It's been deprecated *since the dawn of time*. I planned post an announcement together with library update announcement.
Still, developers like to avoid broken regression tests; they're upsetting to developers at best. A simple post with advance warning that you were going to remove BOOST_TEST would have given everyone an opportunity to prevent a large swath of red squares.
What's wrong with red squares? Isn't it a basic paradigm of TDD? You make change - you fix all the test cases that failed. Failing test cases is your announcement that something needs to be done. Anyway 3 years should've been enough to get rid of tools that were announced deprecated. Gennadiy
