------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 In [68779], a fix for #4590 was merged to the V1.46 boost release.

 However, there is no documentation in either the overall release notes
 http://www.boost.org/users/download/version_1_46_0


 Or, the library specific release notes:

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_0/libs/iostreams/doc/index.html

 (in the Release Notes Page).

 In fact, the library specific release notes page above does mention one
 other fix done for 1.46. Namely:

 "Use BOOST_ASSERT instead of assert."

 This should probably be added to the overall release notes (if an
 IoStreams section is going to be added).


 The problem for developers and users of the V1.46 libraries, is that they
 may not have any idea that there was a fix implemented. I only noticed
 because I saw a mailing list message.
