- Filesystem Library added - Portable paths, iteration over directories, and other useful filesystem operations, from Beman Dawes.
- Optional Library added - A discriminated-union wrapper for optional values, from Fernando Cacciola.
- Interval Library added - Extends the usual arithmetic functions to mathematical intervals, from Guillaume Melquiond, Herve Bronnimann and Sylvain Pion.
- MPL added - Template metaprogramming framework of compile-time algorithms, sequences and metafunction classes, from Aleksey Gurtovoy.
- Spirit Library added - An LL (unlimited lookahead) parser framework that represents parsers directly as EBNF grammars in inlined C++ source code, complete with semantic actions, ASTs and much more, from Joel de Guzman and team.
- Smart Pointers Library - cast functions are now spelled static_pointer_cast / dynamic_pointer_cast; enable_shared_from_this added; shared_ptr::shared_ptr(), shared_ptr::reset(), weak_ptr::weak_ptr(), weak_ptr::reset() no longer throw; get_deleter added; weak_ptr::get() removed; make_shared is now spelled weak_ptr::lock() ; intrusive_ptr documentation added; some experimental undocumented shared_ptr features have been removed; a page describing some smart pointer programming techniques has been added.
- boost/assert.hpp, boost/current_function.hpp, boost/throw_exception.hpp, boost/checked_delete.hpp have been documented.
- Date-Time Library - several fixes and small additions including an interface change to partial_date. See the Date-Time Change History for more details.
