After far too long, release candidate files for 1.60.0 beta 4 are available
at
http://boost.cowic.de/rc/

As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download
the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report
both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.

This helps ensure the candidates build OK before we push them out to
SourceForge.

Changes since rc3:
* Boost.Test has been updated and now builds on Visual Studio

Changes since rc1:
* Boost.Sprit has been updated and Boost.Log now builds.
* Boost.Math has been updated and now builds.

Known issues (which will not be fixed for the beta):
* Errors when building Boost.TypeErasure for older versions of Visual
Studio.
* Boost.Test fails when building on Darwin with gcc 4.9.2

The files (and associated md5s) are:
MD5 (boost_1_60_0_b1_rc4.7z) = 63530c9594b24f56e5df79d910c9daeb
MD5 (boost_1_60_0_b1_rc4.tar.bz2) = 29af12a1028536219a21517e953df4eb

MD5 (boost_1_60_0_b1_rc4.zip) = 90c25c34b64eb6cc88845ec5372938d7

As expected, the Visual Studio builds have failures with msvc-8.0, 9.0, and 10.0 in type_erasure:

Everything else looks good. Here's the full logs.

Compile means that the b2 command completed without errors
Install means that the installers for the respective version were generated
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.
