That would be a good time.

I remember Boost.Test's maintainer stating that he would close some open tickets that have been fixed only once the fixed release is out. So there seem to be a disagreement on this?

My opinion is that as long as a fixed issue have an explicit associated changeset id or release target, then closing it once it's done should be ok.

Like so many things in Boost, this is up to the individual library developers. In general, what _I_ do is: 1) update the ticket when a fix is committed to develop. 2) Close the ticket when the fix is merged to master. — Marshall
