The Apache C++ Standard Library project is pleased to announce
the release of stdcxx 4.2.1. The distribution can be downloaded
from one of the Apache Download Mirrors, such as:
http://mirror.atlanticmetro.net/apache/stdcxx/.
For the full list of Apache Download Mirrors see:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi
For additional details see the stdcxx Download page:

Apache C++ Standard Library is an efficient, cross-platform
implementation of the C++ Standard Library conforming to the
ISO/IEC 14882:2003 International Standard for the Programming
Language C++, complete with a robust implementation of the C++
localization library independent of the underlying operating
system for maximum portability of localized data.
4.2.1 is a "bugfix" release of the library that is source and
both backward and forward binary compatible with stdcxx 4.2.0.
Programs linked with previous versions of stdcxx 4.x can safely
upgrade to 4.2.1 without needing to be recompiled. New programs
linked with stdcxx 4.2.1 can be deployed in environments with
only stdcxx 4.2.0 installed. Forward compatibility with stdcxx
4.1.x is not guaranteed.
This release of stdcxx supports a number of new platforms,
including HP aCC 6.16 on HP-UX 11.31/IPF, Sun Studio 12
on Linux and Solaris, gcc 4.3, and Microsoft Visual Studio
2008. For the full list of tested platforms see the project's
README file:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/stdcxx/tags/4.2.1/README
In addition, 4.2.1 contains many bug fixes and a number of
improvements. For the complete list of issues resolved in
this release see the Release Notes:
