[1.50.0] Release branch open for bug fixes and doc updates

The final release is scheduled for Monday, June 25th. The release candidate is scheduled to to be built Thursday, June 21st. That gives us two weeks to apply post-beta bug fixes and doc updates. Let's try a slightly more streamlined procedure for this post-beta period; until Monday, June 18th permission is not required to merge bug fixes and documentation updates. Starting June 18th permission of a release manager is required for all merges. As always, New libraries and new features are not allowed during a post-beta period. Thanks, --Beman

I've merged fixes from trunk for Boost.Parameter (boost/parameter/preprocessor.hpp and boost/parameter/aux_/cast.hpp). Fixes allow to access the parameter type tag::x::_ within other parameter declarations (this is a key feature of Boost.Parameter which was broken in 1.50.0 Beta 1). I've tested the merged release branch locally on MSVC 8.0, GCC 4.5.3 with and without C++11 features (-std=c++0x). All Boost.Parameter tests passed locally. I'll be monitoring the release regression tests closely. NOTE: I noticed that more tests were added to Boost.Parameter in trunk. I did not merge the new tests into release because changing the tests would changed the pass/fail criteria in the middle of the release (not just bug fixes). IMO, the new Boost.Parameter tests should be merged into 1.51. Thanks. --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/1-50-0-Release-branch-open-for-bug-fixes-...
