> I just uploaded changes ([85417] and [85418]) to Boost.Rational that fix the two major problems showing up on the regression tests. How do I get them on the official distribution? I know we don't read off the SVN-trunk directly; there's some staging area first. (That's why the shippers occasionally declare a code freeze deadline.) I know we have a "release" branch, but I'm not sure that's still being used.

It was used for the 1.54 release (and releases before that).

I'm not sure whether it will be used for 1.55. There was talk
of having switched to git by then, but I'm not sure whether
that is still the plan.
