Can't people still working with this just use 1.33.x version of boost? That won't suddenly stop working. The same goes for the other compilers in the list. And yes, we use Borland 5.6.4 and so we've just been proposed to be dropped, but given that some libraries already have stopped supporting it, such as ublas, spirit (that ships with boost) and it was also mentioned a while back that the new filesystem lib won't, the we have trouble moving forward because we make use of these libraries.
Note that the big difference between Borland and the other compilers is that they are a static target - 'just use Boost 1.33.1' is therefore good advice. Borland is still a moving target. The IS no supported version of boost for the current compiler, and if support is dropped now there will never be one. -- AlisdairM
