Version 1.33.1 is from the stone age (remember boost is moving faster than light[ning]) and I always expect things to be broken the next time (which is not nice, but compared to the problems solved by boost this still can be neglected).
What I would personally like to see is boost split into 2 parts, something like boost core, and boost general. Boost core would contain all the stable libraries and the core libraries that other people build libraries off. Shared_ptr, bind, lambda, iterator, operators, range, ublas, etc.
So what happens to the iterators library when it's time for the rewrite I've been planning? I intend, as much as possible, to maintain compatibility with the old interfaces, of course. Is that still a "stable" library? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
