There has been little feedback on the 1.40.0 beta release. I'm hoping that is a good sign:-)

Yes, that's a definite problem. Perhaps we might start a list of people willing to install beta's and/or release candidates and report back either success or failure. Come to think of it, perhaps we could write a script to do that, at least for Windows, Linux, and Apple.
We've just got a bug report on boost-users:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/47346
that say that install, on Linux, does not work, unless you specify --libdir option explicitly. 'stage' is not affected.
I am very sorry for letting this slip, but the question is what to do now. I've already fixed the problem on trunk:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/52754
How do we make this available to users?
1. Is release branch open now for all commits?
2. It is desirable to create new set of packages, with fixed version of bootstrap.sh? Alternatively, should it be in some 'hot-fix' area?
I'm not sure the best solution. A point release is a possibility. Let's try to figure out the best approach. --Beman
