Can't people still working with this just use 1.33.x version of boost?
I completely agree. People who won't upgrade VC++ 6 shouldn't expect to upgrade boost. I see no need for "depreciated" here.
ACE, another widely used C++ library, is dropping support for VC6. Here is the message that just came across ace-users. <quote> Hi folks, After the x.5.1 release the DOC group will be dropping support for the following compilers, platforms, and features: * Deprecated compilers VC6, VC7.0, KAI C++, Visual Age 5, CBuilderX, Sun C++ older than 5.x, Centerline C++, Kylix3 * Deprecated platforms DGUX, pSOS, m88, irix5, SCO unix, Chorus, AIX 4.x, HPUX 10.20, UnixWare, SunOS 4, Cray/Unicos, OSF/1, MVS, RTEMS, LynxOS 3.x. * Deprecated features Explicit templates for ACE, old AMI mapping for TAO, emulated exceptions in TAO If you want support to continue on any of these compilers/platforms please contact one of the companies listed at http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/commercial-support.html for commercial support or volunteer to provide an autobuild for these platforms and keep them up-to-date.
