The version history for 1.35.0 is currently located at http://beta.boost.org/users/history/2008-01-23-version_1_35_0. Presumably that will translate to http://www.boost.org/users/history/2008-01-23-version_1_35_0. Why is the date part of the version name? That creates a problem for links from the release, since they have to be changed if the date changes? Would it be possible to change the location to plain http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_35_0? Presumably the same pattern should be followed for subsequent releases. Thanks, --Beman

Random choice on my part to account for the possibility of someone unknowingly picking the same title for two entries since this is used for news entries also.

I'll remove it, but we will have to put a blinking disclaimer for people to check for duplicate titles. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

Hi, A detail in http://beta.boost.org/users/news/version_1_35_0 Every library name appears with capital letters and separated words, except circular_buffer. circular_buffer: STL compliant container also known as ring or cyclic buffer, from Jan Gaspar. In order to be coherent shouldn't it be *Circular Buffer*: STL compliant container also known as ring or cyclic buffer, from Jan Gaspar. _____________________ Vicente Juan Botet Escriba ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rene Rivera" <grafikrobot@gmail.com> To: <boost@lists.boost.org> Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 4:29 PM Subject: Re: [boost] [1.35.0] Links to version history?
