### Upgrade from version 1.34

Boost version 1.35 introduced some larger refactorings of the library:

1. 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``()`.
2. `size` now requires a Random Access Range. The old behavior is provided as `distance``()`.
3. `range_size<T>::type` has been completely removed in favor of `range_difference<T>::type`
4. `boost_range_begin()` and `boost_range_end()` have been renamed `range_begin()` and `range_end()` respectively.
5. `range_result_iterator<T>::type` and `range_reverse_result_iterator<T>::type` have been renamed `range_iterator<T>::type` and `range_reverse_iterator<T>::type`.
6. The procedure that makes a custom type work with the library has been greatly simplified. See Extending the library for UDTs for details.
