In this case we wanted to hold off on trunk commits that had a high probability of breaking many things while we worked on the beta. As people needed to get test cycled as quickly as possible.
You mean 'high risk', not 'high possibility'. No breakage from those patches yet :).
Sadly, that doesn't mean much. The test results haven't updated since Thursday and a lot of libraries aren't checked regularly. For one example, iostreams is mostly unmaintained, although I occasionally review patches. I had a quick look at the changes, and noticed this in 'boost/iostreams/chain.hpp': -#if !BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC, < 1310) +#if !BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC, == 1310) Which looks wrong to me. That was on the second screen of the changes, and there are a lot more screens after that. The rest of it might be fine, but it's unlikely that they'll get checked soon. Also, I asked you not to make these changes until after the release was made here: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2013/09/206537.php Which you seemed to agree to. We should wait for a little while after the release to give people a chance to respond to the release notes. You also should notify library maintainers before making non-trivial changes to their libraries.
