Download and unzip 
Some library docs missing (align, algorithm...)

But as short of time, I didn't build libraries to /lib from scratch but just

ran b2 on /math/test and /mat/example and they built and ran OK  (VS Pro 2013 on
Windows 8.1).

Math/docs look OK at a glance.  (and have also probably increased in size ;-(  

It looks slightly odd that the master says

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master/doc/html/Assignable.html

has a banner saying "This is documentation for a development version of boost".

But perhaps this will be changed for the final release?

FWIW

Paul

PS OK  (what happened to the 7z version?)
