Re: [Boost-users] boost 1.40 beta libs, no longer include compiler version/boost version ?

When building boost 1.40 the libraries produced don't include compiler version or boost version any more ?

i.e boost 1.38 bjam --build-dir=./tmpBuildDir toolset=gcc stage link=static --with-date_time libboost_date_time-gcc42-mt.a -> libboost_date_time-gcc42-mt-1_38.a

with boost 1.40 beta bjam --build-dir=./tmpBuildDir toolset=gcc stage link=static --with-date_time libboost_date_time.a

Is this expected or a bug ?

Per http://beta.boost.org: The default naming of libraries in Unix-like environment now matches system conventions, and does not include various decorations. Does this answer your question? - Volodya
