Boost 1.38.0 has been released and is available from SourceForge. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/ Great work!
There's no tag for this one in SVN. Is that an oversight, or a new policy?
That was done this morning. I've also updated the Release Managers Checklist to do that earlier in the release process. See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ReleasePractices/ManagerCheckList
Thanks Beman. We pull the release straight from SVN (there's only a couple of us using Boost so it shouldn't be too big a drain on bandwidth I hope). I'm not sure how sensible that really is despite that though, but it does mean that we have a script that will fetch and build Boost, and do a few things so that we can keep multiple versions side by side. For people just starting with Boost this means for Linux/Mac/Windows they can just grab our scripts and have everything done for them whilst they're doing something more interesting. The scripts are available here: http://svn.felspar.com/external/Boost/ I guess I should add a readme describing what happens as they go about things... K
