The Boost.DateTime library is very useful, and it is unfortunate to
admit that according to Trac report and personal experience, its current state is anything but good. There are long standing tickets, some of them are trivial to fix and have patches already attached. The most annoying ones are missing includes and name clashes (tickets 642, 1740, 1615, 2083, 2091 to name some of them). Is this library still maintained?
I've forwarded the above to Jeff Garland. If he doesn't respond we will authorize someone else to apply at least the trivial fixes.
My apologies -- the last 6th months have seen the time I have to devote to Boost essentially evaporate...I really haven't even been able to watch the mailing list or do any date-time maintenance. I'm certainly still planning to continue supporting the library, but I don't want to hold up critical fixes just because I'm short on time right now. If someone wants to take the lead on applying a few of these fixes please just email me directly -- I can find 30-60 minutes to scan the changes and make sure they will be compatible going forward.
Has anyone taken the lead to get these changes into date-time? If someone will get patches ready, and have them approved by Jeff, I'll be happy to apply them. Just include me in the email exchange with Jeff. --Beman
