[website][unordered] Patches on release notes.
Hi, There's a fairly serious bug in Boost.Unordered in 1.50 so I wanted to make a patch available. I've added it to the release notes, at the top so it's quite visible, you can see it here: http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_50_0.html I'm emailing about this, partly to bring the patch to people's attention and partly to find out what you think of using the release notes this way. Daniel

I like it. (This might help reduce the mad scramble at the closing gate? But warn users effectively - providing too many people don't do it.) Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com

I don't think so. It should only be for serious regressions that turn up after a release. So it shouldn't really change the way developers act before a release. If there are too many patches, it'd just be a pain for the users.

Doesn't a fairly serious bug warrant a bugfix release?
We're not really setup to to do bugfix releases at this stage (and that's a subject for another thread, it isn't my decision and I don't want to get into a debate about it).
