We are going to do a point release next week. branches/release is now open for merging bug fixes only, including documentation fixes.
As always, please make sure the fix is stable on trunk before merging to release.
The cutoff for merging is noon Eastern US time on Tuesday, March 8th. We have to hold to a tight schedule because of other commitments later in the month.
I just entered a documentation ticket #5258 (apologies if I didn't get the correct components and version settings...). It looks like there was at least one important fix for the Iostreams library that occurred in V1.46. The fix was for ticket #4590 However, there is no end user documentation (release notes) that this fix occurred. It would be nice if a note could be added to the library release notes for this release. To help out I added a proposed patch to the above ticket which contains a change for the iostreams library release notes documentation (I hope this looks okay). Ideally it would be nice if a note could be added to the relevant "http://www.boost.org/users/download/version_1_46_0" what's new page for iostreams too. I would have added a quick patch for this too, but I don't know where this lives in the source tree (the contents of above patch is probably all that needs to be added).
