You mean I've been needlessly worrying and nagging everyone about this for the past 6 weeks? Couldn't someone have told me, or marked the ticket closed, or done _something_ to indicate that we weren't going to have the problem with 1.36? What a huge waste of everyone's bandwidth!
Note... I did close the ticket at the time. It was reopened at some point.
That would have been me. Note that building static libraries does not fix the issue for msvc users, and the instructions are I believe still wrong: the problem is that for msvc it's not enough to simply have built the static libraries as well: they need to have been built against the correct msvc-runtime-variant as well. So for example, a new user who creates a VC++ project, adds a Boost example program to it, and tries to build... will get linker errors because the debug versions of the Boost libraries haven't been built by default, while the MSVC IDE will be expecting them by default.
