The following fix was made in 4.0 since 4.0 Release Candidate :

	* _threads.h/_config.h : for all platforms, static mutexes made non-indirect

	* _iterator_base.h : made possible to choose between iterator_traits approach

	  and old-style iterator queries like iterator_category(), value_type(), etc. 

	  (Thanks to John R. Bandela for pointing this out)

	* std:: is not used for STLport namespace even with SGI iostreams,

	  to avoid possible clashes and facilitate 3rd-party library use.

          Same macro redefinition technique for stlport:: used to keep clients

	  code with literal std:: happy as in native iostreams mode.

	* C library headers wrapping changed to allow multiple inclusion tricks

	  (needed by gcc-2.95 mostly)

	* gcc-2.95 and CodeWarrior configurations updated.

	* HP aCC fixes applied.

	* Visual C++ - added static library targets, build refined.

	  Fixed memory-mapping bugs.

	* auto_ptr updated, now it passes polymorphic tests with VC++.

	* Many small bugfixes.

The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 2 since 3.2.2 Beta 1:

	* Fixed SUN CC deque<> problem with -g

	* Added configuration and makefiles for DEC VMS, Borland and Win32 gcc.

	* Merged changes made to November SGI standard library snapshot.

	* config changes - "configure" made obsolete and moved into "stlport/config/new_compiler".

	* __STL_TYPENAME_ON_RETURN_TYPE handling changed.

	* Miscellanous fixes.

The following changes were made in 3.2.2 Beta 1 since 3.2.1 release:

	* SGI iostreams adopted. To use SGI iostreams, user have to set

	  __SGI_STL_OWN_IOSTREAMS flag and to build the library in "src"

	  directory to link with. Please read INSTALL file for detailed

	  instructions.

	  Default setting is NOT to use SGI iostreams (wrappers used as before).

	* Debug mode completely redesigned - debug mode containers are 

	  implemented in terms of wrappers around non-debug ones.

	  That provides for more clean and efficient implementation and

	  binary compatibility between debug and non-debug versions.

	* Additional configurations added for platforms :

	     - gcc-2.95

	     - SUNpro CC 5.0 in "compatibility" mode

	  "configure" made obsolete.

	* Bugfixes reported by users since 3.2.1 release merged 

The following changes were made in 3.2.1 since 3.2 release:

	* Now, by default, STLPort renames std:: namespace for user

	  if __STL_USE_OWN_NAMESPACE is used. To make it possible, many new

	  wrapper headers introduced. Internally, STLport uses stlport:: namespace,

	  so no link- or run- time clashes are possible, and you don't have to rebuild

	  the runtime lib (which you don't want to).

	  This feature makes STLport usable out-of-the box, without any modifications

	  for client code, with any compiler.

	* Code bloat reduction : hashtable<T> uses vector<void*> internally.

	* Vector : efficiency/code bloat reduction fixes.

	* Visual C++ : DLL export is supported for allocators and strings. To use it, 

	  please define __STL_USE_DECLSPEC in all modules and __STL_DESIGNATED_DLL

	  for the DLL which is supposed to instantiate STLport exports (at least one

	  source of this DLL must include <string>.

        * Visual C++ : for MT synchronization, <windows.h> is not included anymore.

	* For Sunpro C++ 5.0 : all headers are linked into stlport/SC5, so only

	  one include path is needed. Note that SC5.0 has problems with relative 

	  search path. It is easy to work around : in your makefiles, instead of

	  "STL_INCL=../.." , write "STL_INCL=${PWD}/../..".

	* Configuration files provided for compilers : 

	   KAI C++

	   DEC C++ (6.x, 5.x)

	   Borland 5.02 is back on the road (finally !)

	* Windows CE config provided for Visual C++.

	* __STL_NO_IOSTREAMS switch introduced for embedded platforms.

	* Lots of minor config fixes and improvements for various platforms.
