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

Ok, then if nobody else speaks up I'll remove README.txt and merge to release branch shortly. - Volodya

It's added by the release script. I'll remove it, or Beman? Daniel

I've removed it on trunk, so it shouldn't be in tonight's snapshot. It's easy enough to revert if necessary. 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.

Sorry, that's not going to be fixed for this release. I'd suggest using prebuilt libraries anyway. Iostreams has no business building third party libraries, this kind of problem is inevitable. Daniel
It appears that the release branch version of boost/version.hpp still says 1.42 (the trunk version says 1.43).
