Certain issues that cropped up with the 1.33.0 release that necessitate a 1.33.1 release. 1.33.1 will be for safe bug fixes to 1.33.0 only, focusing on critical issues such as the already-addressed shared_ptr problem. There are two major issues we need to resolve before we can roll a release candidate of 1.33.1:
- Include order dependencies in the Serialization library - GCC 4.0 type_info problems
Those should be targets for the final 1.33.1 release, but I'm not sure if we really need them for the *first* Beta release. I'd like to add a few more issues to be resolved for the final 1.33.1 as well: Config: support for EVC++ (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/07/90101.php), I've applied this to the main HEAD branch apparently without ill effect, so I think it's safe for the release branch also. Ulrich first raised this months ago, so I feel we owe him this one! Regex: I'd like to try and fix lookbehind assertions (http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2005/07/12655.php), it means adding at least one new API in order to fix this though, so it's borderline new feature. Threads: deadlocks in readwrite_mutex (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/08/92307.php), assuming there isn't a mistake in the test case then we could really use someone to look into this as a priority, a threading lib that deadlocks is not too good an advert! Threads: memory leak, this need documenting and explaining if it isn't already, and if we can't get rid of it (I suspect we can't). MPL: the has_xxx boilerplate is failing with vacpp (http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/output/...) which causes all the regex tests to fail with that compiler. I'm pretty sure this *did* work at one point, and the error messages seem rather strange, so any ideas on this one would be welcome. Whew, That's all for now, John.
