Does anyone know when 1.34.0 is going to be released? Even approximately?

Nope. We're working on clearing away the regressions. You can watch the progress here: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/de veloper/issues.html (regressions are red squares). Note however that the msvc-8 failures are because of an installation mistake on the tester's part.

you wanna be so kind as to EXPLAIN the mistake I made??

No, I don't. These were from Sean Wang's results, and the MSVC installation mistake was immediately apparent from looking at the error messages (now fixed so you can't see it).

Apologies. Given that there are exactly TWO msvc-8.0 testers (I didn't know a new one had shown up) and I couldn't find anything particularly different in my setup for several months it seems reasonable to believe the message was about _my_ testing setup.

I haven't touched that bzip junk in ages?

Don't know what that means.

well, if you looked at some of the red squares under RudbekAssociates msvc-8_0 and drill down iostreams it would be pellucidly clear.

IMO the mistake is in the way the scripts are updated and the fact that you guys NEVER mention that the testers must do somehting to accomodate the fact that you developers seem incapable of creating a "hands off" testing system.

Calm down, Victor. Boost can't be expected to be responsible for making it easier for anyone to correctly install development tools not provided by us.

Are you implying that the boost test and regression system is NOT provided by boost? Hmmm.
