• Iterator Adaptor Library added. Adapt a base type into a standard conforming iterator, and more, from Dave Abrahams, Jeremy Siek, and John Potter.
• Pool Library added. Memory pool management from Steve Cleary.
• Test Library added. Support for program testing and execution from Beman Dawes.
• Generic Programming Techniques page added, contributed by Dave Abrahams.
• Graph Library: Updated use of iterator adaptors. Changed operator == for adjacency_list::edge_descriptor to improve semantics for multigraphs. Moved adjacency_iterator_generator from namespace detail to boost and added documentation. Renamed dynamic_components() to incremental_components(), better matching graph literature terminology. Cleaned up interface of connected_components() and created separate strong_components() function using Tarjan's more efficient algorithm. Fixed documentation figures for adjacency_list and adjacency_matrix. Added docs for cuthill_mckee_ordering() algorithm.
• Python Library upgraded. Better compatibility with Python 2.0, NULL pointers and smart-pointers get converted to/from python None, massive documentation review/revision.
• Regular Expression Library: Minor fixes for Unicode platforms.
• Type Traits Library upgraded: Major revision.
