Will 1.45 incorporate active regression tickets? I.e., report {30} <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report/30>
Several of these could be incorporated without too much work. I think a scan of these would be worth the release managers' time.
While I'm not a release manager, I looked at a few of them; and I'm wondering if there's a disagreement here about what constitutes a "regression". To me, that means that the code has "regressed", or gotten worse. Something that worked in a previous release no longer works - that's a "regression" Something that didn't work before is a "bug". If a new test is added, and it fails on some platforms - that's a "bug". Something that's being tested on a new OS/CPU/compiler and doesn't work - that's a "bug". It's possible, however, that other people are using these terms to mean different things. Anyone else want to chime in? -- Marshall
