[Boost-users] iostreams: ceased devolopment?

Hi, I noticed that there are numerous issues in the bug list, regarding boost iostreams. However, the current doc states Copyright 2004-2007 and Tickets do not receive responses. (I even read: "(I tried e-mailing Jonathan Turkanis directly, but the e-mail address on the website seems to be not used anymore)" in ticket 7574. So, my question is: I anyone maintaining this library? If not: I doubt that there is a good alternative, because iostreams just is convenient to use and a selling point to for boost. It would be a pitty. Best regards, Christian
