The final release is scheduled for Monday, June 25th. The release candidate is scheduled to to be built Thursday, June 21st. That gives us two weeks to apply post-beta bug fixes and doc updates.
Let's try a slightly more streamlined procedure for this post-beta period; until Monday, June 18th permission is not required to merge bug fixes and documentation updates. Starting June 18th permission of a release manager is required for all merges.
As always, New libraries and new features are not allowed during a post-beta period.
I've merged fixes from trunk for Boost.Parameter (boost/parameter/preprocessor.hpp and boost/parameter/aux_/cast.hpp). Fixes allow to access the parameter type tag::x::_ within other parameter declarations (this is a key feature of Boost.Parameter which was broken in 1.50.0 Beta 1). I've tested the merged release branch locally on MSVC 8.0, GCC 4.5.3 with and without C++11 features (-std=c++0x). All Boost.Parameter tests passed locally. I'll be monitoring the release regression tests closely. NOTE: I noticed that more tests were added to Boost.Parameter in trunk. I did not merge the new tests into release because changing the tests would changed the pass/fail criteria in the middle of the release (not just bug fixes). IMO, the new Boost.Parameter tests should be merged into 1.51. Thanks. --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/1-50-0-Release-branch-open-for-bug-fixes-...
