Is there a timeframe for the release of Boost 1.56? The current 1.56 page

simply states that it's at an early stage in its release cycle (but it has said this for months).

Fixed. Hopefully it's clearer now.

I still don't see a release schedule on the calendar - do we have one yet?

Yes. Discussed and decided in Aspen. We are going to pick up the regular schedule. I assume that means the next release will be scheduled for the first Monday in August, but Marshall will be verifying that.

Several other important decisions were made last week at various C++Now meetings, but haven't been posted to the list yet. Beyond the usual catch up after being out-of-the-office for a week, today is the deadline for papers for the upcoming C++ standards committee meeting, and most of the Boost people involved are in ship mode trying to finish committee papers.

Here’s my proposal for release (based on looking at the 1.53 schedule, with some extra time inserted): June 16: Master closed for new libraries and breaking changes June 30: Master closed, except by permission July 7: 1.56.0 rc1 July 8: Master open for bug fixes and doc changes July 21: Master closed, except by permission July 28: 1.56.0 rc2 August 4: 1.56.0 release — Marshall
