[1.51.0] Release branch closed except by permission, beta next week

Hello everyone, The release branch is now closed for all changes except by permission from one of the release managers. The beta release is planned for next Monday. Please can you write your entries for the release notes soon. As always you can edit them directly using subversion at: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/live/feed/history/ Or you can email them to me and I'll add them for you. The release notes are linked from the main page soon after the beta is released, so it would be complete by then. You can see the work in progress at: http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_51_0.html Finally, remember that the release notes are being compiled on the live site now, not the beta site. thanks, Daniel

The link to Context (new library) is broken. Is this intended for prerelease state?

It says a few lines above that, "Note: This version is at an early stage in its release cycle. The information listed below is incomplete and some of the documentation links may not work yet". Maybe I should make that a bit more prominent. I add the documentation to the site soon after the beta release.

I forgot to put in change 79227 from the trunk, and that is making a Boost.Graph test fail on VC++ up to version 10. Would it be OK if I pushed that in at the last minute? It has been passing the tests in the trunk for a while. There is also a tiny change (order of two function arguments) in undirected_dfs that also wasn't merged and should be before the release. I do not believe that affects any tests that are in the release branch (that code's test case was missed during merging, and that isn't worth fixing for 1.51). May I please put in those two bug fixes? Thank you. -- Jeremiah Willcock

That one looks ok.

You don't believe? Or, you've ran the tests locally and have verified that the change doesn't cause tests to break on the release branch?
(that code's test case was missed during merging, and that isn't worth fixing for 1.51). May I please put in those two bug fixes? Thank you.
If the tests pass for you after a merge, go ahead. -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
