1The following fix was made in 4.0 since 4.0 Release Candidate :
2
3	* _threads.h/_config.h : for all platforms, static mutexes made non-indirect
4
5	* _iterator_base.h : made possible to choose between iterator_traits approach
6	  and old-style iterator queries like iterator_category(), value_type(), etc.
7	  (Thanks to John R. Bandela for pointing this out)
8	* _config.h, stl_user_config.h : introduced __STL_OLD_HP_ITERATOR_QUERIES switch to
9	  allow old-style and new-style iterator queries (for all compilers).
10	  iterator_traits<> made always defined.
11
12	* _ptr_specialize.h - specializations of type_traits<> for compilers w/o partial spec
13	  moved into separate file. Added iterator_traits<> specializations for pointer types
14	  for __STL_NO_OLD_HP_ITERATOR_QUERIES case. Macro __STL_POINTERS_SPECIALIZE is now available
15	  to specialize both type_traits and iterator_traits for a pointer to user-defined
16	  type (latter for standard-style iterator queries mode only)
17
18	* vc5.mak : __STL_NO_FORCE_INSTANTIATE flag restored
19

453	(thanks to Alex Vanic for the report)
454
455	* __stl_get_c_string() - made extern non-template for SGI iostreams mode.
456

476	  rope.h typo fixed (thanks to Alex Vanic for the report)
477
478	* getline and stream operators moved from _istream.c to _string.c
479	  where they belong (thanks for Petr Ovchenkov)
480
481	* <new> fixed to import nothrow and nothrow_t
482
483	* Borland C++ 5.5 (free compiler) supported (iostreams won't compile yet).
484
485	* SUN CC 6.0 EA - new features unabled (most announced features still don't work though)
486
487	* HP ACC configuration updated, some fixes for new aCC beta(thanks to Alain Miniussi).
488
489	* Windows CE compatibility fixed (thanks to Gavin Wood for the report)
490
491	* <sstream> fixed for non-SGI case, ios.cpp bug in __STL_NO_EXCEPTIONS
492	  mode fixed, debug iterators fix (thanks to Todd Richmond).
493
494	* VC++ 5.0 and 4.2 compatibility fixed (thanks to Ilya for the report)
495
496	* __cdecl calling convention explicitly specified for VC++ & static/global functions.
497
498	* vc_common.mk : debug type changed to CV (thanks to Mike Pyle for the solution)
499
500	* fstream.cpp : Win32 text mode : bugs fixed, SGI code used.
501	  fixed _M_open() creation flags for Win32 (thanks to Mike Pyle for the report)
502
503        * "install" target added for VC++ to install .dll's into Win system directory.
504
505	* __STL_USE_STATIC_LIB switch added to add flexibility to VC++ linking.
506

519
520The following changes were made in 4.0 release candidate 1 since 3.2.2 Beta 4 :
521
522	* Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot on 01/28.
523
524	* Fixed bug with istream reading numbers in hex mode (thanks to Dave Abrahams
525	  for the patch).
526
527	* Debug mode redesigned (again) - no extra namespaces is being used
528	  Finally, it works for MSVC and all other platforms.
529
530	* __SGI_STL_OWN_IOSTREAMS made to be the default mode except few platforms
531	  not provided with makefiles to build STLport yet.
532
533	* Changed strategy on redefinig std:: namespace.
534	  prolog/epilog technology used to get clean namespace wrapping.
535	  It also allows for managing stack of pragmas
536	  (see stlport/stl/config/_prolog.h,_epilog.h) to get rid of warnings.
537	  Note : default namespace changed to _STL:: to satisfy implementation
538	  constraints and to allow for more compact symbols.
539	  "stlport::" namespace is still defined for backwards compatibility.
540
541	* iostreams library now compiles on HP with aCC (thanks to Steven Serocki for the patch).
542
543	* Configuration for SUN Workshop 6.0 EA provided.
544
545	* For VC++, corresponding [selected by /MT(d) or /MD(d) switch]
546	  STLport iostreams library is being linked automatically - all you
547	  need is to put library in lib search path or specify additional library path.
548
549	* Ability to turn on all warnings in your own code if you're using
550	  a compiler with appropriate support (e.g. MSVC6).
551
552	* Small fixes posted to the forum integrated:
553
554	 * config/stl_wince.h : added __STL_HAS_NO_NEW_C_HEADERS switch
555	 * wrap_std/strsream  : fixed preprocessor bug, strstream.h included
556	  when not using new-style headers
557	 * other fixes
558
559The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 4 since 3.2.2 Beta 3:
560
561	* Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot on 01/10.
562
563	* Major restructuring of header files - for maintainability and
564	  8.3 filesystems benefit.
565
566	* Major debug mode improvements - new debug mode now works with
567	 VC++, gcc, intel, SUNpro, MetroWerks.
568
569	* Regression test suite changed to new-style headers - thanks to
570	  Dima Pasechnik for the initial port.
571
572	* <rope> fixes for Watcom
573
574	* many miscellanous fixes.
575
576The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 3 since 3.2.2 Beta 2:
577
578	* Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot in December.
579
580	* std:: is not used for STLport namespace even with SGI iostreams,
581	  to avoid possible clashes and facilitate 3rd-party library use.
582          Same macro redefinition technique for stlport:: used to keep clients
583	  code with literal std:: happy as in native iostreams mode.
584
585	* C library headers wrapping changed to allow multiple inclusion tricks
586	  (needed by gcc-2.95 mostly)
587
588	* gcc-2.95 and CodeWarrior configurations updated.
589
590	* HP aCC fixes applied.
591
592	* Visual C++ - added static library targets, build refined.
593	  Fixed memory-mapping bugs.
594
595	* auto_ptr updated, now it passes polymorphic tests with VC++.
596
597	* Many small bugfixes.
598
599The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 2 since 3.2.2 Beta 1:
600
601	* Fixed SUN CC deque<> problem with -g
602
603	* Added configuration and makefiles for DEC VMS, Borland and Win32 gcc.
604
605	* Merged changes made to November SGI standard library snapshot.
606
607	* config changes - "configure" made obsolete and moved into "stlport/config/new_compiler".
608
609	* __STL_TYPENAME_ON_RETURN_TYPE handling changed.
610
611	* Miscellanous fixes.
612
613The following changes were made in 3.2.2 Beta 1 since 3.2.1 release:
614
615	* SGI iostreams adopted. To use SGI iostreams, user have to set
616	  __SGI_STL_OWN_IOSTREAMS flag and to build the library in "src"
617	  directory to link with. Please read INSTALL file for detailed
618	  instructions.
619	  Default setting is NOT to use SGI iostreams (wrappers used as before).
620
621	* Debug mode completely redesigned - debug mode containers are
622	  implemented in terms of wrappers around non-debug ones.
623	  That provides for more clean and efficient implementation and
624	  binary compatibility between debug and non-debug versions.
625
626	* Additional configurations added for platforms :
627	     - gcc-2.95
628	     - SUNpro CC 5.0 in "compatibility" mode
629	  "configure" made obsolete.
630
631	* Bugfixes reported by users since 3.2.1 release merged
632
633The following changes were made in 3.2.1 since 3.2 release:
634
635	* Now, by default, STLPort renames std:: namespace for user
636	  if __STL_USE_OWN_NAMESPACE is used. To make it possible, many new
637	  wrapper headers introduced. Internally, STLport uses stlport:: namespace,
638	  so no link- or run- time clashes are possible, and you don't have to rebuild
639	  the runtime lib (which you don't want to).
640	  This feature makes STLport usable out-of-the box, without any modifications
641	  for client code, with any compiler.
642
643	* Code bloat reduction : hashtable<T> uses vector<void*> internally.
644
645	* Vector : efficiency/code bloat reduction fixes.
646
647	* Visual C++ : DLL export is supported for allocators and strings. To use it,
648	  please define __STL_USE_DECLSPEC in all modules and __STL_DESIGNATED_DLL
649	  for the DLL which is supposed to instantiate STLport exports (at least one
650	  source of this DLL must include <string>.
651
652        * Visual C++ : for MT synchronization, <windows.h> is not included anymore.
653
654	* For Sunpro C++ 5.0 : all headers are linked into stlport/SC5, so only
655	  one include path is needed. Note that SC5.0 has problems with relative
656	  search path. It is easy to work around : in your makefiles, instead of
657	  "STL_INCL=../.." , write "STL_INCL=${PWD}/../..".
658
659	* Configuration files provided for compilers :
660	   KAI C++
661	   DEC C++ (6.x, 5.x)
662	   Borland 5.02 is back on the road (finally !)
663
664	* Windows CE config provided for Visual C++.
665
666	* __STL_NO_IOSTREAMS switch introduced for embedded platforms.
667
668	* Lots of minor config fixes and improvements for various platforms.
