Hi there,
now that the 1.33.1 release is out, I'd like to bring up again a topic that was discussed (or at least, touched) previously.
I see two issues with the current release numbering scheme:
1) What is currently the major version number appears to have lost all its meaning. Why isn't it dropped, making the next release '34' instead of '1.34' ?
I agree, the use of the "1." is questionable. However, we could reserve 2.x.y for a version of Boost that does not contain any workarounds for ancient, non-conforming compilers, or for a similar clean-cut scenario.
How about reserving 2.x for that day in the distant future when every C++ user can be assumed to have a conforming TR1 implementation? -- Jonathan Turkanis www.kangaroologic.com
