I thought we have another opportunity to merge bug fix and cycle test once ? Isn't 1.43 scheduled for May, 3rd ?
This is a real show-stopper which fix won't broke anything
The beta cycle is more about fixing regressions caused by changes to boost, rather than existing problems or problems caused by external changes. But the real problem here is that no one has accepted the ticket. If the library was actively maintained, then IMO this would be fine (after testing, naturally).
I've seen the ticket, but the scope/urgency of the issue (show stopper for Fusion and Xpressive) wasn't apparent to me from the ticket's description. My experience as a release manager (admittedly from a long time ago) was that release-critical issues will slip past even the most active library maintainers, and letting them know about it (and occasionally nagging) goes a long way towards "all green" release. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
