You mean 1.41.0, not 1.40.1 or 1.40.0, right? :)

For some reason, the link to Spirit still points to
"classic", not 2.1. In my local release directory tree,
the redirect for "libs/spirit/index.html" works as expected.

That's because it's the 1.40 documentation on the site, when the 1.41
documentation is uploaded it'll work okay.

This page doesn't include the updates to boost.thread. Can you remind me
which file I need to modify to fix that?

Also, I've made some doc changes on trunk. Is it OK to merge them to
release?

Numbering confusions extend to the names of the package
files themselves, I think:

boost_1_41_1_beta1.7z
boost_1_41_1_beta1.zip
boost_1_41_1_beta1.tar.bz2
boost_1_41_1_beta1.tar.gz

Speaking of documentation:

1. It appears that http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/index.html is still
broken. Is there any way to figure why?

2. Looking at http://beta.boost.org/users/news/version_1_41_0
I do not see a section 'Build System' -- which is present in boost_1_41_0.qbk
Is this expected?

Ouch! Renamed via the SourceForge file manager. It will take an
indeterminate length of time before the change is reflected in their release
system.

Thanks for catching this,

It seems that file release system is the only feature of SourceForge that we use,
and that it's still kinda painful to use. Maybe, we should move? E.g. serving
files from the web server or using Google Code (which has scripted upload) or
something else?

SourceForge has improved their release system, and it is quite a bit easier
to use than in the past. I've been updating
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ReleasePractices/ManagerCheckList#Releasesas
I become familiar with the new SourceForge interface.

The name goofs were strictly on my side. The names were wrong when I created
the release candidate; see http://boost.cowic.de/rc/

Thanks for the comment, however, since we always need to be on the lookout
for ways to improve our process.

Speaking of that, I notice that SourceForge has a Thumbs up/Thumbs down
rating system now.

We need to take a look at the roughly 10% of the Boost ratings that get a
"Thumbs down" to see what is bothering users.

10% = 1 out of 11.  I don't think this one is very useful to us:

"**Meta programming taken a few steps too far. There are some very
usefull libraries here, but the readability of the code is awfull."

Oh, well. Perhaps we should include a spelling guide, starting with
"usefull" and "awfull":-)

Thanks for checking,

I added an error message to the 404 page on beta:

http://beta.boost.org/boost-build2/index.html

It looks like the boost build zipfile is missing. There needs to be a
'boost-build.zip' in the same directory as the boost release zipfiles.
I can't upload this for you. I think Rene and Beman can.

The release notes needed to be generated. It's there now.

The spelling of the comment is awful also.

I have always wanted a "rating system" on a library by
libray basis. Ideally, this would be a web page that
could be invoked for any library

library: select library

Rate 1 (unacceptable) ... 5(great) the following:

functionality/utility(trivial)..(indispensable)
robustness(flakey),..,(non percieved)
percieved performance(slow),...(unperceptible)
documentation (useless).(tax code)..(a pleasure to read and use)
ease of use(tax code)...(no-brainer)
....
response to questions/support(awol)...(right next to me)
overall quality

comments:....

and a summary page for each library

total number of responses
results for above questions
overall rating.

links to comments/pages/ar ratings.

These two errors have been fixed in trunk already.

Merging them to the release branch depends on whether we strive to 'support'
the beta of this compiler. What's the release managers' verdict?

Hi Hartmut,

If you feel this is a low-risk fix and the tests have cycled on trunk
and the results look good, please go ahead and merge to release.
