I'm asking because someone's just assigned a Boost.Interval issue to me: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4799#comment:1
Seems like there is a trivial fix in Trunk, but as the library appears not to have been maintained for while, it looks like none of the patches that some folks have applied to Trunk have been merged to release :-(
On a related note, I believe there are quite a few old and unmerged changes to the Utility lib as well.
According to the schedule Beman sent around earlier, we are now only taking showstopper fixes. Beman?
We really need to figure out a better way of dealing with this...
It currently requires a lot of discipline from each developer to make sure every change they apply to trunk also ends up in release. I wonder if commits to trunk to schedule a nag mail to be sent to the submitter a week later that says, "Did you check the tests? Did you merge to release?" Or open a track ticket that says, "merge changelist xxx to release." -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
