VOLE is an open-source C++ library that dramatically simplifies the business of driving COM servers (via the IDispatch interface)
from C++.

VOLE is highly robust.

VOLE is very flexible, taking and returning normal C++ types, such as int, double, std::string, std::wstring, and so on.

VOLE is 100% header only.

VOLE is compiler-independent, and has been verified to work with the following compilers:

* Digital Mars 8.50+
* GCC 3.4+
* Intel 8+
* Metrowerks CodeWarrior 8
* Visual C++ 6.0+


Release 0.5.1 incorporates:
 * renamed coercion level nonDestructiveTruncation to nonDestructiveCoercion
 * added com_return_traits<float>
 * added com_return_traits<double>
 * changed behaviour for com_return_traits<bool>, com_return_traits<short>, com_return_traits<int>, com_return_traits<long>, com_return_traits<std::string> and com_return_traits<std::wstring>
 * added test.unit.return_traits.builtins
 * added test.unit.return_traits.std_types

Note: this release of VOLE requires STLSoft 1.9.48, or later. Download from http://stlsoft.org/downloads.html
