There have been a couple of bug fixes to Wave, not sure whether it's
appropriate to list all of them in detail:

Boost V1.40.0: Wave V2.0.2
- Fixed several race condition inhibiting to use Wave in multi threaded 
  environments. Wave is now usable in multi threaded applications again.
- Fixed compilation problems caused by recent changes to the multi_pass
iterator
  from Spirit V2.1.
- Fixed Wave to compile with BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED defined (i.e.
the 
  library doesn't use the deprecated filesystem interface anymore).
- Switched to Re2C V0.13.5
- Specifying a custom token type now works as expected. The new lexer
interface
  introduced in V2.0 broke this part.
- Removed old code related to pre Boost V1.31 (related to V1 of iterator 
  library), this breaks compatibility with Boost versions this old.
- Incorporated the changes from latest version of the flex_string class
(#2946).
- Finally fixed all remaining examples. Everything seems to work fine now.
- Added a new commandline option --macrocounts/-c to the Wave driver
application
  which lists all macro invocation counts to an optionally specified file 
  (default is cout).
- Fixed --list_includes/-l command line option of the wave driver tool to 
  correctly indent the generated list of included files.
