Thank you.

Yes, this issue is resolved. I posted a fix some time ago directly at
sourceforge. :-)

Actually, up to now I only compiled the libraries. The current CVS head
(with fixes) compiles 100% with VC 7.1 and VC 8.0. I'll try to run the
regression tests.

No problems here. The compiler is a little bit closer to ISO.

It does refactoring - but sadly not for C++.
It comes with managed C++ - really nice.
It contains .Net 2.0 - C# with templates.
Sometimes it reminds me of Eclipse.
We're currently using it to develop a filesystem filter driver for
Win2k/XP.
The driver is C++, the tests are partially (managed) C++ and partially
C#.
Works nicely ...

We did report a bug in the new STL (the one that causes boost to break
;-) and it was acknowledged and fixed ...
