Review Version

Initial review version, for the review conducted from 7th December 2007 to 16th December 2007.

1.35.0 Add-on - 31st March 2008

Unofficial release uploaded to vault, to be used with Boost 1.35.0. Incorporated many of the suggestions from the review.

  • Improved portability thanks to Boost regression testing.
  • Fix lots of typos, and clearer text in the documentation.
  • Fix floating point to std::size_t conversion when calculating sizes from the max load factor, and use double in the calculation for greater accuracy.
  • Fix some errors in the examples.

Boost 1.36.0

First official release.

  • Rearrange the internals.
  • Move semantics - full support when rvalue references are available, emulated using a cut down version of the Adobe move library when they are not.
  • Emplace support when rvalue references and variadic template are available.
  • More efficient node allocation when rvalue references and variadic template are available.
  • Added equality operators.

Boost 1.37.0

  • Rename overload of emplace with hint, to emplace_hint as specified in n2691.
  • Provide forwarding headers at <boost/unordered/unordered_map_fwd.hpp> and <boost/unordered/unordered_set_fwd.hpp>.
  • Move all the implementation inside boost/unordered, to assist modularization and hopefully make it easier to track changes in subversion.

Boost 1.38.0

  • Use boost::swap.
  • Ticket 2237: Document that the equality and inequality operators are undefined for two objects if their equality predicates aren't equivalent. Thanks to Daniel Krügler.
  • Ticket 1710: Use a larger prime number list. Thanks to Thorsten Ottosen and Hervé Brönnimann.
  • Use aligned storage to store the types. This changes the way the allocator is used to construct nodes. It used to construct the node with two calls to the allocator's construct method - once for the pointers and once for the value. It now constructs the node with a single call to construct and then constructs the value using in place construction.
  • Add support for C++0x initializer lists where they're available (currently only g++ 4.4 in C++0x mode).
