I suggest that the web pages http://www.boost.org/users/news/version_1_37_0 etc should clearly advertise any breaking changes. Maybe this page should have a section titled "Breaking changes" or "Compatibility" or something like that.
During the beta testing people should be encouraged to report any breaking changes that have not been advertised on this page.
I agree with what you write and would suggest going slightly further: the "Compatibility" section should be a living document *forever*. The case at hand shows that breaking changes are not reliably detected in the beta period. Cheers, -Steve
