Name        : boost
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 1.48.0
Release     : 13.fc17
URL         : http://www.boost.org
Summary     : The free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries
Description :
Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.  The
emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
Library, in the hopes of establishing "existing practice" for
extensions and providing reference implementations so that the Boost
libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. (Some of the
libraries have already been proposed for inclusion in the C++
Standards Committee's upcoming C++ Standard Library Technical Report.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

- This update fixes a bug in Boost.Pool, which could under certain circumstances overflow allocated chunk size.  This could have security implications for applications that use Boost pool without sanitizing pool parameters.
- Boost.Locale library now contains backend code, which was left out before by mistake.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
