What are the chances that I'll be able to merge a bug fix to the release branch? This one: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2157 just came in, and I've already fixed it on trunk. Assuming that the next cycle of the trunk tests don't show anything amiss, would I be permitted to merge the fix?

Yes, although it may not appear in the beta.

The bug will not cause crashes, but it will lead to incorrect results when matching the end-of-line assertion ($) against internal line breaks, which is fairly common usage scenario. I have high confidence in the fix.

These are the relevant changesets: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/47899 http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/47901
