But version of lexical_cast from trunk work very well. Version information: 1.46.1 - rev. 56161 13.09.2009 trunk - rev.65279 5.09.2010
1) Is there any reason that release does not include last version lexical_cast from trunk? 2) May be there are a lot of such forgotten files in trunk?
There is also some mess with tickets for lexical_cast : some tickets are in bug database for months (and even years).

Does that mean lexical_cast is orphaned? I'd like to see lexical_cast have optimized conversions for string->number and number->string (template specializations using strtol/strtod; or optionally using the spirit-based construe_cast). Being able to pass ios flags to control the format (i.e. boolalpha) would be nice too [...] Which reminds me - lexical_cast error messages are not very informative[...]
Agreed. This should be added as well[...]

I can take care about some of this issues, but if lexical_cast is orphaned and not maintained any more it`ll be just wasting time. - Antony
