updating history in beta site

I've tried to add some item to 1.47 history in the beta site. I've edited .qbk file, and then went to site_tools directory. According to: http://www.boost.org/development/website_updating.html I am supposed to run 'site-tools.py update' there, but there's no such script, and running 'update.py' results in an error. On the 'live' site, I was able to do that, and in fact, I see new content on: http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_47_0.html So, it looks like this functionality is not working just in beta site? Thanks, -- Vladimir Prus CodeSourcery / Mentor Graphics +7 (812) 677-68-40

It is the beta site, it's where I do development so sometimes things don't work and haven't been documented yet. I tend to work on this kind of thing at the beginning of the release cycle, so that it's not changing as we prepare for the release. Btw. please try to avoid making changes to the release notes after a release, it causes them to reappear in people's feed readers which annoys them.

OK. If that helps, the errors I get are below.

I understand, but then some other folks were surprised about b2 rename, so I though that's worth mentioning.

It's fixed now.

Oh, maybe it's okay actually. I forgot that in this release I added a link element to new feed items, and it looks like google reader has updated it without flagging it. I'm not sure what other feed readers do.
