Great work! There's no tag for this one in SVN. Is that an oversight, or a new policy? K

That was done this morning. I've also updated the Release Managers Checklist to do that earlier in the release process. See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ReleasePractices/ManagerCheckList --Beman

Thanks Beman. We pull the release straight from SVN (there's only a couple of us using Boost so it shouldn't be too big a drain on bandwidth I hope). I'm not sure how sensible that really is despite that though, but it does mean that we have a script that will fetch and build Boost, and do a few things so that we can keep multiple versions side by side. For people just starting with Boost this means for Linux/Mac/Windows they can just grab our scripts and have everything done for them whilst they're doing something more interesting. The scripts are available here: http://svn.felspar.com/external/Boost/ I guess I should add a readme describing what happens as they go about things... K

Hi Maybe I am doing something wrong. But I think this is a bug in the build system. './configure --with-libraries=all' runs with no error. But a subsequent 'make' results in build errors saying, that - among others - zlib.h could not be found. The compiler is right, as I have no zlib dev package installed. But shouldn't configure detect this missing dependency in advance? regards Alexander

Care to submit a patch? Thanks, --Beman

Done. And Boost 1.39.0 as a milestone for "to be fixed" -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:marshall@idio.com> It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Why not create even more ahead of time to avoid these messages? (And I can see that some feature requests that are unlikely to be done in time for the next release - or few if we can get the release process working as smoothly as we hope (Keep up the great work Beman ;-).
