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 ? Best regards, Ta, Avi

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

For those who use CMake and the (very useful) FindBoost.cmake script, is that going to also be patched to deal with new library naming conventions? Will that be a breaking change, or will it be backward compatible?

This is question for the maintainers of FindBoost.cmake; to the best of my knowledge, none of them is on this list. I *guess* it used to have support for system layout already, anyway. - Volodya

Yes, and it still does, so no changes are required. Thank you to whoever posted to the CMake mailing list about the issue though.
