     1.4 +The following fix was made in 4.0 since 4.0 Release Candidate :
     1.5 +
     1.6 +	* _threads.h/_config.h : for all platforms, static mutexes made non-indirect
     1.7 +
     1.8 +	* _iterator_base.h : made possible to choose between iterator_traits approach
     1.9 +	  and old-style iterator queries like iterator_category(), value_type(), etc. 
    1.10 +	  (Thanks to John R. Bandela for pointing this out)
    1.11 +	* _config.h, stl_user_config.h : introduced __STL_OLD_HP_ITERATOR_QUERIES switch to
    1.12 +	  allow old-style and new-style iterator queries (for all compilers). 
    1.13 +	  iterator_traits<> made always defined. 
    1.14 +
    1.15 +	* _ptr_specialize.h - specializations of type_traits<> for compilers w/o partial spec
    1.16 +	  moved into separate file. Added iterator_traits<> specializations for pointer types
    1.17 +	  for __STL_NO_OLD_HP_ITERATOR_QUERIES case. Macro __STL_POINTERS_SPECIALIZE is now available
    1.18 +	  to specialize both type_traits and iterator_traits for a pointer to user-defined 
    1.19 +	  type (latter for standard-style iterator queries mode only)

   1.477 +
   1.478 +	* Solid approach to __STL_DEFAULT_CONSTRUCTOR_BUG problem implemented,
   1.479 +	  rope.h typo fixed (thanks to Alex Vanic for the report) 
   1.480 +
   1.481 +	* getline and stream operators moved from _istream.c to _string.c

   1.496 +	
   1.497 +	* VC++ 5.0 and 4.2 compatibility fixed (thanks to Ilya for the report)
   1.498 +
   1.499 +	* __cdecl calling convention explicitly specified for VC++ & static/global functions.
   1.500 +
   1.501 +	* vc_common.mk : debug type changed to CV (thanks to Mike Pyle for the solution)
   1.502 +	
   1.503 +	* fstream.cpp : Win32 text mode : bugs fixed, SGI code used.
   1.504 +	  fixed _M_open() creation flags for Win32 (thanks to Mike Pyle for the report)

   1.514 +
   1.515 +	* debug/_tree.h, debug/_vector.h "typename" fixes, thanks to Matti Rintala.

   1.520 +
   1.521 +	* __STL_DONT_REDEFINE_STD flag behaviour fixed
   1.522 +	
   1.523 +The following changes were made in 4.0 release candidate 1 since 3.2.2 Beta 4 :
   1.524 +	
   1.525 +	* Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot on 01/28.
   1.526 +
   1.527 +	* Fixed bug with istream reading numbers in hex mode (thanks to Dave Abrahams
   1.528 +	  for the patch).
   1.529 +
   1.530 +	* Debug mode redesigned (again) - no extra namespaces is being used
   1.531 +	  Finally, it works for MSVC and all other platforms.
   1.532 +
   1.533 +	* __SGI_STL_OWN_IOSTREAMS made to be the default mode except few platforms
   1.534 +	  not provided with makefiles to build STLport yet.
   1.535 +	
   1.536 +	* Changed strategy on redefinig std:: namespace. 
   1.537 +	  prolog/epilog technology used to get clean namespace wrapping.
   1.538 +	  It also allows for managing stack of pragmas 
   1.539 +	  (see stlport/stl/config/_prolog.h,_epilog.h) to get rid of warnings.
   1.540 +	  Note : default namespace changed to _STL:: to satisfy implementation
   1.541 +	  constraints and to allow for more compact symbols. 
   1.542 +	  "stlport::" namespace is still defined for backwards compatibility.
   1.543 +
   1.544 +	* iostreams library now compiles on HP with aCC (thanks to Steven Serocki for the patch).
   1.545 +
   1.546 +	* Configuration for SUN Workshop 6.0 EA provided.
   1.547 +	
   1.548 +	* For VC++, corresponding [selected by /MT(d) or /MD(d) switch]
   1.549 +	  STLport iostreams library is being linked automatically - all you
   1.550 +	  need is to put library in lib search path or specify additional library path.
   1.551 +
   1.552 +	* Ability to turn on all warnings in your own code if you're using 
   1.553 +	  a compiler with appropriate support (e.g. MSVC6).
   1.554 +	  
   1.555 +	* Small fixes posted to the forum integrated:
   1.556 +	
   1.557 +	 * config/stl_wince.h : added __STL_HAS_NO_NEW_C_HEADERS switch
   1.558 +	 * wrap_std/strsream  : fixed preprocessor bug, strstream.h included
   1.559 +	  when not using new-style headers
   1.560 +	 * other fixes
   1.561 +	
   1.562 +The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 4 since 3.2.2 Beta 3:
   1.563 +
   1.564 +	* Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot on 01/10.
   1.565 +
   1.566 +	* Major restructuring of header files - for maintainability and
   1.567 +	  8.3 filesystems benefit.
   1.568 +
   1.569 +	* Major debug mode improvements - new debug mode now works with
   1.570 +	 VC++, gcc, intel, SUNpro, MetroWerks.
   1.571 +
   1.572 +	* Regression test suite changed to new-style headers - thanks to
   1.573 +	  Dima Pasechnik for the initial port.
   1.574 +	
   1.575 +	* <rope> fixes for Watcom
   1.576 +
   1.577 +	* many miscellanous fixes.
   1.578 +	
   1.579 +The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 3 since 3.2.2 Beta 2:
   1.580 +
   1.581 +	* Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot in December.
   1.582 +	
   1.583 +	* std:: is not used for STLport namespace even with SGI iostreams,
   1.584 +	  to avoid possible clashes and facilitate 3rd-party library use.
   1.585 +          Same macro redefinition technique for stlport:: used to keep clients
   1.586 +	  code with literal std:: happy as in native iostreams mode.
   1.587 +	
   1.588 +	* C library headers wrapping changed to allow multiple inclusion tricks
   1.589 +	  (needed by gcc-2.95 mostly)
   1.590 +	
   1.591 +	* gcc-2.95 and CodeWarrior configurations updated.
   1.592 +
   1.593 +	* HP aCC fixes applied.
   1.594 +
   1.595 +	* Visual C++ - added static library targets, build refined.
   1.596 +	  Fixed memory-mapping bugs.
   1.597 +	
   1.598 +	* auto_ptr updated, now it passes polymorphic tests with VC++.
   1.599 +
   1.600 +	* Many small bugfixes.
   1.601 +	
   1.602 +The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 2 since 3.2.2 Beta 1:
   1.603 +
   1.604 +	* Fixed SUN CC deque<> problem with -g
   1.605 +	
   1.606 +	* Added configuration and makefiles for DEC VMS, Borland and Win32 gcc.
   1.607 +
   1.608 +	* Merged changes made to November SGI standard library snapshot.
   1.609 +
   1.610 +	* config changes - "configure" made obsolete and moved into "stlport/config/new_compiler".
   1.611 +
   1.612 +	* __STL_TYPENAME_ON_RETURN_TYPE handling changed.
   1.613 +	
   1.614 +	* Miscellanous fixes.
   1.615 +
   1.616 +The following changes were made in 3.2.2 Beta 1 since 3.2.1 release:
   1.617 +
   1.618 +	* SGI iostreams adopted. To use SGI iostreams, user have to set
   1.619 +	  __SGI_STL_OWN_IOSTREAMS flag and to build the library in "src"
   1.620 +	  directory to link with. Please read INSTALL file for detailed
   1.621 +	  instructions.
   1.622 +	  Default setting is NOT to use SGI iostreams (wrappers used as before).
   1.623 +
   1.624 +	* Debug mode completely redesigned - debug mode containers are 
   1.625 +	  implemented in terms of wrappers around non-debug ones.
   1.626 +	  That provides for more clean and efficient implementation and
   1.627 +	  binary compatibility between debug and non-debug versions.
   1.628 +
   1.629 +	* Additional configurations added for platforms :
   1.630 +	     - gcc-2.95
   1.631 +	     - SUNpro CC 5.0 in "compatibility" mode
   1.632 +	  "configure" made obsolete.
   1.633 +	
   1.634 +	* Bugfixes reported by users since 3.2.1 release merged 
   1.635 +
   1.636 +The following changes were made in 3.2.1 since 3.2 release:
   1.637 +
   1.638 +	* Now, by default, STLPort renames std:: namespace for user
   1.639 +	  if __STL_USE_OWN_NAMESPACE is used. To make it possible, many new
   1.640 +	  wrapper headers introduced. Internally, STLport uses stlport:: namespace,
   1.641 +	  so no link- or run- time clashes are possible, and you don't have to rebuild
   1.642 +	  the runtime lib (which you don't want to).
   1.643 +	  This feature makes STLport usable out-of-the box, without any modifications
   1.644 +	  for client code, with any compiler.
   1.645 +
   1.646 +	* Code bloat reduction : hashtable<T> uses vector<void*> internally.
   1.647 +
   1.648 +	* Vector : efficiency/code bloat reduction fixes.
   1.649 +
   1.650 +	* Visual C++ : DLL export is supported for allocators and strings. To use it, 
   1.651 +	  please define __STL_USE_DECLSPEC in all modules and __STL_DESIGNATED_DLL
   1.652 +	  for the DLL which is supposed to instantiate STLport exports (at least one
   1.653 +	  source of this DLL must include <string>.
   1.654 +
   1.655 +        * Visual C++ : for MT synchronization, <windows.h> is not included anymore.
   1.656 +	
   1.657 +	* For Sunpro C++ 5.0 : all headers are linked into stlport/SC5, so only
   1.658 +	  one include path is needed. Note that SC5.0 has problems with relative 
   1.659 +	  search path. It is easy to work around : in your makefiles, instead of
   1.660 +	  "STL_INCL=../.." , write "STL_INCL=${PWD}/../..".
   1.661 +
   1.662 +	* Configuration files provided for compilers : 
   1.663 +	   KAI C++
   1.664 +	   DEC C++ (6.x, 5.x)
   1.665 +	   Borland 5.02 is back on the road (finally !)
   1.666 +	  
   1.667 +	* Windows CE config provided for Visual C++.
   1.668 +
   1.669 +	* __STL_NO_IOSTREAMS switch introduced for embedded platforms.
   1.670 +	
   1.671 +	* Lots of minor config fixes and improvements for various platforms.
