I just entered a documentation ticket #5258 (apologies if I didn't get 
the correct components and version settings...).

It looks like there was at least one important fix for the Iostreams 
library that occurred in V1.46. The fix was for ticket #4590

However, there is no end user documentation (release notes) that this 
fix occurred.

It would be nice if a note could be added to the library release notes 
for this release. To help out I added a proposed patch to the above 
ticket which contains a change for the iostreams library release notes 
documentation (I hope this looks okay).

Ideally it would be nice if a note could be added to the relevant 
"http://www.boost.org/users/download/version_1_46_0" what's new page for 
iostreams too.
I would have added a quick patch for this too, but I don't know where 
this lives in the source tree (the contents of above patch is probably 
all that needs to be added).
