I will be on vacation starting at noon today until May 13th.  I plan to
regression test Boost.Threads on Win32 VC++ 6&7 and on Linux gcc (not sure
the version I have installed there), so I don't believe we'll find any
problems with it during this release period, but if something does get
discovered I won't be able to correct it until the 14th.  Otherwise I have
no problems with this release schedule.

P.S. I'll still be in e-mail contact during this period, I just won't have
access to CVS or a compiler.
