I _am_ puzzled about what behavior you wish people (who use (all | any) of boost regularly) to use in validating problems they may encounter (most of the time boost is in a constant state of improvement).
During these times, the usual advice is check the latest out of CVS and verify the problem exists there.
Now we appear to be told that the "latest" isn't to be used (for filesystem at any rate) until 1.30 is released.
Is this a rule for ALL of boost for the duration?
Enquiring minds want to know.
_Surely_ you don't want people to _quit_ testing during this pre-release phase. That would make the whole phase irrelevant.
I suggest further, that perhaps the release mechanism be changed such that the "how to check the latest" NEVER changes from the point of view of the user/tester i.e. "cvs update -A -P -d" would ALWAYS get the latest believed to be working copy.

I don't know why your run hung, but the '"filesystem" isn't part of namespace "boost"' error is a known namespace alias bug in VC++ 7.1 final beta. A workaround has been checked into Boost's RC_1_30_0. I'm not worrying about the main trunk until 1.30.0 ships.
