So if you downloaded RC2, please post a reply indicating what you've done with it, even if no problems or issues were detected. That way I can better gauge release readiness.
I compiled the RC2 with GCC 4.1.3 on Kubuntu and GCC 3.3.6 on Debian. All compiled well on GCC4 except for a few warnings. With GCC3, all compiled well too except Boost.Wave: it fails on a assertion in debug mode, and on a link error for release mode and dynamic link.
Debug mode error:
gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/wave/build/gcc-3.3.6 /debug/threading- multi/instantiate_cpp_exprgrammar.o In file included from boost/wave/wave_config.hpp:201, from libs/wave/src/instantiate_cpp_exprgrammar.cpp:11: boost/wave/util/flex_string.hpp: In member function `void boost::wave::util::AllocatorStringStorage<E, A>::append(ForwardIterator, ForwardIterator)': boost/wave/util/flex_string.hpp:709: error: syntax error before `;' token boost/wave/util/flex_string.hpp:709: error: syntax error before `;' token [...]
This is caused by an assertion construct apparently not understood by some compilers. I removed this assertion for now. Everything should compile from now on.
Release mode link error:

This is now a Wave problem, but some platform specific bug. Regards Hartmut
