  36   <h2 class="title">Welcome to the Boost C++ Libraries</h2>
  37
  38   <p>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.</p>
  39
  40   <p>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
  41   Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad
  42   spectrum of applications. The <a href=
  43   "http://www.boost.org/users/license.html">Boost license</a> encourages both
  44   commercial and non-commercial use.</p>
  45
  46   <p>We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
  47   implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
  48   standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the <a href=
  49   "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++ Standards Committee's</a>
  50   Library Technical Report (<a href=
  51   "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf">TR1</a>)
  52   and will be included in the upcoming revision of the C++ Standard. More
  53   Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming <a href=
  54   "http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1810.html">TR2</a>.</p>

  58   {{#unreleased_lib_count}}
  59   <p>The release includes {{unreleased_lib_count}} new libraries
  60   ({{#unreleased_libs}}{{#index}}, {{/index}}<a href="{{link}}">{{name}}</a>{{/unreleased_libs}})
  61   as well as updates to many existing libraries.
  62   {{/unreleased_lib_count}}

  68   History</a> for more information.</p>
  69
  70   <h3>Getting Started</h3>
  71
  72   <p>If Boost hasn't already been installed on your system, follow the
  73   <a href="more/getting_started/index.html">Getting Started Guide</a> to
  74   complete the installation. But if you've reached to this point by
  75   installing Boost from a Windows pre-build executable or a pre-built Linux
  76   and Unix distribution package, that's already been completed. Likewise, if
  77   you're reading this on your organization's internal web server, the
  78   installation is probably already complete.</p>
  79
  80   <h3>Contents</h3>
  81
  82   <p>The release directory tree contains almost all of Boost; documentation,
  83   sources, headers, scripts, tools, and everything else a Boost user might
  84   need!</p>
  85
  86   <h3>Library Documentation</h3>
  87
  88   <p>The starting point for the documentation of individual libraries is the
  89   <a href="libs/libraries.htm">Libraries page</a>, which gives a brief
  90   description of each library and links to its documentation.</p>
  91
  92   <h3>Web Site</h3>
  93
  94   <p>Some general interest or often changing Boost information lives only on
  95   the <a href="http://www.boost.org">Boost web site</a>. The release contains
  96   links to the site, so while browsing it you'll see occasional broken links
  97   if you aren't connected to the Internet. But everything needed to use the
  98   Boost libraries is contained within the release.</p>
  99
 100   <h3>Background</h3>
 101
 102   <p>Read the <a href="http://www.boost.org/users/">introductory material</a>
 103   to help you understand what Boost is about and to help in educating your
 104   organization about Boost.</p>
 105
 106   <h3>Community</h3>
 107
 108   <p>Boost welcomes and thrives on participation from a variety of
 109   individuals and organizations. Many avenues for participation are available
 110   in the <a href="http://www.boost.org/community/">Boost Community</a>.</p>
