I believe the library was accepted provisionally in 2010 and is awaiting modifications by the author: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2011/03/177804.php

quite sad, actually. Either library exists in boost or it does not. Year and a half is sufficiently large time period for the author to either complete the library or withdraw it.

Please try to understand 1. This is a volunteer organization and hardly anyone is getting paid to work on this stuff. 2. The conditions on acceptance were pretty stringent for this library. 3. One of the conditions was to use Phoenix lambdas instead of the home-made stuff Andrey came up with. Phoenix has been in flux and is only now ready for other libraries to build on it.

In other words, it's not really either-or: there's a lot of work in the intermediate stage. That's part of how the libraries end up so good. :-)

Also... log uses filesystem which was updated with a non-backwards compatible version (V3). Recent changes to boost log appear to be available on the sourceforge trunk. It is being actively worked on. michael -- Michael Caisse Object Modeling Designs www.objectmodelingdesigns.com
