We're asking so that we can form an idea of when we should set the cutoff. But I can tell you that late December will undoubtedly be too late. :-(
OK, then I will try to get TTI will into 1.50. I just do not have the time to finish it before the holidays for 1.49.
But I do think that Boost needs to specify, for each release date, the cutoff date for libraries to make it into that release. If that can not be done then it is difficult for the developer of a new library to know if he can finish work in time for a given release. Is it not possible to publish somewhere, a priori, when each release is expected to come out as well as the cutoff date for new libraries to be ready for that release ?
It is usually published on the Boost calendar (see http://www.boost.org/development/index.html).
That is really a poor way for anybody to determine when Boost release dates and cutoff dates occur. Even moving through the calendar by month tells me nothing about this. How about some page where the release dates and cutoff dates are mentioned for the next for the next release at the very least ?
If you switch the calendar to the agenda tab you get that list of dates.
There is nothong there about Boost 1.49, Boost 1.50 etc. etc.
As we've been saying, the 1.49 schedule is in flux, bear with us. -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
