Does anyone know what's going on with boost? It seems it was downgraded

I was going to build the latest on my machine, but if there's something
wrong with it I might hold off or go with the older version. I know
there was some talk about splitting it up; is that the reason?
From memory 1.42 broke encfs. The encfs developers blame boost, the
boost developers blame encfs, so nothing was done in recent updates from
either side.
So we either update boost or break encfs...
encfs devs released a new version which works with> 1.41.
yesterday i built 1.43 but the splitting is holding me back. It has a
very annoying build system and until now we have in the bugtracker one
which is copying files around from a directory to another. FS#19749
What's the issue here though? We have a working split package and
everyone is happy? Bjam is a crappy build system but until CMake is more
actively maintained by Boost (last boost-cmake release was 1.41) it'll
have to do. Boost is an important part of C++ development, it should not
go without update in Arch.
Wow, this is kind of depressing. Why would some package in community
block an established library from being upgraded in extra?
until now yes, from now own NO. :D
expect new boost in testing + todo today
