hi all, i was looking thru the boost cvs recently, and i saw a signals & slots implementation in the cvs, but as far as i can tell, it's not a part of the standard boost libs.. anyone know it's fate, and if there are plans to include it in the next boost release? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The Signals library was accepted as a Boost library several months ago and will become part of the Boost libraries with the next release. Doug

That is awesome. Oddly enough - I was just on the Boost site looking to see if they had something like this. :-) The next thing I did (literally) was checked my mail, and this was the first message. When is that next release coming? (I am a relatively new user of Boost so I don't know the release schedule yet, if they even have regular releases...) -- Bobby --------------------------------------------------------------------- Bobby Thomale Senior Software Developer Inoveon Corporation http://www.inoveon.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no real release schedule for Boost. At some point, someone says 'there's a bunch of new stuff in CVS, let's do a release' and after a few weeks of stabilization/regression testing work we release a new version. I would expect that the next release will be within a month from now. If you're feeling brave, you can always use CVS versions of Boost until the next release. Doug

It's okay. I can wait a month. I am not that brave. :-) (Or in that big a rush.) I was really just wanting to glance over the documentation - I found the source in the CVS repository but not the docs. Is there a place I should be looking in the repository where the HTML documentation is hiding? Or is there just not documentation for Signal yet? -- Bobby --------------------------------------------------------------------- Bobby Thomale Senior Software Developer Inoveon Corporation http://www.inoveon.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------

You can find it under "libs/signals/doc". HTH, Markus

boost/libs/signals/doc contains all of the HTML documentation for the Signals library. The tutorial is undergoing a complete rewrite (and is unfinished), but otherwise the Signals documentation is complete and accurate. Doug
