I'm still struggling with the fact that spirit 1.61 depends upon apply_if.hpp which no longer exists. In effect this makes the serialization library unavailable to vc 6.0, borland and others. That's just one case. BTW. These changes will break user code that depends on previous boost versions. So that's another question.
I've been wondering if it would make sense to drop in an apply_if, just for this release, to smooth the transition. It would be trivial to have it dispatch to eval_if. We can rip it out of the trunk as soon as we branch for release so it will have to be fixed up before next release.
Another issue is that the toolsets have some pending anomalies. Aside from the fact that the toolset documentation is now out of sync with the actual toolsets available and in use, I'm having problems with all those which use stlport which used to work. I'm still tracking this down.
This is just the stuff I know about. I would say 17 Sep is hopelessly optimistic.
It does seem a bit unrealistic to me, but I don't want to throw water on the fire ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
