Note, however, that gcc 4.2 is not a target compiler for the release; it's unlikely that anyone would agree to significant code changes in order to fix any problems that might be related to gcc 4.2. Consequently, I expect the gcc 4.2 test results only to be of informational value.
well, i have no idea about the release procedure of boost, but if bugs are known and not hard to fix, i don't see any reason, why they shouldn't be fixed for the 1.34.1 release ...
Possibly because every additional fix entails some risk of introducing regressions? When all's said and done it's a question of defining the scope of 1.34.1 . In my opinion the couple of weeks Thomas wrote about are way too short to add other compilers to those officially supported by 1.34.x . After all, why gcc and not Borland? Their new product is apparently due out in a few weeks time... Cheers, Nicola Musatti
