I will. However, only as soon as I have Internet at home since I can't
write it by heart. (I've moved to another city so this may still take a
few days, depending on the speed of our telephone company...)

Rewritten from scratch making excessive use of c++ templates. Visible
advantages affect the interface.
Performance is more or less the same; probably +/-10% depending on the
system. Slightly less memory consumption. If you are used to template
code of that kind the structure and the code is clearer than in
libsigc++-1.x.
