Boost is used in a variety of Open Source Projects, both applications and libraries. Indeed many Open Source libraries developed around Boost have in the past been judged of high enough quality to be absorbed into the main Boost source tree, a process that will no doubt continue into the future. Others are in highly specialized niche markets, ranging from probability theory to astronomy, via mass spectroscopy: whatever your field of interest you'll find something of value in Boost.

VCS Made Easy VCS Made Easy, or vcsme for short, is an utility whose main purpose is to simplify the maintenance of file trees managed by a version control system, such as the well known CVS or Subversion. Simply put, it automates the process of bringing all these directories to an up-to-date status with a single and simple command. "The following Boost libraries were used: Format, Smart Pointers, Utility (noncopyable) and Filesystem." |
Monotone Monotone is a free distributed version control system.

Hydranode Engine Hydranode Engine is a plugin-driven P2P client engine that relies heavily on Boost libraries. Hydranode codebase is licenced under GNU GPL, and is developed mainly by Alo Sarv. Currently in Beta phase, Hydranode runs on wide range of platforms, including Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac OS, Solaris etc. "Hydranode Engine and plugins rely heavily on the following Boost libraries: Bind, Function, Lambda, MultiIndex, Signals, Threads, Smart Pointer, Format, Lexical Cast. Other Boost libraries being used include FileSystem, String Algorithm, Date Time, Program Options, Spirit, Random, Tokenizer, Type Traits, Tribool, Tuple and Any. Once Boost 1.33 is released, I'm also looking forward to using the Boost Iostreams library in Hydranode. All complex data structures in Hydranode are implemented using Multi Index containers, which significantly reduced development time and kept code clean. Format is being used for all text formatting. Having Threads and FileSystem libraries available made cross-platform development lot easier in those areas." |

CBCanaylzer CBCanaylzer is developed by the Department of Bioinformatics, at the University of Wuerzburg. "CBCAnalyzer (CBC = compensatory base change) is a tool to create small''
phylogenetic trees from sequence alignments. To measure the distance of sequences
the compensatory base changes are detected and counted. The bionj
algorithm is then used to construct a tree. CBCAnalyzer is available on
Windows, Linux and partly works on MacOSX. Boost libraries used: Program Options - creates really nice output, and is both easy to extend and simple to handle. Iterator, Spirit - Saved a lot of my time, and makes the vast amount of biological file formats simple to support, Shared Pointer, Lambda. |
Profdist Profdist is developed by the Department of Bioinformatics, at the University of Wuerzburg. "Profdist is a tool for the construction of large phylogenetic trees based on profile distances. The input alignment data gets extended by random picking of rows, and a clustering technique is used to create profiles of the most frequent subtrees. The iterative approach allows working on large datasets. Currently the application is very limited by the quality of wxWidgets, and only available for Windows and Linux. The Boost librarie used were: String Algorithms, Ref, Iterator, Spirit, Shared Pointer and Lambda." |
