Boost.Text: What a C++ standard Unicode library might look like

C++ is one of a select few major languages with no built-in support for Unicode. If nothing else, this is an embarassment that should be remedied.

Transwarp 1.3.0

Transwarp is a header-only C++ library for task concurrency. It enables you to free your functors from explicit threads and transparently manage dependencies. Under the hood, a directed acyclic graph is built that allows for efficient traversal and type-safe dependencies. Use transwarp if you want to model your dependent operations in a graph of tasks and intend to invoke the graph more than once.
