Re: [boost] Libraries failing across the board.

11 Jul 2014

      David,

Thank you, I understand.  I guess I will have to wait for 1.57 or try to
merge in the development branch to my local 1.56 version as soon as it is
working.

I realize we do not hold releases until all tests pass but I wonder if we
should do something like that for one release a year as a long term support
(LTS) version.  It just makes relying upon boost very difficult from a end
user perspective when major development projects often times rely upon
multiple libraries.  Would this be worth having a larger discussion about
in its own thread?

Thanks,

-Matt

yes, I know it's not ideal but we haven't time to do better this time

I will try to update the devel branch on git if it helps

Just so I am clear, you are saying that 1.56 cannot be relied upon by users

for ublas we decided to skip this release and concentrate on 1.57 as we

have more patches coming.

What is the hold up with these? Does anyone need help?
