Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. |

The emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard |
| 4 |
Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable |
| 5 |
across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages |
| 6 |
both commercial and non-commercial use. |

The goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference |
| 9 |
implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual |
| 10 |
standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the C++ |
| 11 |
Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) and will be in |
| 12 |
the new C++0x Standard now being finalized. C++0x will also include |
| 13 |
several more Boost libraries in addition to those from TR1. More Boost |
| 14 |
libraries are proposed for TR2. |
