Libraries MIA: CircularBuffer, IndexedSet, CollectionTraits, OutputFormatters, ...
Hi, I was just going through the boost-announce archives. I knew that some libraries that had passed review never made it into CVS, but I had no idea it was so many. Do we have somewhere a record of the status of all these libraries so I can see an accucrate record? Thanks, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

The record is kept here: http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_schedule.html I believe it is pretty accurate. Jeff

But all the rows indicating acceptance also say the libraries were added. I'm trying to find the accepted libraries that were accepted but not added. Well, it says IndexedSet was added, but I can't find libs/indexed*. Did it change names to MultiIndex maybe? The page says OutputFormatters was rejected. I guess I was misled by the boost-announce posting that said: "Pending Acceptation". In other words, it's considered Accepted by default, but since it will be redesigned, a new short review will take place. which I guess is equivalent to rejection. The page doesn't mention CollectionTraits. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

Hmm, I'm not sure about that one.

which I guess is equivalent to rejection. The wording of this announcement was different from that for other reviews. I suppose it might be better marked "Accepted Provisionally". I was in contact with the authors of this library for a time and unfortunately they were not able to prepare it for a new review, so it's now equivalent to rejected since the provisions are not being met.
The page doesn't mention CollectionTraits.
That might be a reference to Container Traits, which was accepted, but renamed to Boost.Range. ron

On further investigation, that appears to be the case. I will add a note to the formal review schedule. ron

Thanks, Ron. Tagging all name changes would be very informative. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

AFAIK, that is now done. If anyone notices name changes I have overlooked, please let me know. ron

I'll add Circular Buffer once 1.34 gets ot of the door (to eliminate any chance to mess up someting with the release). /Pavel

Suit yourself, but there is absolutely no chance of messing up the release if you add Circular Buffer to HEAD. The release is safely isolated on a branch. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
