As yet, not in a readily available form, no. Most of the interface
changes have already been comitted into cvs, so I suggest having a look
there (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=122478). However the
anonymous CVS repository doesn't seem to have been synchronised for
several weeks, so it's not totally up-to-date.

I believe that the changes 0.3.6->0.3.7 will not substantially affect
the structure of a typical program. Most impact will be in name changes
(e.g. asio::demuxer to asio::io_service, asio::stream_socket to
asio::ip::tcp::socket). So if you want to start now 0.3.6 should be ok.

Cheers,
Chris
