HPX version 0.9.6 released -- Stellar Group, LSU
The Stellar Group at Louisiana State University has released version 0.9.6 of High Performance Parallex (HPX) for Linux, MacOS, Windows, and Android.
HPX V0.9.6 Released
The STE||AR Group is proud to announce the sixth formal release of HPX (V0.9.6). ...
From the announcement:
In this release we have made several significant changes:
- Consolidated API to be aligned with the C++11 (and the future C++14) Standard
- Implemented a distributed version of our Active Global Address Space (AGAS)
- Ported HPX to the Xeon-Phi device
- Added support for the SLURM scheduling system
- Improved the performance counter framework
- Added a distributed version of the Active Global Address Space (AGAS)
- Added parcel (message) compression and parcel coalescing systems
- Allow different scheduling polices for different parts of code with experimental executors API
- Added experimental security support on the locality level
- Created a native transport layer on top of Infiniband networks
- Created a native transport layer on top of low level MPI functions
- Added an experimental tuple-space object
Intel Concurrent Collections for C++ 0.9 now supports Xeon Phi on Windows and Linux
Note that some of these concurrent collections are also currently being proposed for ISO standardization.
From the announcement:
Intel Releases New Version of Intel® Concurrent Collections for C++
Intel released a new version of Intel® Concurrent Collections for C++, a library that helps developers write and tune parallel software. Now with Version 0.9, computers powered by Intel® Xeon Phi™ co-processors are supported and can experience unified programming in the same seamless way that single Intel multi-core workstations and clusters of workstations have experienced with earlier versions. Additionally, its tuning layer was extended, giving developers even easier control over the execution of their application, offering greater potential for performance, scalability and productivity.
Intel Concurrent Collections for C++ is available for Windows and Linux as a free download through the Intel Software Network.
Boost 1.54.0 released!

LLVM 3.3 is released!
You can download either the source or prebuilt executables from the LLVM web site
Clang 3.3 includes full C++11 support, as well as a suite of run-time checkers to help find bugs in your programs.

GCC 4.8.1 released, C++11 feature complete
The release of GCC 4.8.1 was announced today (31 May 2013) on the gcc mailing list. In addition to many bug fixes, GCC 4.8.1 adds support for C++11 ref-qualifiers, the final missing C++11 feature. This makes GCC the first C++11 [Ed.: language specification] feature complete compiler to be released.
Information on the full set of changes is available on the GCC 4.8 series page.
Clang 3.3, also C++11 feature complete, is in release testing and the release is currently scheduled for June 5th. Within a week full C++11 support will be available from two major compilers and on numerous platforms supported by those compilers.
Forging ahead with support for the next C++ standard.
Clang reaches 100%: Fully compliant compiler expected this summer
Reported via Twitter by ISO C++ project editor Stefanus Du Toit:
Clang is C++11 feature complete as of *just now*! Here's the final commit by Richard Smith: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=revision&revision=179858 … #llvm #cxx11
With Richard Smith's commit to finish thread_local support, Clang is now believed to be code-complete for full C++11 support.
As Clang usually releases twice a year, industry observers expect this means we will see at least one fully C++11-conforming commercial compiler available in the marketplace by this summer.
Congratulations, Clang development team!
Quick Q: How do you enable C++11 support on Android? -- StackOverflow
C++11 support is already available by default in many environments and platforms, but as it reaches new ones you may still need to turn it on explicitly. Android is an example:

Qt Creator 2.7.0: More C++11, and C++11 Now Default
Qt Creator 2.7.0 is now available, and includes more C++11 support including that C++11 mode is now on by default.
Qt Creator 2.7.0 Released
by Eike Ziller
C++ support in Qt Creator got even more improvements for C++11, like handling of
alignof,alignasand noexcept, brace initializers, and more lambda fixes. Also, if Qt Creator cannot find out if your tool chain expects C++11 or C++98/03, it defaults to C++11 now, for a better out of the box experience.
