Release candidate files for 1.58.0 are available at: http://boost.cowic.de/rc/ Since rc1, the changes that were causing the serialization libraries to fail to build on MSVC have been reverted. As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy. This helps ensure the candidates build OK before we push them out to SourceForge. The files (and associated md5s) are: MD5 (boost_1_58_0_rc2.7z) = 43e0d47cc9f5f2a07761808b9da57c0a MD5 (boost_1_58_0_rc2.tar.bz2) = 52147381c97685eb045b5b022ad51a35 MD5 (boost_1_58_0_rc2.tar.gz) = cb33afaa557dea2f700bffec8a91d87e MD5 (boost_1_58_0_rc2.zip) = 412676a9a7d9903eb5a260209ad78f0a Thanks! -- The release managers P.S.
