Hi, here they are a list of 26 feature requests for Boost.Thread. The features are classified as high, middle and low cost (form my point of view of course) I would like to know which features would you like to find on the next release. Please could you choose 3 features and if possible one for each category, the idea been to provide 1 high, 1 middle and 2 low features for the next release.
