx in the <a href="https://www.boost.org/community/">Boost Community</a>.</p>
