(Some of the libraries have already been included in the C++ 2011 standard and others have been proposed to the C++ Standards Committee for inclusion in future standards.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes classifying incomplete UTF-8 sequences in Boost.Locale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Feb 13 2013 Petr Machata <pmachata@redhat.com> - 1.50.0-5 - Update %description to reflect current state of C++ standardization.
