Ann: Alpha release of Boost.TR1-1.34

I've placed an alpha release of the TR1 subset of Boost on the sourceforge download page: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=189383 Eventually, this package will track Boost-1.34 releases, but until that happens, I wanted to test the water and see how a subset like this would be received, and how best to organise it's packaging etc. So any feedback you have would be most welcome! The subset includes: TR1 Reference Wrappers Shared_ptr result_of mem_fn Function Object Binders Polymorphic Function Wrappers Type Traits Random Numbers Tuples Array Hash Functions Regular Expressions Complex Number Algorithms Enjoy! Regards, John Maddock.

Please update detail/bad_weak_ptr.hpp; it now returns "tr1::bad_weak_ptr" from what() for extra TR1 conformance.

Nod: understood. However I would prefer to defer doing an update until we have installation instructions for bbv2: the current *alpha* release uses bbv1 for installation as a temporary measure until someone (Dave I believe was working on it?) writes some instructions. Current cvs has no bbv1 and no end user instructions for bbv2 installation either :-( At the moment I just want to test basic packaging issues, and gradually refine the distribution based on feedback. So it will get updated fairly soon, but I'd prefer to wait a little while if that's OK. It's a fairly minor issue to go through the release process for: hopefully no-one will beat us up too badly over a first alpha release! John.
