There has been a lot of C->C++ porting going on since the last release, so hand reviewing would be quite hard. Some fixes only went into the code base *after* the porting (such as the davorgan.cc frequency fixes). The code is of course public: http://beast.testbit.eu/Beast_Download git://git.gnome.org/beast http://git.gnome.org/browse/beast Here're commit IDs for the usual +#include <unistd.h> fixes you need for gcc-4.7: c17259d4b29dbc47a9657f172322d4d908fcd4cf 71ac19f78569f287f7e6db0147b6627a4d4acb0d You'll also need the stack and member resolution fixes for gcc-4.7: 0bc5582c9d6ddeb23d236b2f55b59bf9b414a66a 7b63939eb6e22f3bf2a99719d8b8443236f4476c fd03d7275711266e1350f7fb85c23b0996060fcd However the latest release also includes important fixes for crashers and GLib regressions, at least: 57b0bcbd03d2c7dac78f743fcafe1843cf07d87e 8ccc503bc6ee7a487c3d8834cf4ed028c537af52 545b1cd2ffb9d253aa81bff754b5b622a39fcfbb 2063dcbdc2238dccf877faed8371df9f682a536e bfcdf52900b4fbd60139682dc62cedd8af210851 b62343a1d755a74bbb23c26ab1b90af44be92fa7 I have no idea how many conflicts you'll run into when backporting these onto 0.7.4, because of the C->C++ porting we have done.
