David,

Thank you, I understand.  I guess I will have to wait for 1.57 or try to
merge in the development branch to my local 1.56 version as soon as it is
working.

I realize we do not hold releases until all tests pass but I wonder if we
should do something like that for one release a year as a long term support
(LTS) version.  It just makes relying upon boost very difficult from a end
user perspective when major development projects often times rely upon
multiple libraries.  Would this be worth having a larger discussion about
in its own thread?

Thanks,

-Matt

yes, I know it's not ideal but we haven't time to do better this time

I will try to update the devel branch on git if it helps
