+ <h3>1.34.1 (13 July 2007)</h3>
+
+ <p>This is a bug fix release addressing many problems
with the 1.34.0 release.
+ It is a recommended upgrade for all users of Boost
1.34.0. For a complete list of fixes see
+ <a
href="http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/query?status=closed&milestone=Boost+1.34.1";>Boost
Trac</a>.</p>
+
+ <h4>Supported Compilers</h4>
+
+ <p>New in this release is improved support for
+ the IBM XL C/C++ compiler.</p>
+
+ <p>Boost is tested on a wide range of compilers and
+ platforms. Since Boost libraries rely on modern C++
+ features not available in all compilers, not all
+ Boost libraries will work with every compiler.
+ New in this release The
+ following compilers and platforms have been
+ extensively tested with Boost, although many other
+ compilers and platforms will work as well. For more
+ information, see the <a href=
