Hi everyone, May I know if there are any potential mentors for my Boost.uBlas data frames project proposal besides Mr. David Bellot? He has not been responding to messages lately. Not sure if it is because of the recent Covid-19 situation. Best regards, Tom

[geometry] Global Boost documentation for master not refreshed?
by Mateusz Loskot 27 Mar '20

27 Mar '20

Hi, A long while ago there was a problem in Boost.Geometry [1] that caused addition of unwanted sections to the global docs: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/#lib-geometry-extensions https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/#lib-geometry-index and the problem [1] has been fixed a while ago in the Geometry, in both branches develop and master. [1] https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/issues/585 The global docs for the develop branch look fixed, no unwanted sections, just the one we want: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop#lib-geometry The global docs for the master branch still lists one of the two unwanted sections https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master#lib-geometry-extensions Why is that? Are we still waiting for the rebuild or something had not cleaned up correctly before the last rebuild? Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[geometry] Planning switch to C++11
by Mateusz Loskot 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

Hi, We are planning to switch Boost.Geometry to C++11 https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/issues/590 Is the following procedure sensible: 1. Warn users on the Boost mailing lists about the planned switch to C++11 2. Make the switch (update the codebase) 3. Release the Boost.Geometry as C++11 e.g. with Boost 1.75 4. Announce on the Boost mailing lists that Boost.Geometry requires C++11 Are there any recommendations or requirements on how we should proceed? Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
