# Introduction

SGP is a collection of general-purpose C++ utilities, together in a single C++
library. These utilities are not related to each other - they were just
collected during the development of other projects.

[[TODO|TODO/OPEN]] write about them, at least the more useful ones...

During most of its existence, including now, SGP has been a mess. But now, as
other components begin to depend on it, it will be reorganized and documented.

SGP is part of the Partager project.

The [[releases]] page provides a news feed of SGP's releases. The first one on
the list is the most recent release. SGP is still very young so there is no
stability guarantee. On the other hand some things won't change much anyway, and
you can just ask if you plan to use some part. Or copy the code into your
projects.

# History

I started SGP while working on a GUI application for personal task/project
management, called Sylva. I noticed some parts of the code were generally useful
for C++ coding, and decided to start a new library "Sylva General Purpose" for
that code. Since then I stopped working on Sylva (although it will hopefully
come back in another form later, and its code and ideas will be reused), but SGP
remained and got more code I wrote while working on later projects.
