[1.43.0] Beta 1 Release Candidates available

The 1.43.0 Beta 1 Release Candidate files are available at http://boost.cowic.de/rc/ Before these get pushed out to SourceForge, we like to get verification that they download and build OK on at least Linux and Windows. So please download one of these for your favorite platform, try a build, and report success or failure here. Thanks, --Beman

Given that it's 1.43 release, and last boost+cmake release was for 1.41, should the CMakeLists.txt file be removed from the top level as to not communicate wrong things to users? Also, do we have both INSTALL and README.txt -- in addition to HTML docs? - Volodya

Troy removed the link from the site a little while ago (it will disappear with the release) so I'd take that as an indication that it isn't something we should be directing users to.

README.txt contains the release notes, which is a bit misleading. Unfortunately, they're often changed after the release so it's probably best if they're not included. Daniel

Well, it doesn't build with the latest version of zlib (1.2.4) source, if including optional zlib component for IOStreams. gzio.c is no more. That would be bug #4091. And graphml, or more specifically property_tree, doesn't build in VC10. That would be bug #4092. After modifying Jamfile.v2 for iostreams & ptree_implementation.hpp for property_tree, everything (including zlib, bzip2, mpi, python, icu) build fine on an XP Pro with VC10 Pro.

It appears that the release branch version of boost/version.hpp still says 1.42 (the trunk version says 1.43).
