For this release candidate the naming is exactly the same as it will be in the final release. Unless a showstopper emerges, these exact files will become the final release.

Before declaring the release done, we need to verify that none of the four package files is corrupt and installs without error. I'm starting to do that now. I encourage others to also look for showstoppers, and report results on the developer or user lists.

All four package files downloaded, unpacked, and installed without problems. --Beman

This is a showstopper for me right now, though I am by no means an expert at running bjam. On a Windows (server 2003) 64-bit platform with MSVC 9.0 I am trying to build the major permutations of the library in both 32- and 64-bit variants. I was able to find command lines that appear to do the job for the 32-bit, debug/release, shared/static combinations and for the static combinations in 64-bit mode. I'm getting the following output when I try to build shared libraries for 64-bit, with "shared" or "static" or no specification for link and runtime-link C:\code\Version9\boost>bjam --toolset=msvc msvc/architecture=x86/address-model=64/runtime-link=shared/link=shared debug stage warning: Graph library does not contain optional GraphML reader. note: to enable GraphML support, set EXPAT_INCLUDE and EXPAT_LIBPATH to the note: directories containing the Expat headers and libraries, respectively. warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam. note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam. note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message.
