Hi I consider this Feature Requests unrelated to any Boost library. It shuld be added to the library wish lists. Could we close it? Vicente Ticket #1777 (new Feature Requests) Opened 14 months ago Last modified 14 months ago provide md5 Reported by:Erik <esigra@.>Owned by: Milestone: Component: None Version: Severity: Not Applicable Keywords: md5 Cc: There are some threads in the mailing list archive about providing boost::md5 but it did not seem to lead anywhere yet. It would be useful for a project that I work on. We maintain a fork of md5 in our source tree and since we already depend on boost it would be great to get rid of our fork and use boost instead for our md5 needs. I suppose this may apply to other projects as well. All interested parties can subscribe to this ticket to track the progress of this issue.
