Something in the doc build also prevented me from doing a bjam release two weeks ago :-( So I'll have to try and get a bjam release done ASAP, and merged into the release. But ASAP for me right now means the weekend. So is it OK to do this merge?
I'm not wild about this, actually. It makes me more than a little uncomfortable to think about upgrading the build system this late in the release cycle. Changes to critical infrastructure (like build and test) are best done at the start of the cycle.
FWIW, I'm planning to merge Boost.Build to release as well. Two important changes are: 1. linux->windows crosscompiling support 2. suppression of various configuration messages from libraries that are not built 1 is what folks were running into routinely and 2 is important for larger users of boost. - Volodya
