Hi

I'm not able to find some fixes such as (78513) in tags/release/Boost_1_51_0/ nor tags/release/Boost_1_50_0/

Why some fixes that are in trunk didn't made it to the release branches?

Changes are made first to trunk, where they are tested. Only after they are tested and the library's maintainer feels they are ready are they merged to release. This can a week or longer if the release branch happens to be frozen. What often happens, unfortunately, is that the maintainer makes the change on trunk and then forgets to merge to release. If you notice this, the best thing to do is to post a message here (politely!) pointing out the potential oversight. Make sure the library's name is in the subject line, like "[shared_ptr] unmerged change #NNNN". If that doesn't work, find the maintainer and try to contact them directly.
