Boost 1.70 Release

Removed support for deprecated GCC compilers.
Fixed bugs:
- Git Pull #23: "Add minimal cmake file".
- Git Issue #25: "adaptive_merge is broken for iterator_traits<RandIt>::size_type != std::size_t".

Boost 1.69 Release

Deprecated GCC < 4.3 and MSVC < 9.0 (Visual 2008) compilers.
Fixed bugs:
- Git Issue #19: "Compilation error with IBM xlC++ on AIX".

Boost 1.67 Release

Added pdqsort and heap_sort implementations, initially as a detail, they will be official in the future once better tested.

Boost 1.66 Release

Fixed bugs:
- Git Pull #14: "Workaround for bogus Wignored-attributes warning on GCC 6.x/7.x".
- Git Issue #15: "Incorrect merge in adaptive_merge when the number of unique items is limited".

Boost 1.65 Release

Fixed bug:
- Git Pull #11: "replace 'std::random_shuffle' by '::random_shuffle'".
- Git Pull #12: "Adds support for MSVC ARM64 target'".

Boost 1.64 Release

Fixed bug:
- #12920 "movelib::unique_ptr: incorrect pointer type for nested array".

Boost 1.62 Release

Documented new limitations reported in Trac tickets #12194 "Copy assignment on moveable and copyable classes uses wrong type" and #12307 "Copy assignment from const ref handled differently in C++11/C++98".

Boost 1.61 Release

Experimental: asymptotically optimal bufferless merge and sort algorithms: adaptive_merge and adaptive_sort.
Fixed bug:
- Trac #11758: "BOOST_MOVABLE_BUT_NOT_COPYABLE doesn't reset private access with rvalue ref version",

Boost 1.60 Release

Fixed bug:
- Trac #11615: "Boost.Move should use the qualified name for std::size_t in type_traits.hpp",

Boost 1.59 Release

Changed unique_ptr's converting constructor taking the source by value in C++03 compilers to allow simple conversions from convertible types returned by value.
Fixed bug:
- Trac #11229: "vector incorrectly copies move-only objects using memcpy",
- Trac #11510: "unique_ptr: -Wshadow warning issued",

Boost 1.58 Release

Added BOOST_MOVE_BASE utility.
Added adl_move_swap utility.
Reduced dependencies on other Boost libraries to make the library a bit more lightweight.
Fixed bugs:
- Trac #11044: "boost::rv inherits off union, when such passed as template argument".

Boost 1.57 Release

Added unique_ptr smart pointer. Thanks to Howard Hinnant for his excellent unique_ptr emulation code and testsuite.
