Looking at the regression test results, I'd like to call attention to these failures:

python: import_ on many platforms

These are particularly worrisome from the release management standpoint because they affect many platforms and because I'm not seeing any attempts to fix or markup by their developers.
<rant> I have written the above import_ test (as well as the features tested therein) prior to the 1.34 release, and made sure the test passes everywhere. I have not touched the code since then.
I have no idea what causes the current failures. (It's quite likely some runtime setting, such as controlled by the build system executing the tests.) However, I see a *lot* of changesets that are non-local by nature, such as modifications to the build system
Like, ehm, what? Revision numbers please. The only change I see is Rene's change to make things not fail hard if you don't have python configured. All the other changes in tools/build/v2 are either documentation fixes, or fixes in Boost.Build tests, or extra debug prints. - Volodya
