Hi, I am particularly looking for the boost::interprocess package. Is there any plan for a release in the near future? Has someone been using this in their production environment now. I have a real need and am evaluating if it is complete enough (with not too many changes planned) for me to replace the existing IPC mechanism used by us (McAfee).
Interprocess will be out with Boost 1.35. Since Boost 1.34 is still unreleased and boost 1.33.1 was released December 2005, I'm afraid Interprocess won't be officially in Boost soon. Regarding changes, I'm planning binary breaking changes (basically, using intrusive containers for container and memory algorithm implementations) until it's released to improve performance and maybe some filename/class name changes because current files violate some Boost guidelines (names are too long). If you plan to make old McAfee processes compatible with future ones (maybe you just update all processes every product version and this is not an issue), you'll need to take an snapshot of current Interprocess or avoid using it until it's released.
