| SUMMARY OF RECENT MAJOR CHANGES to LIBSTDC++. | |
| (Also check ../libio/NEWS.) | |
| *** Noteworthy changes in libstdc++ version 2.8.0: | |
| * The STL implementation in libstdc++ is now only slightly modified from | |
| the HP distribution, thanks to improved template support in gcc 2.8.0. | |
| * The string representation class is now nested in the basic_string | |
| template, since this is supported in the new gcc. | |
| * As a result of these and other changes, libstc++ 2.8.0 is not binary | |
| compatible with previous releases of libstdc++. |
