My position (until proven otherwise) is that it is useable and complete. I replaced connection::block() and unblock() with shared_connection_block: http://www.comedi.org/projects/thread_safe_signals/boostbook/boost/signals/s... The reason was to make it easier for multiple threads to block/unblock a signal without stepping on each other. The only issues with the library that come to mind are that there is no backwards compatibility for the boost::trackable base class (there used to be but I ripped it out because it was distracting me). Also, I believe there is one base class that should be moved out of the detail namespace because it wound up getting exposed somewhere in the interface. Lastly, some of the code really could be compiled into a library instead of being all headers, maybe an option to use the library as header-only or not would be nice. -- Frank

Yes, but I've never submitted code to boost before. From the web pages it looks like I just need to put it in a zip file instead of a tarball, and request for it to be put into the review queue. I'll try to look over the code and docs again soonish to see if anything obvious needs cleaning up, and then zip it up. -- Frank
