+Release Schedule
+++++++++++++++++
+
+June 24-27: preparation (passed)
+////////////////////////////////
+
+Announce a preliminary release schedule, collect information about 
+everyone's plans for the release, adjust/confirm the schedule, 
+make regression reports to reflect the actual status of the main 
+trunk, setup nighly runs of the inspection report 
+(http://tinyurl.com/2vo5p), construct a "Release Progress" page 
+publishing the milestones, the collective TODO list, and links to 
+all the reports. 
+
+June 27-July 16: problem fixing 
+///////////////////////////////
+
+Use regression reports to identify and resolve the outstanding 
+issues with the main trunk. Walk through and deal with all the 
+patches and bug reports submitted to the list/SourceForge tracker 
+since the last release. In accordance with the TODO list, track 
+the progress of individual developers. By July 15, 24:00 US 
+Central Time every line of code that is intended to be put into 
+this release should be in the CVS, and the next round of 
+regression reports should show no regressions against the 
+then-current expected failures markup. 
+
+July 16: branch for release
+///////////////////////////
+
+Branch for release. Switch regression tests to run on the branch. 
+
+July 17-18: code freeze
+///////////////////////
+
+No code checkins are allowed expect to fix the failures resulted 
+from branching (hopefully none). Documentation checkins are still 
+OK. Perform the rest of the pre-release tasks listed in 
+http://tinyurl.com/2meuh. July 18, 24:00 US Central Time marks a 
+complete freeze of the branch. 
+
+July 19-20: release candidate
+/////////////////////////////
+
+Prepare and test the release candidate archives. Fix any found 
+issues and repeat. 
+
+July 21: release
+////////////////
+
+Release according to the http://tinyurl.com/2meuh procedure.

+Licensing

+
+Graph Library
+-------------
+
+Walter Landry writes:
+
+Since it has been awhile, has there been any progress on the licensing
+issues for the graph library?  The last thing I heard on this list is
+that it was being worked on.  Is that still true?

+
+I asked Jan Galdun and he will try to make circular_buffer available

+Date-Time
+/////////
+
+Jeff Garland writes:
+
+And while I'm on the subject date-time plans for release, the only 'major
+issue' for this release is whether we are switching to boost-book for this
+release.  We would like to, but if we don't make it we will do it for the next
+release.  One thing that would help a bit (although I think we've mostly
+worked around it) is if you could reply to this question on the boost-doc list ;-)

+Iterators
+/////////
+
+David Abrahams writes:
+ 
+There are a couple of things that ideally I would like to handle, but
+which I am not promising (yet):
+
+1. Minor adjustments to code in the iterators library
+2. Iterators library doc fixes
+
+
+MPL
+///
+
+New version of the library will be checked in the main trunk before July 11.
+
+
+Multi-Index
+///////////
+
+Joaquín Mª López Muñoz writes:
+
+Current status: commited in the CVS since 6 weeks or
+so. Regression tests are OK for all the compilers that
+I intend to support. If someone is interested in some
+other compiler being supported, please contact me.
+
+Pending issues:
+#1 Minor updates to the docs. No big deal.
+#2 Some changes related to the new defect macro
+BOOST_NO_POINTER_TO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_PARAMETERS
+
+These issues will be resolved way before the branching
+date, I hope.
+
+
+Numeric Conversions
+///////////////////
+
+Fernando Cacciola writes:
+
+In preparation for the upcoming 1.32 release I added this library to CVS.
+The code and docs have been changed according to the extensive review
+results.
+I still need to extend the documentation adding examples and motivating
+cases though, which I plan to do before the release.
+
+I haven't yet changed "boost/cast.hpp" to use the new stuff, I will as soon
+as I see the code stablilized among different compilers.
+
+In the meantime, new users can use "boost/numeric/conversion/cast.hpp" which
+contains the new version of numeric_cast<>
+
+
+Program Options
+///////////////
+
+Vladimir Prus writes:
+
+1. Add markup for the current failures on Windows. I've done all workarounds I 
+   planned.
+2. Finally get some results on gcc2.95-stlport. I expect that the library 
+   should work there, but due to Boost.Test failure I don't have any results.
+3. Try to make Sun compiler happy. I'm comitted a workaround some time ago, 
+   but tests on Solaris were not run since then.
+4. Check dynamic linking on Windows.
+
+
+Serialization
+/////////////
+
+I would very much like to see the serialization library in the 1.32 Release.
+However, I'm not sure it will be possible to make the posted schedule.
+
+I have made all changes to address issues raised in the review.  On my
+personal machine I have passed tests for the compilers VC 7.1 VC 6, gcc 3.3.
+Borland compiles (almost everything but requires some debug - it will pass
+most tests)  Comeau- compiles everthing - accept for a show stopping problem
+I've been unable to resolve.  My intention has been:
+
+a) post version compatible with 1.31 next week.
+
+b) build and test against the CVS tree on my computer
+
+c) check in
+
+In order to do this I need:
+
+a) authority to check in 
+
+b) information on how to mark tests/compilers known to fail.
+
+c) I have a couple of questions that I need an expert opinion on.
+
+   i) the first one is that in order to work, versions for vc 6.0 and
+      borland need to be compiled with spirit 1.61.  So the a special
+      environmental variable indicating the directory path where this version of
+      spirit is located on the testing machine.  SPIRIT_ROOT.  This variable has
+      to be set when serialization libraries are built for these compilers.
+
+I should say I'm more than a little bit concerned about changes to mpl and
+iterators.  I'm very much aware of the delays and difficulties associated
+with the 1.31 release - and it didn't even include this package.
+
+So I would like to continue on the path I've established above and we'll see
+where things stand July 16 when/if you are ready to branch for release.
+
+
+String Algorithms
+/////////////////
+
+Pavol Droba writes:
+
+I have few outstanding issues to fix, but they are mostly related to 
+the documentation. I think, I can manage it.
+
+As it seems, that the Range library will not make it to this release,
+I will use the internal versions of facilities that are currently in the string_algo lib.
+
+So my todo list is as follows:
+
+1) Finish the documentation
+    - Add functions list
+    - Add exception specifications
+    - Cleanup
+
+2) Fix examples
+3) If there will be time, improve find_iterator 
+4) Fix possible regressions.
+
+
+Questions:
+ - I have posted some requestes/bugs on the boost-doc list. What is the status
+   of this. Will they be fixed before release?
+
+ - According to metacom's tables regex is failing on comeau a so string_algo regex
+   test. Is this a setup or regex problem?
+
+ - There is an problem with Intel compiler, split tests are failing and I cannot figureout
+   why. The message is very vague. Could somebody with an access to this platform,
+   try to debug the cause of the problem?
+
+ - In regards to the older compiler support. I cannot resonably support compilers, that I
+   don't have an access to. Therefor if somebody is interested to use string_algo library
+   with one of such compilers, I will need an active help with porting.
+
+
+uBLAS
+/////
+
+Michael Stevens writes:
+
+The current status of uBLAS is that it has been relatively untouched in the 
+Boost CVS single 1.30.0. The active development takes place on a separate 
+CVS.
+
+Therefore now would be a good time to bring in the latest code which as some 
+quite significant improvements. The code is relatively stable and tested on 
+core compilers.
+
+Issues:
+On exotic (old) compiler the code is relatively untested and expected to fail. 
+Therefore the real need with regard to 1.32 is to get feedback from extensive 
+regression testing results in good time.
+
+As ever the documentation could do with further work to bring it up to date 
+with the to be release version.
