3Release Notes
4-------------
5The Standard C++ Library, or libstdc++-v3, is an ongoing project
6to fully implement the ISO 14882 Standard C++ library as described in
7chapters 17 through 27 and annex D.
8
9This is the fifteenth snapshot of the libstdc++ rewrite.  It still
10has some incomplet and incorrekt parts, but it's a lot less incomplete
11and incorrect than some of the earlier snapshots, and quite usable.
12
13The Standard C++ Library, follows an open development model,
14attempting to be fully buzzword, bazaar, and GNU compliant. Full
15details on participating, including contributor guidelines, mailing
16list subscription, mailing list archives, up-to-date documentation,
17and various and sundry other details can be found at the following

71Development tools:
72------------------
73
74You will need a current version of gcc to compile this snapshot of
75libstdc++. The use of the latest stable gcc-3.0.x release (3.0.4), CVS
76gcc, or gcc-3_1-branch is strongly recommended, which may also
77introduce additional dependencies for up-to-date binutils. In
78particular, current binutils (2.12) is recommended so that symbol
79versioning for the library is on by default. In addition, you may need
80up-to-date tools for modifying Makefiles and regenerating configure
81scripts: automake (version 1.4), autoconf (version 2.13 and higher),
82and libtool.
