Hi all, I noticed that a major update to gil's io extension was accepted into boost in 2011[1]. It disappeared from its own development repository in 2013[2]. It isn't present in boost 1.55[3]. It is present in boost's subversion trunk[4]. There's currently no mention of it in the release notice for boost 1.56[5]. Am I right to say that its presence in boost trunk means that it /will/ be included in boost 1.56, it just needs to be added to the documentation? If so, then great! Is there anything which needs to be fixed before it's ready to ship? I didn't see anything obvious when I searched this list's archives for “[gil]”. Thanks in particular to Christian, everybody else that worked on the io_new extension, and those that reviewed it! It's very useful to me, and I'm looking forward to its integration into boost so I don't have to add it myself from boost trunk :) [1] http://lists.boost.org/boost-announce/2011/01/0281.php [2] https://code.google.com/p/gil-contributions/source/detail?r=795 [3] http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/tags/release/Boost_1_55_0/boost/gil/extension...
