The iostreams regression tests are looking a LOT better. Great!
I see that everything is failing on gcc-2.95.3-linux. I'm going to mark this toolset as unusable: nobody expects iostreams-anything to work with GCC 2.95.x's non-templated iostreams, and the maintenance burden far outweighs any advantage.
Actually, it took only a few hours several months ago to make the whole library work on gcc 2-95. The current problem are a result of two issues: - iterator_range doesn't work on gcc 2.95. I made it work on this platform some time ago, but subsequent changes have broken it again. I haven't got around to fixing it but it should be fairly trivial. - Apparently gcc 2.95 with old iostreams is confused by boost::iostreams::char_traits, which may need to be explicitly qualified. At any rate, I don't much care if gcc-2.95 is marked unusable, but infact it probably will be usable.
The bzip2, gzip, and zlib tests are failing on Windows. I can't tell if this is a configuration error on the testers' machines or if it's a build issue in the iostreams library. I'll take a shot at reproducing the problem this evening.
I've been delaying posting configuration information on the testing list, since I didn't want to have to correct it later. But since we've run out of time, I'll do it now. Best, Jonathan
