* lexical_cast problems. Hold changes for next release?
* Regex "make boost work better" patch from Lars Gullik Bjønnes John Maddock says he will apply soon.
* [status/Jamfile] Jamfile patches for Borland Dave says factor commonality out into template. Too late for 1.30.0?
* [Boost.Regex] [PATCH] Fix GCC 3.3 warnings from Lars Gullik Bjønnes Awaiting response from John Maddock.
* Daniel Frey: provided a fix for some warnings in the type-traits (is_class/is_enum IIRC), John Maddock is aware of it AFAIK.
It looks to me like we should hold the lexical_cast changes until the next release. There are really two issues IIUC - some wide-character support problems and VC++ 6.0 support. While the wide-character problems might be possible to resolve quickly, VC++ 6.0 support is going to take some time to work out. Thus I think we should revert the RC_1_30_0 branch and move on.
I had hoped to tag for release early today (Thursday). But at the best we won't be ready for that until later today.
I'm going to be out-of-town from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon. Thus even if we tag for release later today, there isn't enough time to prepare the release .zip/.gz/.bz files and upload them, update the web site (which can take several hours), etc.
Perhaps the best plan is to leave the RC_1_30_0 branch open for changes until Sunday, noon, US Eastern time, and then start the actual release process then. But only seriously important fixes should be committed to RC_1_30_0 between now and then.
OTOH, it's very tiresome waiting for these last minute fixes, which don't seem particularly critical anyhow. Assuming lexical_cast is reverted, maybe we should just go ahead with the release now.
Thoughts?
