Beman,
I am seeking permission to merge the trunk version of Boost.Range into the release branch. The regression test results have not detected new regressions, however there are a number of the new features that are not passing unit tests on several compilers. Since the new features would not be usable if I did not merge my opinion is that it is worth merging to allow the use of the newer features on more compliant compilers. In the meantime I can seek to improve the support of adaptors and algorithms on the less capable compilers.
Go ahead and merge. For the tests that are expected to fail (because of older compilers, or whatever), please mark them up as expected failures. Ask if you need help with the markup.
Will this merge cause failures because of the name conflicts with string_algo? Also, please see my earlier email about needing to apply a separate patch to remove the Boost.Range algorithms from <boost/detail/algorithm.hpp>. -- Jeremiah Willcock
