Thank you for both nice answers.
I definitely must be tired.

Or maybe for a person knowing where to go it is obvious, but not for the 
other people,

When I read
*Libraries
*. Documentation:
      Current release <http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm>
      Nightly CVS 
<http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/libraries.html>

I felt that those were links to specific tecnical informations about the 
current release and how to get the cvs, ....
I think that 'Nightly CVS 
<http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/libraries.html>'' 
is misleading and made me to think that also
Current release <http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm> was a link to 
documentation about how to download boos stuff ....
So I didn't even went there, and I tried other links.

Maybe instead than
Current release <http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm>
the name
Libraries listing
would be better.
 
Or maybe to make Documentation itself a link would be helpful.

This time  I also clicked on 'Nightly CVS 
<http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/libraries.html>' 
and I was really surprised to read
Chapter 1. The Boost C++ Libraries
etc, etc,
I don't know a better name but definitely not 'Nightly CVS 
<http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/libraries.html>'
I am ignorant and I tend to think that
'Nightly CVS 
<http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/libraries.html>' 
is referring to how to get the last changes in the repository.

Just my personal opinion.
Please ignore it if it doesn't make sense.

Best Regards,
Marcello
