Boost release 1.43.0 beta 1 is now available from SourceForge
See http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/
There are two new libraries (Meta State Machine and Polygon) in this release, and lots of fixes and improvements to existing libraries.
For details of what's in the release, see http://beta.boost.org/users/news/version_1_44_0. Note that the links to files on this web page are for the final release - use the SourceForge link above to get the beta files.
Please download the beta, give it a try, and report any problems you encounter.
Thanks,

() export LANG=C removes the exception, but that's not a very good solution, of course... I also encountered some new (compared to 1.41) warnings when I built some of my own code: Algorithm: ------------------ Calls like boost::local_time::local_date_time localTime(date, timeOfDay, timeZone_, boost::local_time::local_date_time::NOT_DATE_TIME_ON_ERROR) lead to boost/algorithm/string/detail/find_format_store.hpp:74:18: warning: unused parameter ‘Input’ Since that should be trivial to be fixed, I'd be grateful, if the warning could be removed in the release version :-) Archive/Serialization: ---------------------------- boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:57:33: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:93:33: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:130:27: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:164:38: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type boost/serialization/collection_size_type.hpp:40:33: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type Again, these are trivial to be fixed by removing the obsolete const qualifier. Please, with sugar on top :-) Regards, Roland
