Throughout 2007, the STLSoft library documentation and website have been in a
holding pattern, awaiting time and resources for rework into a fit and proper
form deserving of a professional open-source library. We are confident that
the transformation of the site and documentation will be complete before the
end of Apr 2008, and continue to apologise for this interruption.
During this time, the libraries themselves have continued to be of the
high quality users have come to expect and demand from STLSoft. This will
continue to be so, regardless of the state of the website and documentation.
