The main changes are as follows:
the introduction of automatic unit-testing in all components. The STLSoft unittesting architecture is self-registering, and has zero release-build costs or dependencies.
the new Internet-programming sub-project: InetSTL - now you can enumerate FTP sites in an STL-style with your eyes closed!
the new C++.NET sub-project: .netSTL - contains several helper functions and classes, as a first step in building a powerful adjunct library for C++.NET programming
several improvements and some new components added to the COMSTL sub-project
As with previous versions, the STLSoft libraries provide lightweight, robust, efficient mappings of operating-system / technology-specific APIs to STL, with low coupling and 100% header-only implementation.
