So my vote is for flagging serialization as "n/a The library author marked it as unusable on this particular platform/toolset." for msvc-6.5 and borland-5.8.2
I have two concern here, given that serialization is supported for 1.33.1.
Given this seemed to be working a couple of weeks ago, and Nicola is on
I think the key issue here is "seemed".
the case for updating the build instructions, I would like to see him given the time to do that. After waiting almost 14 months already, I would really like the end result to pay off.
A scary option would be to mark them n/a to hasten release, and plan a short-cycle 1.34.1 once the updated Spirit support is in. My concern with this plan is that everyone will lose interest once 1.34 ships, and without testing 1.34.1 will never happen.
I understand your concerns, but at this stage I think we have to focus on getting it out the door. A slightly more optimistic way to look at it: If there is enough user interest there will be support for 1.34.1.
The last word of course is up to Thomas Witt.
I am with Roland on this one. That being said I don't want to discourage people working on this. As long as it does not take time from 1.34.0 it's still worthwile I think. Thomas -- Thomas Witt witt@acm.org
