## Boost 1.33.1 release

- For ordered and hashed indices, `erase(it)` and `erase(first,last)` now return an iterator to the element following those being deleted (previously nothing was returned), in accordance with the C++ Standard Library Defect Report 130 and issue 6.19 of TR1 Issues List.
- Boost.MultiIndex offers the usual guarantees with respect to multithreading code provided by most STL implementations:
  1. Concurrent access to different containers is safe.
  2. Concurrent read-only access to the same container is safe.
  In previous versions of the library, the latter guarantee was not properly maintained if the safe mode was set. This problem has been fixed now.
- Maintenance fixes.

## Boost 1.33 release

- Added hashed indices, whose interface is based on the specification for unordered associative containers by the C++ Standard Library Technical Report (TR1).
- Added serialization support for Boost.Serialization.
- Destruction of `multi_index_container`s and `clear` memfuns now perform faster.
- Internal changes aimed at reducing the length of symbol names generated by the compiler; cuts of up to a 50% can be achieved with respect to the Boost 1.32 release. This results in much shorter and more readable error messages and has also a beneficial impact on compilers with strict limits on symbol name lengths. Additionally, a section on further reduction of symbol name lengths has been added.
- Restructured some parts of the documentation, new examples.
- Maintenance fixes.
