Re: [Boost-build] Boost.Build evolution

Hi,

After reading these documents I'm a bit concerned.

My projects are using Boost.Jam (and nothing else from boost.org),  
I've just updated from 3.1.9 to 3.1.12, and from what I gathered the  
future of Boost.Build is python.

Does it mean that the development of Boot.Jam will be dropped, and  
that future release will require Python to at least ensure some  
backward compatibility ?

I'm sorry about the questions but the documents are not clear (to  
me), or there is some more documentation that I'm not aware of.

Thanks,

- Stephane
