Hi, I would like to apply the following patch to trunk and release branch to avoid the Boost.Thread breaking changes. * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6229 #6229] Rename the unique_future to future following the c++11. * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6266 #6266] Breaking change: thread destructor should call terminate if joinable. * [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6269 #6269] Breaking change: thread move assignment should call terminate if joinable. This will let us the time to discuss the best way to manage with this breaking changes. Is someone against this late change?
