There has been some recent discussion on this very issue, so here are a couple boost-user archive links: This one shows you how you can create your own default constructor: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Boost-Users/message/2701 At least one user wanted this at first, but after using the library for awhile decided it wasn't really necessary. See: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Boost-Users/message/2705 I didn't put these in because I never felt comfortable about choosing the default values. > DATE_TIME_INLINE > ---------------- > It seems wrong that when using the default build of the date/time library, I > have to #define DATE_TIME_INLINE in all compilation units that use the > date/time library.

Yes, these issues will be fixed. Of course with sourceforge down we can't really do much of anything :-( Hopefully it will be back soon...
