Are there any 1.48.0 showstoppers outstanding? We are scheduled to release right now.
Well, there are 72 open tickets in Trac marked as "showstopper". :-
From the standpoint of shipping a release, at the end of a release cycle, about the only thing I consider a showstopper is something that makes most of Boost unusable, particularly for a popular platform. I also get concerned when a library, particularly a popular one, has a lot of failures.
IFAIK, none of those tickets come anywhere close to that level of concern. I'm guessing most were classified as "showstopper" because they were important to the submitter. --Beman
