I agree that testing needs to be made more regular and thorough. However, IMO the universe of compilers and libraries is much too large --- and in some cases, the software is too expensive --- for us to check code with new versions of *all* compilers and *all* libraries. We need to select a subset against which we'll test.
I think we're forgetting here that although BoostPro offers commercial support for Boost releases in the form of consulting and enterprise support, it's all really a matter of how much volunteers can really give as far as committing resources is concerned.
Not really. The whole point of Boostpro Enterprise is that addressing those issues does *not* rest solely on the shoulders of volunteers. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
