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:
	ba1ae723b8b4d1edeca684bb14b3213b	*boost_1_55_0_rc1.tar.gz

Thanks!

Several issues are still present in this release candidate.

Thanks for pointing these out!

The following issues all still exist in this release candidate. Each issue has an appropriate patch already in Trac.

• boost/property_tree/detail/json_parser_write.hpp:35: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5598
• Remove unused parameter warning in property tree json parser: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6582
  

• Copy constructor for transform_width has an initialization order reversal: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7990

• Output of "bcp build filesystem <output>" doesn't build: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8812
  

That's what I would do, yes.

Bugs that haven't been fixed in trunk probably won't make it into the 1.55 release.

They'll need to be fixed on trunk, then we'll need time for all the testers to cycle to make sure that it didn't break anything.
