There are a few other regressions, but, yes, regressions seem mostly under 
control. I was going to check against the new Intel 8.0 release, but the 
license needs updating, so I'm not holding my breath. Also, a fair number 
of Spirit tests are being reported as fails.

Here are some things on my "do" list:

* Check http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/inspection_report.html 
for fixable problems. Pester Dave on the Boost.Python problems.

* Do a trial integration of the XML generated docs to make sure there are 
no surprises.

* Verify the new "getting started" instructions are integrated with 
"download" and similar web pages. Make sure any older redundant pages or 
material relating to getting started has been updated or removed.

* Review mailing lists for patches that have been submitted, but not 
apparently acted on.

None of those absolutely have to be done before we branch-for-release, but 
I'd like to have the rest of today (Sunday) and all of tomorrow to work on 
them.

How would others feel about a Tuesday noon US East Coast target for 
branch-for-release?
