Hi there,
first of all thanks for a great beta release. I have tested it with a fairly complex application of mine, making heavy use of serialization (the core dumps reported in a recent thread on the user's list seem to be gone - great, thanks Robert :-), boost.threads, boost.asio, boost.bind, and smart pointers. I have so far run into *no major* difficulties, but will of course report issues as they arise.
*** A small, but from my point of view still significant, nuisance is that bug report 2091 doesn't appear to have been fixed, although it is easy to cure with a change of
typedef dst_adjustment_offsets<time_duration_type> dst_adjustment_offsets;
to
typedef boost::date_time::dst_adjustment_offsets<time_duration_type> dst_adjustment_offsets;
in line 161 of <BOOSTROOT>/boost/date_time/tz_db_base.hpp .
Alternatively it is possible to rename the typedef in line 161 and in the 2 or so subsequent occurances. ***
In the absence of this fix, I need to patch Boost on many recent Linux patforms (at least a current Debian Lenny and OpenSUSE 11, but likely others as well, if they have a g++ 4.3.x Compiler).\
I'll try to make sure we apply as many of these date-time patches as possible before the release, but it will be Monday or Tuesday before I get a chance to work on it. In the meantime, if anyone with write permission has date-time patches Jeff has OK'ed stable on trunk, please go ahead and merge them to branches/release. The release test reporting has started to cycle again. Thanks for the report! --Beman
