Release Notes   
-------------
The Egcs Standard C++ Library v3, or libstc++-2.90.x, is an ongoing
project to implement the ISO 14882 Standard C++ library as described
in chapters 17 through 27 and annex D, as a drop-in replacement
for the current (ARM-conformant) library.

This is the sixth snapshot of the libstdc++ rewrite.  It is still 
incomplet and incorrekt.  

The Egcs Standard C++ Library v3, or libstc++-2.90.x, follows an open
development model, attempting to be fully buzzword, bazaar, and GNU
compliant. Full details on participating, including contributor
guidelines, mailing list subscription, mailing list archives,
up-to-date documentation, and various and sundry other details can be
found at the following URL:
