RE: [Boost-Users] Is there a "known issues" page anywhere?

Is there a place where known problems for libraries/compilers are stored?
For instance, trying to use boost/time we hit a problem with MSVC7 and lexical_cast unless we enable the "wchar_t as a native type" option. While this may be good practice <g> it is not the default, and caught us out (and the error is none-too helpful)
I can imagine this sort of issue is discovered and re-discovered on a regular basis, and wonder where to look for such known issues before using list bandwidth. There is a "Known Issues" section on the wiki (see the link in the auto-appended .sig) which is intended to document these common "gotchas". I haven't looked at it for a while, so I don't know how up-to-date it is.
If that issue's not documented there, would you mind adding it? -- Jim

I tried looking there first, and after your message went back for a second look. Perhaps I am being dense, but I really can't find it. Closest match is the 'build issues' page, which I think is for a different thing. 'Search' the wiki did not help either. Could you post a link to the precise page you were thinking about? And I think a more prominent link on the front page may be useful too. Perhaps even a link from the main boost page, once the information present gets to a reasonable size?

No problem, once I find the page <g> [I can enter a couple more issues for the Borland compiler too] -- AlisdairM

There is actually a page for Lexical_Cast which is now probably out of date since the 1.30 release. Updates appreciated! http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?LexicalCast Jeff
