[1.43.0] Beta 1 now available from SourceForge

Boost release 1.43.0 beta 1 is now available from SourceForge See http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/ For details of what's in the release, see http://beta.boost.org/users/news/version_1_43_0. Note that the links to files on this web page are for the final release - use the SourceForge link above to get the beta files. There are known issues with GCC 4.5 and VC++ 2010. These compilers were released a few weeks ago so support is still rough around the edges. Some fixes will make it into the final 1.43.0 release, but full support will not be available until 1.44.0. Please download the beta, give it a try, and report any problems you encounter here. -- The Boost Release Team

Some minor points about Boost.RangeEx: - it should probably have a more prominent position as a new library that has undergone full review. - I did not see pdf documentation for Neils new quickbook documentation. Does some file needs to be updated for that? - Neil's name should be added for range in libraries.htm + the info should be updated to reflect all the new cool range adaptors/algortihms stuff - The new docs for range are cool (thanks Neil), but minor thingz could be tweaked a) The first page says: "Boost.Range is a collection of concepts and utilities that are particularly useful for specifying and implementing generic algorithms. " which does not reflect the new library b) The introduction does not say anything about the new cool stuff c) History and acknowledgement could also be updated -Thorsten

Can you suggest better wording, as the current description doesn't look that important.

It's in the pdf build file (doc/pdf/Jamfile.v2), but it broke a little while ago because the target name was changed from standalone to quickbook. I'll fix that.

You can update libraries.htm and maintainers.txt. I'll update the website based on that. Daniel

Ah, the pdf is included, but you might have missed it because it's called 'boost_range.pdf'. I think it's named after the quickbook file 'boost_range.qbk'. Daniel

Well, the position itself is a problem IMO. What about we have a section for major updates to libraries (which has undergone review). Under that we can put the following. "Boost.Range has been extended with important features: (a) range-based version of standard algorithms plus several new algorithms, and (b) range adaptors which can be combined with range-based algorithms for unpresedented expressiveness and efficiency, from Neil Groves. There should probably be some links also to the new parts.

Done. -Thorsten
