As always, the release managers appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give it a try. Report both success and failure.
I'm concerned about the number of failures showing for Build, Python, and Thread libraries. See http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/release/developer/summary.html. We need to fix those before the final release, but I don't want to hold the beta up any more.
Actually, as far as Boost.Build tests are concerned, there's no particular emergency. Historically, those tests tend to care a lot about testing environment, so one better look only on gcc and msvc test results. Those reveal that 'print' test is failing everywhere -- which is something I've missed, but is not important. Also, pch test appear to fail on gcc 4.5 -- which is something that really has to be fixed. - Volodya
