The build regression tests are still failing across the board. http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/summary.html http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/release/developer/summary.html This is not acceptable. Having tests that always fail requires viewers to make an unwanted mental exception and sends the wrong message to other developers. The tests should either be fixed or marked up. If they aren't really tests at all, but are just informational like some in the config library, they should be changed to return 0 and "<test-info>always_show_run_output" should be added to the Jamfile. If the build test failures can't be cleared from the reporting, the tests themselves should be removed. --Beman
