Hi,

The official release schedule at

http://www.boost.org/development/index.html

seems to indicate we're now really close to the first beta of Boost 1.59, yet I don't see much activity in the mailing list and, for instance, the release notes are almost empty now:

https://github.com/boostorg/website/blob/master/feed/history/boost_1_59_0.qb...

Is this schedule still valid? Thank you,

As far as I know. I'm planning on building a beta RC on Friday.

This has really taken me by surprise. Was I supposed to know that 1.59 was going to be released shortly without so much as a single announcement on this mailing list ? In other words is it up to Boost developers to know when the timelines for each release would take place ?

The release calendar is always available at http://www.boost.org/development/

I never even got VMD to be regression tested on 'master' yet and I wanted to add it to the 1.59 release. Furthermore a number of 'develop' fixs in preprocessor and other libraries for which I have write access had never been merged to 'master' yet for testing. I guess none of these things will make it to Boost 1.59. I do apologize that I was not aware I should have been getting these fixes merged into 'master' and tested for the next release. None of the fixes are 'critical' but I definitely wanted to get some of them into 1.59.

After the beta, we will re-open master for bug fixes. (and you can get your bug fixes in then) -- Marshall
