1 The following fix was made in 4.0 since 4.0 Release Candidate :
3 * _threads.h/_config.h : for all platforms, static mutexes made non-indirect
5 * _iterator_base.h : made possible to choose between iterator_traits approach
6 and old-style iterator queries like iterator_category(), value_type(), etc.

559 The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 4 since 3.2.2 Beta 3:
561 * Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot on 01/10.
563 * Major restructuring of header files - for maintainability and
564 8.3 filesystems benefit.
566 * Major debug mode improvements - new debug mode now works with
567 VC++, gcc, intel, SUNpro, MetroWerks.
569 * Regression test suite changed to new-style headers - thanks to
570 Dima Pasechnik for the initial port.
572 * <rope> fixes for Watcom
574 * many miscellanous fixes.
576 The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 3 since 3.2.2 Beta 2:
578 * Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot in December.
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.
585 * C library headers wrapping changed to allow multiple inclusion tricks
586 (needed by gcc-2.95 mostly)
588 * gcc-2.95 and CodeWarrior configurations updated.
590 * HP aCC fixes applied.
592 * Visual C++ - added static library targets, build refined.
593 Fixed memory-mapping bugs.
595 * auto_ptr updated, now it passes polymorphic tests with VC++.
597 * Many small bugfixes.
599 The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 2 since 3.2.2 Beta 1:
601 * Fixed SUN CC deque<> problem with -g
603 * Added configuration and makefiles for DEC VMS, Borland and Win32 gcc.
605 * Merged changes made to November SGI standard library snapshot.
607 * config changes - "configure" made obsolete and moved into "stlport/config/new_compiler".
609 * __STL_TYPENAME_ON_RETURN_TYPE handling changed.
611 * Miscellanous fixes.
613 The following changes were made in 3.2.2 Beta 1 since 3.2.1 release:
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
619 Default setting is NOT to use SGI iostreams (wrappers used as before).
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.
626 * Additional configurations added for platforms :
628 - SUNpro CC 5.0 in "compatibility" mode
629 "configure" made obsolete.
631 * Bugfixes reported by users since 3.2.1 release merged
633 The following changes were made in 3.2.1 since 3.2 release:
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.
643 * Code bloat reduction : hashtable<T> uses vector<void*> internally.
645 * Vector : efficiency/code bloat reduction fixes.
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>.
652 * Visual C++ : for MT synchronization, <windows.h> is not included anymore.
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}/../..".
659 * Configuration files provided for compilers :
662 Borland 5.02 is back on the road (finally !)
664 * Windows CE config provided for Visual C++.
666 * __STL_NO_IOSTREAMS switch introduced for embedded platforms.
668 * Lots of minor config fixes and improvements for various platforms.
