I have ripped out the std_min/std_max functions. They were a less-than-perfect solution to the problems caused by the min/max macros defined by some platform headers. I have fixed all the places in the Boost affected by this change, and I have also updated the coding guidelines.

Ehm... the guidelines are a bit contrived. Why did you decide to kill the definitions in minmax.hpp?

There are several substantial threads about why the old definitions didn't work. http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3cmemo.828774%40cix.compulin... http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c40D72DA7.3040500%40boost%2... -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
