The release managers have heard you. We're currently discussing a better plan. I'm personally very sorry for the poor way this has been managed. Look for an email from us shortly. I'm taking it upon myself to reopen the release branch for BUG FIXES ONLY (no new libraries). Please get your changes in as soon as is convenient and prudent. It should be open for at least a week. Then we'll require release manager approval. Please be sure trunk tests are clean before merging anything, as usual.
Thanks for your patience. We were all very busy in the run-up to BoostCon, and this got away from us. That's not an excuse, just an explanation.
Is this strict "bug fixes only", not allowing new features/changes in existing libraries?
Would it be a major inconvenience to hold new features until the next release cycle? That would be my preference, but I'm not speaking for all the release managers.
No, it wouldn't -- I can wait, but would prefer to merge my changes/refactorings in now so that the trunk and release branch will not differ by too much. -- Jeremiah Willcock
