The documentation from the release candidate is on the site now. It's linked from the release notes at: http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_53_0.html

Hello, Can you please make the security note about Boost.Locale more visible? It is an important part of release notes. See: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/237615 I think this note should be somewhere in noticeable place: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note Begin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boost.Locale library in Boost 1.48 to 1.52 including has a security flow. boost::locale::utf::utf_traits accepted some invalid UTF-8 sequences. Applications that used these functions for UTF-8 input validation could expose themselves to security threats as invalid UTF-8 sequece would be considered as valid. This bug is fixed in upcoming Boost 1.53. For more details see: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7743 Users who can't upgrade to the latest versions may apply the following patch to fix the problem. http://cppcms.com/files/locale/boost_locale_utf.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note End ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Artyom Beilis -------------- CppCMS - C++ Web Framework: http://cppcms.com/ CppDB - C++ SQL Connectivity: http://cppcms.com/sql/cppdb/

Shouldn't the build system have auto-detected these headers were missing?
