Release Notes

1.35

1. The semantics of close has been modified:

Calling close with a std::ios_base::openmode other than in or out is deprecated.
A new overload of close taking a single Device argument has been provided as a convenience.
DualUseFilters receive only one closure notification.
Generic streams and stream buffers and filtering streams and stream buffers are now Closable. For filtering streams and stream buffers, close calls pop.

These changes will break some existing code. They were necessary to resolve inconsistencies in the prior specification that resulted in a number of reported bugs.

2. The function template slice has been introduced as an alias of restrict, for platforms that treat restrict as a keyword.

3. Numerous bugs have been fixed, many relating to close, copy, and file descriptors.
