When's 1.33.1 being merged into HEAD? (a.k.a. My ancient history got obliterated!)

I noticed that 1.33.1 was just posted. I noticed that the 1.33.1 notes were posted on our front web page <http://www.boost.org> and the old 1.33.0 notes were moved to the version history page <http://www.boost.org/more/version_history.html>. Then I scrolled to the bottom and noticed that all the extra entries of ancient Boost history I added were gone! I realized what happened: I put my entries on the HEAD branch then uploaded them to our web space. The 1.33.1 manager did the same thing, but those files are based off the older 1.33.x branch. Any changes made since that branch (that were uploaded) got paved over on the web site. Looking at the CVS history for the page <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost/boost/more/version_history.html ?rev=1.9&view=log>, you can see that my last change (r1.9) is the latest on the HEAD, but some of the 1.33.x changes (r1.4.2.x) are newer. We should solve this by merging the 1.33.1 changes into the HEAD then upload web pages as appropriate. -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com

We're separating the web site from the release precisely for this reason.

Yep, I plan to do this. Doug
