RC2 files for 1.55.0 are available at http://boost.cowic.de/rc/

As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.

This helps ensure the candidates build OK before we push them out to SourceForge.

The files (and associated md5s) are: 93780777cfbf999a600f62883bd54b17 *boost_1_55_0_rc2.tar.gz d6eef4b4cacb2183f2bf265a5a03a354 *boost_1_55_0_rc2.tar.bz2 8aca361a4713a1f491b0a5e33fee0f1f *boost_1_55_0_rc2.zip 4e5bbc15fc8c80df8be428f8a5b5a823 *boost_1_55_0_rc2.7z

Thanks!

When is the release expected? (How long do we have to try building?)

We try to ship an RC on Wednesday, then release on Monday. If there are no problems found in this RC, I expect we'll release on Friday or Saturday.

Serialization still fails to build on VS2013. This is due to tickets #9279/#8750 not being merged to release from trunk. Robert sent me a direct email saying "See my previous post on this thread to see why we're stuck here." but I've not been able to figure out to what he's referring.

I'm also seeing the serialization failures with msvc-12.0.

MSVC-12 is the same as VS2013. The "2013" is the version number for the whole package, and "12" is the version of the compiler. -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software mailto:mclow.lists@gmail.com A.D. 1517: Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the church door and is promptly moderated down to (-1, Flamebait). -- Yu Suzuki
