Summary
Just a heads up about three new libraries, and improvements in two established ones, ... (and a thinly veiled hint at some help from any members of the C++ community who have time, and a desire to work with highly efficient, highly robust libraries.)

Commercial and publishing reasons are forcing me to do what I should have done a long time ago, and release several pending libraries in the coming days:

• xContract - a contract programming enforcement library; initially for C/C++
• xCover - a code coverage library for C and C++
• FastFormat - already available as an alpha, this will hit the non-alpha/non-beta status in the coming days; as the name implies, it's faster than all the competition put together ;-)
• Pantheios - in beta (albeit very popular) for two years, the world's fastest and most robust logging API library has waited long enough for a final 1.0 release.

Also, STLSoft is finally going to be moving to SourceForge in the next week or so, and it too will receive a face lift and an update to docs, tests, and so on.

If anyone wants to volunteer any help for any of these activities, you'd be extraordinarily welcome.

Matt
