[Adobe-source-devel] ASL 1.0.37 released

[Mat M. <mm...@ad...>]

Version 1.0.37 of the Adobe Source Libraries has been released. 

Highlights of this release include:

    ASL:
    - Update ASL to depend on boost 1.35.0
    - Patch boost 1.35.0 to fix bugs in boost threads and boost
    filesystem
    - Patch boost build to add a link-incompatible feature
    allowing _SECURE_SCL to be disabled, thus avoiding
    unjustifiable performance penalty on release builds.
    - Multiple net setup and build improvements.
    - Workaround the bjam MkDir bug that was causing build errors
    and the need for multiple invocations of bjam.
    - Tested against gcc 4.3.0.
    - Update ASL to depend on Intel Thread Building Blocks
    2008.04.08 stable release, now supporting atomics under ppc 32bit.
    - Patch TBB to support windows/cygwin-based gcc 4.1.1 and
    later.
    - Fix bug on 64 bit little-endian machines in closed_hash
    - Documentation improvements and corrections for any_regular_t
    and some algorithms
    - Fixed a potential memory leak in any_regular_t
    - Fixed thread safety issue with forest<>::size()
    - New binary_search (unlike std::binary_search, this is useful)
    - Added gather algorithm (thanks to Marshall Clow)
    - Started to break-up functional -
    functional/operator.hpp
    functional/is_member.hpp
    - Deleted find_first_of_set.hpp - use find_if with is_member
    instead
    - Change sheet and basic sheet API to remove
    attach_view/detach_view in favor of signals
    mechanism. Remove function_as_view since function/bind
    results can once again be used directly. poly_view is now
    optional for clients who find it more convenient.
    - Change adam API to remove
    attach_controller/detach_controller in favor of signals
    mechanism. poly_controller is now optional for clients who
    find it convenient.
    - Remove dependence of adam_tutorial on APL and move to
    ASL. Add visual project for adam_tutorial.
    - Rewrite copy_on_write to use a well-defined binary
    representation, add custom allocator support, move to
    version1 namespace.
    - Added script to update a directory in p4 based on "offline"
    changes, and other scripts to automate documentation update
    process. 
    - Fixes to vector and string for windows min/max problems,
    thanks to Jesper.
    - Add check ensuring operator== interoperability of forest
    iters and const iters.

    APL: 
    - Add property_model_formatter.hpp and layout_formatter.hpp
    for parsing layout and property model descriptions into a
    data structure instead of to the widget factory.
    - Add layout_tidy and property_model_tidy which check layout
    and property model definitions validity.
