The release managers have heard you. We're currently discussing a better plan. I'm personally very sorry for the poor way this has been managed. Look for an email from us shortly. I'm taking it upon myself to reopen the release branch for BUG FIXES ONLY (no new libraries). Please get your changes in as soon as is convenient and prudent. It should be open for at least a week. Then we'll require release manager approval. Please be sure trunk tests are clean before merging anything, as usual.
Thanks for your patience. We were all very busy in the run-up to BoostCon, and this got away from us. That's not an excuse, just an explanation.
Is this strict "bug fixes only", not allowing new features/changes in existing libraries?
Would it be a major inconvenience to hold new features until the next release cycle? That would be my preference, but I'm not speaking for all the release managers.
It would be for ScopeExit, LocalFunction, OverloadedFunction, and IdentityType because these libraries have been ready for a while (regression tested on all compilers, reviewed by managers and other library authors, etc). I didn't merge them into release simply because I was think I still had time and I had been busy at work in the last 2 weeks (I and Vicente asked for a 1.50 release date a few times more than 3 weeks ago but got no answer, not the release was closed the same day it was announced). I put a lot of effort into getting these libraries ready, they are ready, not to include them in 1.50 because of a miss-communication invalidates a large part of the effort I put into developing and testing this libraries...
