Hi Gennadiy,
I have some more questions if you don't mind. Unfortunately, I'm a bit disappointed about how easy it's possible to break backward compatibility between close releases of Boost.
Boost.Test *is* backward compartible. It's not forward compartible though. Meaning you couldn't use new examples with old library. Some features are indeed getting deprecated. But usually it takes 2-3 releases at least (in time frame it's close to 1-2 years). Unless you have any particular issues using old example with new library, do you? Gennadiy
