 In [http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_47_0.html Boost 1.47]:


 > The official name of Boost.Build executable was changed to b2.


 The current documentation, however, does not indicate this change and it
 still refers to bjam command in numerous places. Note, the
 *tools/build/v2/doc/history.qbk* files does not mention the renaming
 either.

 I have discussed this issue in [http://lists.boost.org/boost-

 build/2013/10/27064.php bjam vs b2] thread on the boost-build list.

 Here is patch with attempt to add the missing clarification and replace
 old references to '''bjam''' with either '''Boost Build''' or '''b2''',
 depending on the context.

 By the way, which should be preferred in the documentation, '''Boost
 Build''' or '''Boost.Build'''? Currently, both forms are mixed randomly.
