I don't think that this has been the practice in the past.  If it is  
now the case, I think that the information on updating the web page  
should specifically reflect that.

I think that we'll probably need a better solution than that.  Given  
the time between releases, it would be better to have a location  
where library updates can be marked.  I'm particularly concerned  
about the time after a release and before the next branch for release.

Another option is to have a file separate from the home page but is  
also maintained in CVS HEAD, which
contains all of the changes since the last release (or release  
branch) that are currently in CVS HEAD.

The web site and CVS are independent right now: what is visible at  
boost.org does not always match what is in CVS.  How will the planned  
changes alleviate this issue?

Thanks for the reply.
