This is the plan for release of Boost.MultiIndex. This is a newly added library. Current status: commited in the CVS since 6 weeks or so. Regression tests are OK for all the compilers that I intend to support. If someone is interested in some other compiler being supported, please contact me. Pending issues: #1 Minor updates to the docs. No big deal. #2 Some changes related to the new defect macro BOOST_NO_POINTER_TO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_PARAMETERS These issues will be resolved way before the branching date, I hope. Questions: #1 Dave talked about Aleksey going to merge a new version of MPL in the main trunk. When will that happen? How disruptive do you expect it to be wrt to the rest of libraries? #2 Should I update the additional stuff right away (links in the main and libraries pages, uploading of bio and picture etc.)? Or is anybody else taking care of that stuff? #3 Vladimir just talked about "adding markup for the failures". What is this? Is this something required as part of the regression fixing process?

This is editing status/explicit_markup.xml to say "this test is known to fail on this compiler, because compiler is bugger, and that compiler is so buggy that I'm not going to support it" ;-)
Is this something required as part of the regression fixing process?
That's a question to Aleksey, the reason I'm going to do this is to change red "unexp" cells in http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/user_result_p... into white "fail". I think for your library, you'd only need to mark borland as unusable. Ok, just made the changes for program_options. - Volodya

Thank you for the report.
Questions: #1 Dave talked about Aleksey going to merge a new version of MPL in the main trunk. When will that happen?
As reflected on the release progress page, I plan to check everything in on July 11 or earlier.
How disruptive do you expect it to be wrt to the rest of libraries?
Minimal disruption; I plan to test everything that is in the CVS main trunk with the new version and fix all the failures that I know how to fix locally before checking in. I expect all failures to fall into this category.
#2 Should I update the additional stuff right away (links in the main and libraries pages, uploading of bio and picture etc.)?
Yes, please.
Or is anybody else taking care of that stuff?
Not yet; please feel free to go ahead.
#3 Vladimir just talked about "adding markup for the failures". What is this?
You can explicitly mark up some "unfixable" failures as such -- preferably providing a corresponding note -- so that they are displayed in green (or gray if they make the library unusable) on the "extended" Win32 and Linux regression reports (http://tinyurl.com/yu2k2 and http://tinyurl.com/k36t). The branch for release is going to happen when the report summary pages will have only green and gray cells.
Is this something required as part of the regression fixing process?
If you decide not to fix particular failures or not support particular compilers, yes. The failures are marked up in "boost/status/explicit-failures-markup.xml" document (http://tinyurl.com/2gbvr). Hopefully the already existing markup examples make the format self-explanatory; please ask if you have any problems. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

People's pictures are not in the main CVS. How do I get mine uploaded? Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Hmm, indeed. They used to be.

I think they are at http://boost.sourceforge.net/photos/ now.

scp your_name.jpg your_name@shell.sf.net:/home/groups/b/bo/boost/htdocs/photos I'm not sure if there's some editing to be done on the photos, though. - Volodya
