[boost] Re: 1.31.0 regressions

I expect that dropping vc6 support in Boost.Python in the next couple of years would significantly reduce its audience, so I can't justify it, (maybe not until Python's standard Windows distribution drops VC6 also). That fact has caused me to implement vc6 support in other libraries that Boost.Python depends on. Thereafter, if the library breaks, it's a regression. It's viral :(

Yes, but we have a very functional set of libraries in boost-1.30.2 and boost-1.31.0 so why not say older compilers are stuck to using these versions of boost? We're not saying they can't use boost, just not the latest version? Russell
