For this release candidate the naming is exactly the same as it will be in the final release. Unless a showstopper emerges, these exact files will become the final release.
Before declaring the release done, we need to verify that none of the four package files is corrupt and installs without error. I'm starting to do that now. I encourage others to also look for showstoppers, and report results on the developer or user lists.
If no showstoppers surface by 9 AM tomorrow morning, US Eastern time, I'll declare 1.35.0 done, create the tag, and push the files out to Sourceforge.
Everything ran properly using configure && make check on Ubuntu 7.10. Serialization issues: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1711 http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1725 At least the tests should be updated to show proper workarounds if a new feature doesn't work properly across popular compilers (1711). I am not using the bleeding edge (g++ 4.1 - bleeding is 4.3?). I leave it up to you to decide the showstopping-ness of it all but the tests will fail (and so will code that tries to mimic the tests) on a lot of machines. Robert pinged Dave about the issue but I haven't heard anything more. Besides these two things, for some reason the doc files have the executable bits set on Linux which is strange, but not a real problem. This might be caused by packaging on Windows. Very good release, I think. I especially like the Boost Book documentation :-) -- Sohail Somani http://uint32t.blogspot.com
