Boost.Lambda - The predecessor of Boost.Phoenix: Boost.Lambda is the one library which inspired to Joel de Guzman to build Phoenix in the first place.

Yes. Boost.Lambda will go into maintenance mode. It will be deprecated in favor of Boost.Phoenix but will remain available in parallel for a long time still for backward compatibility. We will have to assimilate as much as we can from Lambda, esp. the tests and documentation. Some years ago, the plan was to eventually assimilate even the name Boost.Lambda. I'm not sure that's desirable anymore since Phoenix has taken a life of its own. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net
