Hi,
It's been a long while since I merged any changes into boost release and by now there are whole bunch of new features there. Some are small, but some others are big ones such that they can change the way people use the library. I'd like to list them here (excluding bug fixes and removal of deprecated interfaces) and ask what should we do with these. Specifically let me know if you think these require some kind of (mini) review from community, but any other comments are welcome as well.
I couldn't really determine from the recent thread titled "[boost] [test] new features use c++11 features" whether this new and improved Test unconditionally or conditionally would use C++11 features? I know you all are all up in arms about moving the "state of the language forward" and all, but it'd be a bit sad if a rather important piece of Boost infrastructure suddenly became unusable without any rationale or warning. Call me a luddite, but I like when my code can continue to benefit from library bugfixes and improvements. Staying on legacy Boost doesn't help anyone. I really don't like playing whack-a-mole on every single C++11 creep into Boost, but it seems that unless checked, it poisons everything. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
