Hi Robert,
I have been reading the recent thread "Boost and Exceptions" with great interest. There you discuss at some length the problems of introducing breaking changes and library authoring in general.
This reminded me that you have not yet adequately responded to the problem posted in thread, so I decided to bump it up.
Do you have any plans about acknowledging/fixing the problem ( a breaking change) discussed here and filed as ticked: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6856.
Hmmm - as I understand it, re-enableing the version # code would address your concern. Am I correct? I don't have object to doing this - the only reason I disabled it was that certain users had decided to overload the version # with other information like date. This came up as a problem when I change the size of the version # in the binary file. I suppose we can re-enable it now since this has likely been addressed by all users. Let me know if that would address your issue. And re-enable it in your own copy of the library and verify that reallly IS the issue. Robert Ramey
