To keep the size of down, only the library names are given. The header 
names are only given for the headers in boost-root/boost.

See below for how to get more detail.

OK.

See trunk/tools/release/diff_trunk_release.bat for a little Windows 
command line tool:

   @echo off
   if not %1$==$ goto usage_ok
   echo Usage: diff_trunk_release library-name
   goto done

   :usage_ok
   svn diff http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/release/boost/%1 
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/%1
   svn diff http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/release/libs/%1 
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/%1

   :done

Sorry, but I haven't had time to create a bash version.

If you run it like this:

   D:\boost\trunk\tools\release>diff_trunk_release parameter | grep 
"Index: " | sed 's/Index: //'

Output is:

macros.hpp
aux_/cast.hpp
aux_/set.hpp
aux_/python/invoker.hpp
aux_/tagged_argument.hpp
aux_/arg_list.hpp
aux_/default.hpp
preprocessor.hpp
doc/html/reference.html
doc/html/python.html
doc/html/index.html
doc/reference.rst
doc/index.rst

If you run "diff_trunk_release parameter", you will get an actual diff 
of the differences.

I've run it for each of the four libraries you mentioned, and all appear 
to have unmerged changes. Of course I have no way of knowing if these 
should go in 1.36.0 or be held for 1.37.0.
