[1.44] Beta release candidate available
Release candidate files for the 1.44.0 beta are available at http://boost.cowic.de/rc/ As always, the release managers appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give it a try. Report both success and failure. I'm concerned about the number of failures showing for Build, Python, and Thread libraries. See http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/release/developer/summary.html. We need to fix those before the final release, but I don't want to hold the beta up any more. Thanks, --Beman

Actually, as far as Boost.Build tests are concerned, there's no particular emergency. Historically, those tests tend to care a lot about testing environment, so one better look only on gcc and msvc test results. Those reveal that 'print' test is failing everywhere -- which is something I've missed, but is not important. Also, pch test appear to fail on gcc 4.5 -- which is something that really has to be fixed. - Volodya

This is my fault. I just committed a fix to the trunk. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

Thanks! You might consider merging to release, when tests cycle (there won't be any wholesale mergers until 1.45) - Volodya

Expected failures tend to hide real failures, and make it hard to tell at a glace if a library has problems that need to be addressed. That's why we have the markup mechanism. So please either fix the failures or mark them up as expected. Thanks, --Beman

Built just fine on Mac OS X 10.6.4 using the "darwin" toolset. $ g++ --version i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664) No errors, 34 warnings. -- Marshall

Well, every .lib compiles with VC10. Didn't try any test program though. KTC

The thread failures are mostly due to the test_thread_move_return failures, which are expected. I need to update the failures markup for that.
