One way to detect some incompatible evolutions could be to run the tests from the preceding release (1.35) with the new release headers and sources (1.36). I don't know SVN enough to know if such a view (snapshot?) is easy to create. If all the test and examples where in a separate directory this will be surely easier to do.
It's not overly difficult. It will be easier with the foundations created by the boost-cmake project because the libraries are modularized.
The cost of making these test work without modifying at all the new release, will give us an idea of the cost the users will have on their migrations.
That's an excellent idea. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
