This is normally requires no alteration of code. It does mean that types that derive from iterator_range may need to prefix `this->` to the various member functions. Additionally it has been noted that some calling code was relying on member functions such as `size()` being present despite the underlying iterators not being random-access due to `iterator_reference::type` not being a reference. The suggested refactoring is to use `boost::size(rng)`. # The undocumented __iterator_range__ `pop_front()` has been deprecated and is replaced by `drop_front(). Similarly `pop_back()` has been replaced by `drop_back()`. [endsect] [section:upgrade_from_1_49 Upgrade from version 1.49] # __size__ now returns the type Rng::size_type if the range has size_type; otherwise range_size::type is used. This is the distance type promoted to an unsigned type. [endsect] [section:upgrade_from_1_45 Upgrade from version 1.45] # __size__ in addition to supporting __random_access_range__ now also supports extensibility via calls to the unqualified `range_calculate_size(rng)` function. # __range_adaptors_strided__ now in addition to working with any RandomAccessRange additionally works for any SinglePassRange for which `boost::size(rng)` is valid. # __range_adaptors_strided__ no longer requires `distance(rng) % stride_size == 0` or `stride_size < distance(rng)` [endsect] [section:upgrade_from_1_42 Upgrade from version 1.42] New features: # __range_adaptors__ # __range_algorithms__ Removed: # `iterator_range` no longer has a `is_singular` member function. The singularity restrictions have been removed from the `iterator_range` class since this added restrictions to ranges of iterators whose default constructors were not singular. Previously the `is_singular` member function always returned `false` in release build configurations, hence it is not anticipated that this interface change will produce difficulty in upgrading. [endsect] [section:upgrade_from_1_34 Upgrade from version 1.34] Boost version 1.35 introduced some larger refactorings of the library: # Direct support for character arrays was abandoned in favor of uniform treatment of all arrays. Instead string algorithms can use the new function __as_literal__`()`. # __size__ now requires a __random_access_range__. The old behavior is provided as __distance__`()`. # `range_size::type` has been completely removed in favor of `range_difference::type` # `boost_range_begin()` and `boost_range_end()` have been renamed `range_begin()` and `range_end()` respectively. # `range_result_iterator::type` and `range_reverse_result_iterator::type` have been renamed `range_iterator::type` and `range_reverse_iterator::type`. # The procedure that makes a custom type work with the library has been greatly simplified. See __extending_for_udts__ for details. [endsect] [endsect]
