I have just fixed the typeof problem on the release branch. (I've also verified that it makes the common_type regression go away without causing additional failures for either the typeof or type_traits libraries.)
I know it's not our policy to issue point releases, but totally breaking a major header (boost/type_traits.hpp) for a primary test compiler (msvc-7.1) seems like a good reason to make an exception. Does anybody feel otherwise?
Since msvc-7.1 doesn't appear in the test matrix for the release version I don't see how it can be considered a primary test compiler.
+1 Now, maybe the answer is "we messed up by not noticing that our tester upgraded to vc-8" or something. But either way, the release managers have to decide if this is important enough to issue a point release. VC-7.1 _is_ getting a bit long in the tooth at this point... -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
