[section:changes Change Log]

[h2 Review Version]

Initial review version, for the review conducted from 7th December 2007 to
16th December 2007.

[h2 1.35.0 Add-on - 31st March 2008]

Unofficial release uploaded to vault, to be used with Boost 1.35.0. Incorporated
many of the suggestions from the review.

* Improved portability thanks to Boost regression testing.
* Fix lots of typos, and clearer text in the documentation.
* Fix floating point to `std::size_t` conversion when calculating sizes from
  the max load factor, and use `double` in the calculation for greater accuracy.
* Fix some errors in the examples.

[h2 Boost 1.36.0]

First official release.

* Rearrange the internals.
* Move semantics - full support when rvalue references are available, emulated
  using a cut down version of the Adobe move library when they are not.
* Emplace support when rvalue references and variadic template are available.
* More efficient node allocation when rvalue references and variadic template
  are available.
* Added equality operators.

[h2 Boost 1.37.0]

* Rename overload of `emplace` with hint, to `emplace_hint` as specified in
  [@http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2008/n2691.pdf n2691].
* Provide forwarding headers at `<boost/unordered/unordered_map_fwd.hpp>` and
  `<boost/unordered/unordered_set_fwd.hpp>`.
* Move all the implementation inside `boost/unordered`, to assist
  modularization and hopefully make it easier to track changes in subversion.

[h2 Boost 1.38.0]

* Use [@boost:/libs/utility/swap.html `boost::swap`].
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2237 Ticket 2237]:
  Document that the equality and inequality operators are undefined for two
  objects if their equality predicates aren't equivalent. Thanks to Daniel
  Krügler.
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1710 Ticket 1710]: 
  Use a larger prime number list. Thanks to Thorsten Ottosen and Hervé
  Brönnimann.
* Use
  [@boost:/libs/type_traits/doc/html/boost_typetraits/category/alignment.html
  aligned storage] to store the types. This changes the way the allocator is
  used to construct nodes. It used to construct the node with two calls to
  the allocator's `construct` method - once for the pointers and once for the
  value. It now constructs the node with a single call to construct and
  then constructs the value using in place construction.
* Add support for C++0x initializer lists where they're available (currently
  only g++ 4.4 in C++0x mode).

[h2 Boost 1.39.0]

* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2756 Ticket 2756]: Avoid a warning
  on Visual C++ 2009.
* Some other minor internal changes to the implementation, tests and
  documentation.
* Avoid an unnecessary copy in `operator[]`.
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2975 Ticket 2975]: Fix length of
  prime number list.

[h2 Boost 1.40.0]

* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2975 Ticket 2975]:
  Store the prime list as a preprocessor sequence - so that it will always get
  the length right if it changes again in the future.
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1978 Ticket 1978]:
  Implement `emplace` for all compilers.
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2908 Ticket 2908],
  [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3096 Ticket 3096]:
  Some workarounds for old versions of borland, including adding explicit
  destructors to all containers.
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3082 Ticket 3082]:
  Disable incorrect Visual C++ warnings.
* Better configuration for C++0x features when the headers aren't available.
* Create less buckets by default.

[h2 Boost 1.41.0 - Major update]

* The original version made heavy use of macros to sidestep some of the older
  compilers' poor template support. But since I no longer support those
  compilers and the macro use was starting to become a maintenance burden it
  has been rewritten to use templates instead of macros for the implementation
  classes.

* The container objcet is now smaller thanks to using `boost::compressed_pair`
  for EBO and a slightly different function buffer - now using a bool instead
  of a member pointer.

* Buckets are allocated lazily which means that constructing an empty container
  will not allocate any memory.
  
[h2 Boost 1.42.0]

* Support instantiating the containers with incomplete value types.
* Reduced the number of warnings (mostly in tests).
* Improved codegear compatibility.
* [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3693 Ticket 3693]:
  Add `erase_return_void` as a temporary workaround for the current
  `erase` which can be inefficient because it has to find the next
  element to return an iterator.
* Add templated find overload for compatible keys.
* [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3773 Ticket 3773]:
  Add missing `std` qualifier to `ptrdiff_t`.
* Some code formatting changes to fit almost all lines into 80 characters.

[h2 Boost 1.43.0]

* [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3966 Ticket 3966]:
  `erase_return_void` is now `quick_erase`, which is the
  [@http://home.roadrunner.com/~hinnant/issue_review/lwg-active.html#579
  current forerunner for resolving the slow erase by iterator], although
  there's a strong possibility that this may change in the future. The old
  method name remains for backwards compatibility but is considered deprecated
  and will be removed in a future release.
* Use Boost.Exception.
* Stop using deprecated `BOOST_HAS_*` macros.

[h2 Boost 1.45.0]

* Fix a bug when inserting into an `unordered_map` or `unordered_set` using
  iterators which returns `value_type` by copy.

[h2 Boost 1.48.0 - Major update]

This is major change which has been converted to use Boost.Move's move
emulation, and be more compliant with the C++11 standard. See the
[link unordered.compliance compliance section] for details.

The container now meets C++11's complexity requirements, but to do so
uses a little more memory. This means that `quick_erase` and
`erase_return_void` are no longer required, they'll be removed in a
future version.

C++11 support has resulted in some breaking changes:

* Equality comparison has been changed to the C++11 specification.
  In a container with equivalent keys, elements in a group with equal
  keys used to have to be in the same order to be considered equal,
  now they can be a permutation of each other. To use the old
  behavior define the macro `BOOST_UNORDERED_DEPRECATED_EQUALITY`.

* The behaviour of swap is different when the two containers to be
  swapped has unequal allocators. It used to allocate new nodes using
  the appropriate allocators, it now swaps the allocators if
  the allocator has a member structure `propagate_on_container_swap`,
  such that `propagate_on_container_swap::value` is true.

* Allocator's `construct` and `destroy` functions are called with raw
  pointers, rather than the allocator's `pointer` type.

* `emplace` used to emulate the variadic pair constructors that
  appeared in early C++0x drafts. Since they were removed it no
  longer does so. It does emulate the new `piecewise_construct`
  pair constructors - only you need to use
  `boost::piecewise_construct`. To use the old emulation of
  the variadic consturctors define
  `BOOST_UNORDERED_DEPRECATED_PAIR_CONSTRUCT`.

[h2 Boost 1.49.0]

* Fix warning due to accidental odd assignment.
* Slightly better error messages.

[h2 Boost 1.50.0]

* Fix equality for `unordered_multiset` and `unordered_multimap`.
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6857 Ticket 6857]:
  Implement `reserve`.
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6771 Ticket 6771]:
  Avoid gcc's `-Wfloat-equal` warning.
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6784 Ticket 6784]:
  Fix some Sun specific code.
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6190 Ticket 6190]:
  Avoid gcc's `-Wshadow` warning.
* [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6905 Ticket 6905]:
  Make namespaces in macros compatible with `bcp` custom namespaces.
  Fixed by Luke Elliott.
* Remove some of the smaller prime number of buckets, as they may make
  collisions quite probable (e.g. multiples of 5 are very common because
  we used base 10).
* On old versions of Visual C++, use the container library's implementation
  of `allocator_traits`, as it's more likely to work.
* On machines with 64 bit std::size_t, use power of 2 buckets, with Thomas
  Wang's hash function to pick which one to use. As modulus is very slow
  for 64 bit values.
* Some internal changes.

[h2 Boost 1.51.0]

* Fix construction/destruction issue when using a C++11 compiler with a
  C++03 allocator ([ticket 7100]).
* Remove a `try..catch` to support compiling without exceptions.
* Adjust SFINAE use to try to supprt g++ 3.4 ([ticket 7175]).
* Updated to use the new config macros.

[h2 Boost 1.52.0]

* Faster assign, which assigns to existing nodes where possible, rather than
  creating entirely new nodes and copy constructing.
* Fixed bug in `erase_range` ([ticket 7471]).
* Reverted some of the internal changes to how nodes are created, especially
  for C++11 compilers. 'construct' and 'destroy' should work a little better
  for C++11 allocators.
* Simplified the implementation a bit. Hopefully more robust.

[h2 Boost 1.53.0]

* Remove support for the old pre-standard variadic pair constructors, and
  equality implementation. Both have been deprecated since Boost 1.48.
* Remove use of deprecated config macros.
* More internal implementation changes, including a much simpler
  implementation of `erase`.

[h2 Boost 1.54.0]

* Mark methods specified in standard as `noexpect`. More to come in the next
  release.
* If the hash function and equality predicate are known to both have nothrow
  move assignment or construction then use them.
