Looks the same as RC1 for me on Visual Studio.
*  b2 with a relative prefix (and relative libdir/includedir) doesn't work
*  Can't create libraries for bzip2 and zlib (showstopper? anyone else

Other than that things look good.

Compile means that the b2 command completed without errors
Link means that visual studio was able to link a sample executable to a
library (libboost_thread-vcXXX-mt[-gd]-1_XX.lib) generated
Execute means that the linked program executed without errors.
