Hello! I would like to propose the change of required boost version for Wesnoth to 'boost 1.35' The reasons are as follows: 1) my ai work uses boost::dynamic_pointer_cast<>, which is not present in 1.33. Keeping a copy of that header file in the codebase is not practical, it's better to change required boost version. 2) boost 1.35+ is present in major distributions, such as debian stable. 3) requiring boost 1.35 will open the way to future rewrite of wesnoth network layer using boost:asio, which is not present in boost 1.33
It was discussed on irc, with opinions in favor of the change: <boucman> Crab_: you work is 1.7 only, and we better change requirement early... I say go for it <silene> but i tend to think it's a bad idea to copy things from boost, it would be better to increase the required version <Ivanovic> IMO it would be fine to up the boost requirement to the latest version available in debian, which is 1.35 IIRC <mordante> Crab_ I'm also in favour of upping the boost requirement to 1.35 so best send a mail to the dev-ml --- WBR, Yurii Chernyi (crab)
