However, looking at the announcement and the docs I noticed that PropertyTree is again not in the official release.

It was removed from the release due to lack of documentation, amongst other things. See: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/171825 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/171958
Thanks Richard and Marcin. Obviously my search for this information was a bit too brief. It's too bad that this got hung up because of documentation, I myself haven't had any real problems using it with the old docs and a quick look at the headers. Still, it's better to release this library with some quality docs than to push it out too early, so I can understand the decision to delay this. Based upon one of these posts, Marcin, I think you are right to hold off on further performance improvements until the library is in a releasable state. At least for smaller files it performs well enough to meet users needs, and I don't think is at the point where it would be totally ignored by users for performance reasons. For XML at least, I never really thought of this library's parser as being meant to handle large files and would have considered other libraries for this. Anyhow, I hope to see this in 1.36. If I managed to learn QuickBook or BoostBook in the future and find some time then maybe I can volunteer on helping with these docs. Is there any hint from other library authors on the doc toolchain they've used to automate this better? Thanks, -Ryan
