Hi folks,

The big sore point is still support for the various flavours of VC -- I know that there are (especially older) versions for which it is not working, but I am lacking test systems, so if you are affected please let me know and I will do my best to resolve the issues.
My own point of view when doing new development for VC++ and Boost is that it is simply not worth worrying about versions that are older than VC++ 8 ( VS2005 ). Others may disagree, but I have run into enough compiler bugs in the last three releases to not have to worry about any problems which might occur in releases before those. So my opinion is not to worry unduly about any releases prior to VC++ 8 for whatever you do in your development of a new library unless you are pretty sure that a fix for VC++ 7 or VC++ 7.1 is pretty trivial ( I don't even consider VC++ 6 worth discussing ).
If it's just a matter of doing an SVN update, running bjam, and e-mailing you the results, I can help a little (VS2005/MSVC8). Shoot me an e-mail off list (I don't read this list often enough).
