I'd suggest that we either:

* Slip out 1.55 on a shorter than usual cycle (no new libraries?) to be completed before the move to git begins, or... * Put out a 1.54.1 with bug fixes only on a short 2-3 week cycle, again before the move to git.

We can at least put patches up on the site. Recently I've been adding links to the release notes page, although I want to do something better.

Hey, that's great! I really appreciate the effort to collect together any stabilizing fixes after the release is made. Whether it's in the form of a point release, or links on the release notes page, it makes my job of integrating Boost into the Debian Linux distribution easier.

It would be nice if the distro maintainers would give feedback if they encountered some bugs in boost. I noticed that some (not necessary you) of those people write some bugfixes but do not inform the author of the boost-lib - that's a shame.
