Re: [Boost-users] on-line documentation, boost 1.34, etc.

Hi.
Several question, slightly unrelated:
1) To read the last version of documentation I go to http://www.boost.org/doc/html/index.html. But this list counts only 15 libraries. Next, going to http://www.boost.org/doc/html/libraries.html, we see the same list of 15 libraries with sub-links, but just after that "Libraries Listed Alphabetically" contains already much more libraries. Just a bug?
The page http://www.boost.org/doc/html/index.html contains those Boost libs which are documented using a tool called BoostBook. Not all Boost libs are documented with BoostBook; the complete list can be obtained at: http://boost.org/libs/libraries.htm which is where you get to from the main Boost page link "Documentation". As to http://www.boost.org/doc/html/libraries.html, this BoostBook-produced page attempts to list every library in Boost, be it documented with BoostBook or not, but in fact it's missing some entries, so you better rely on the link I give above. I don't know if this lack of some entries must e categorized as a bug or as an unmaintained spot to be removed.
2) Where can I see documentation of "coming soon" boost 1.34? Especially documentation for new libraries... I tried to find it in CVS, but in http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/doc/html/ I didn't find even "index.html".
Using the CVS web browser, go to libs/libraries.htm under the branch RC_1_34_0: http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/libs/libraries.htm? view=log&pathrev=RC_1_34_0 There you can find the complete list of all libraries coming into Boost 1.34. If you're interested in new libraries, go to the main index.htm under RC_1_34_0: http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/index.htm? view=log&pathrev=RC_1_34_0 Also, Boost Consulting kindly hosts the entire Boost site in its current CVS form at http://boost-consulting.com/boost/ It is the main trunk of the CVS that is published here, which strictly speaking does not have to be the same as RC_1_34_0 (for instance, it may contain material scheduled for 1.35) for in general differences are few.
Why some new libraries already have nice documentation, but this documentation cannot be found in logical (?) locations (ASIO e.g., http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/libs/asio/doc/ is empty)?
ASIO has not yet been integrated into Boost. I guess it'll be by Boost 1.35.
3) What is the easiest way (better "what is the right place") to investigate with libraries (and their docs) that are planned for inclusion to boost 1.34?
Hopefully answered above.
Thank you in advance!
