There will be a hold of several hours for last minute QA checks before these get pushed out to SourceForge.

As we can probably predict based on the last several releases, it is with very high probability that a point release (i.e., 1.37.1) will not happen after 1.37 goes out the door. Could you or someone with change rights to the main Boost page please add a link under the Support page on the right side of the main page that would go to a page with links to patches to the various libraries that are part of 1.37. Such patches will inevitibly be made, many likely in the coming weeks, fixing various bugs which the vast majority of users will only be able to get as part of a future release (i.e., 1.38), which certainly will have its own share of bugs. However, most of us would like to apply bug fixes after several nightly test cycles directly to 1.37, especially if they are important, as the patches by the various library authors are made. Doing this directly from CVS is quite a chore and few people will go this route. A uniform location that is easily accessible and can be found from the main boost page would help many people locate patches for libaries that they use. Hopefully, library authors would do their part to keep such a page current with important bug-fixes to their various libraries, so that in lieu of a 1.37.1 release, people could have the various bugs that have yet to be found in 1.37 fixed in their Boost builds. Thanks ahead of time, Michael Goldshteyn
