I've recently upgraded to the lastest version of Cygwin and found that this current version supports wchar_t, wstring, etc

Yes! Finally! MinGW also now supports them. Filesystem V3 requires wchar_t, wstring, etc., and all the tests pass with both Cygwin and MinGW.

I can't recall the details, but IIRC there was chatter a while back that due to limitations of Cygwin/MinGW you'd decided drop full support for these platforms from Boost.Filesystem. Assuming my recollections are broadly correct, does this latest development now mean that Cygwin/MinGW are again fully supported by Boost.Filesystem. Thanks. -- Rob
