[release][1.43] Release notes and some other things

Hello all, Please can you add your release notes for 1.43. If you can't, or don't know how, then just send them to me and I'll do it for you. Sorry I'm late asking this time round. If you didn't realise, you don't have to wait for me to ask, I create the file for the release notes at the beginning of the release cycle. Also, if haven't done so already, can you check the inspect report for your library. It's not too late to fix simple inspect errors (eg. missing newlines, tabs, licenses, broken links) although it is too late to change any code (unless it's an actual bug, of course). You can find links to it on the testing page (http://www.boost.org/development/testing.html). And finally, can you have a look at your library's documentation on the beta site and let me know if it's messed up, as I've been tweaking the way the documentation is displayed. It's still displaying the 1.42 documentation, we only update that after the release. thanks, Daniel

Just trying this out with the release candidate, and it links to the what's new contents. Would it be better to link to 'libs/spirit/doc/html/spirit/what_s_new/spirit_2_3.html' in the distribution? Daniel

I'll rebuild the distribution files after this change. I'd like to do that first thing in the morning (US Eastern time), so please make the change ASAP. Thanks, --Beman

There's no need to, it was a change to the release notes.
Ah! Thanks, --Beman

I'm afraid this is not enough for a user to decide if he wants to update or not. Could you add a link to the bug, or more verbose description? E.g. "a bug that caused basic_random_generator to create uuid with only N random bits was fixed"? - Volodya
