15.2:
2
3- Major modifications:
4
5	* Use of #include_next to access native platform/compiler headers when the
6	preprocessor support it. Enhance STLport portability as native header path do
7	not have to be adapted each time the header structure is modified.
8
9	* Yet a modification of the include schema in all C++ Standard headers. Now
10	_STLP_WHOLE_NATIVE_STD mode works as expected, used in conjonction with
11	_STLP_DONT_REDEFINE_STD it is possible to use STLport in stlport namespace at
12	the same time as using native library in std namespace.
13
14	* Use of the gcc visibility feature for gcc versions after 4.0.
15
16	* For builds under Windows, STLport now adapt to the PSDK used to build it. It
17	should be the same as the one used when building an application using the
18	STLport libs. A compatibility detection mecanism has been implemented in order
19	to report not homogeneous build environment with a link error rather than undefined
20	runtime error.
21
22- Enhancements:
23
24	* Use of malloc based allocator on system having GlibC 2.3 and later, keep
25	node allocator for others.
26
27	* Delay instanciation of type traits type in vector and deque implementation to
28	be able to use some of the nested types like iterator even if type used to
29	instanciate the container is not completely defined.
30
31	* Container pointer specialization feature now works even with incomplete types
32	thanks to use of partial template specialization.
33
345.1:
35
36- Major modifications
37
38	* Folder architecture: All configuration files are now in stlport/stl/config folder.
39	stlport/stl_user_config.h renamed and moved as stlport/stl/config/user_config.h.
40	stlport/stl/_site_config.h renamed and moved as stlport/stl/config/hosts.h.
41	STLport configuration now also try to seperate platform configuration from compiler
42	one.
43
44	* Allocators implementation is in src folder to enhance encapsulation. Default
45	allocator when using STLport without building it (_STLP_NO_IOSTREAMS) is the simple
46	new/delete based allocator, node allocator is the default when building the lib.
47
48	* Access to native headers has been modified to make STLport less dependant on
49	native headers internal includes, should improve portability.
50
51	* Segregation of headers has been improved. You might have to add now missing
52	functional or algorithm Standard headers include in your code.
53
54- Enhancements
55
56	* Support enhancements:
57	  - Borland compilers starting with the free one (5.5.1)
58	  - HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.06.06
59	  - Visual Studio 2005 for Windows CE
60	  - Use of intrinsic type traits support of Visual Studio 2005
61
62	* Improved meta programming techniques especially in uninitialized_* algorithms.
63	If you need a vector of null pointer prefer to write 'vector<void*> v(10)' rather
64	than 'vector<void*> v(10, (void*)0)'.
65
66	* Fully functional pointer specialization feature (_STLP_USE_PTR_SPECIALIZATIONS).
67
68	* Extension of template search methods in associative and hashed container has
69	been completed.
70
71	* STL safe mode: Now detect badly implemented strict weak ordering functors, assert
72	if a < b && b < a. Same for equivalent functor used in hash container implementation,
73	assert if a <=> b but !(b <=> a).
74
75	* Improved locale creation delay on Windows platform.
76
77	* STL containers implementation now correctly handle allocators with state. This kind
78	of allocator has to overload swap method if any specific action has to be made when
79	swaping 2 instances.
80
81	* STLport is ready for safe string functions *_s (_STLP_USE_SAFE_STRING_FUNCTIONS)
82
83	* Many bug fixes, see etc/ChangeLog-5.1.
84
855.0:
86
87- Major modifications
88
89	* No more wrapper mode: you can use STLport iostreams or no iostreams
90	at all.
91
92	* _STLP_NO_CUSTOM_IO now also hide basic_string implementation
93
94	* internal namespace schema has been modified, see doc folder for additionnal
95	informations.
96
97- Enhancements
98
99	* Support of many modern C++ compilers and platforms
100	  - gcc 3.4.0 and later
101	  - MSVC .Net 2002, 2003 and MSVC 2005 Beta
102	  - Windows CE
103	see build/test/unit/STATUS for a complete list of tested platforms/compilers
104
105	* Move semantic: vector or deque of any other STL containers are using
106	move semantic when resized or modified rather than copy.
107
108	* New checks in safe STL mode like null pointer or check of iterator range
109	pass to container constructors.
110
111	* Expression template for string concatenation operations (available
112	throught the _STLP_USE_TEMPLATE_EXPRESSION config option)
113
114	* Implementation of the short string optimization trick, basic_string have
115	a small static buffer in this case.
116
117	* STL containers vector, deque, list and slist pointer specialization to
118	limit code bloats (see _STLP_USE_PTR_SPECIALIZATIONS on config file)
119
120	* Use of boost type_traits rather than internal equivalent when requested
121	(see _STLP_USE_BOOST_SUPPORT in config file)
122
123	* set/multiset, or map/multimap iterators cannot be compared anymore.
124
125	* unordered_set, unordered_multiset, unordered_map, unordered_multimap hash
126	containers implementation specified in the TR1 document.
127
128	* Thanks to the _STLP_LEAKS_PEDANTIC config option you can ask STLport to
129	clean its memory pool before being unloaded, useful to only detect real
130	memory leak problems.
131
132	* Creation of configuration scripts to make STLport configuration easier.
133
134	* Improvment of some algorithm like search_n or stable_sort.
135
136	* Ported to 64 bits platforms.
137
138	* Large file ( > 4 Go) stream support on Win32 platform.
