boost version?

Submitted by Fellow Traveler on Wed, 06/13/2012 - 23:30.

Is 4.0 the boost version, and 5.0 is the C++x11 version?

Just clarifying...

You got it

Yup, you got it. Admittedly, it's a little confusing. We had played with the idea of calling it ChaiScript(Boost) and ChaiScript(C++11) but decided against it.
