There are some changes that I'm not included right now. Basically these are the original versions of certain modules located in the boost directory. E.G boost/static_warning.hpp. The serialization library doesn't use them any more and each one has been modified to include a #error -... in case someone has used them. I haven't recieved any reports that this has broken anything so I'm presuming that no other library - and perhaps no user application is including them. The question of whether these should be removed is separate from the above. I just thought I'd post this comment before removing them.

Hi Robert, The reason you haven't had any user complaints is that there hasn't been a release with the new #error-ing version, has there? It's a racing certainty that if you did do such a release then you would get requests to make the old behaviour work when a #define was set (BOOST_PERMIT_DEPRECATED_STATIC_WARNING or something). These files have had a strange status though so perhaps being more cavalier than usual with deprecation is possible. On an implementation note - why do you have an unconditional #error for all compilers and then follow that up with a couple of conditional #{pragma message,warning}s for various compilers... the latter seem redundant (see e.g. http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/trunk/boost/static_warning.hpp) Pete
