I'm pleased to announce that the next milestone release of Boost.Build V2 is 
available at

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost-build-2.0-m4.tar.bz2
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost-build-2.0-m4.zip

See also 

http://boost.sourceforge.net/boost-build2/

for online docs (a copy is included in distribution). Changes in this release 
are:

- STLport support implemented.
- Added support for resource compiler.
- New syntax for target id is introduced; old one is available for a while.
- The msvc toolset was changed to produce warning, not error, when it cannot
find the compiler. 
- Toolset modules, and project-root.jam, can act as project
modules. One-directory project can contain only 'project-root.jam', and omit
Jamfile. 
- QT is usable by /qt//qt, not by qt, as previously.
- Bugfix: C files are compiled in C mode, not in C++ mode --- which used to
cause errors.
- Bugfix: building from directory which name contains regex metacharacters
now works.

All users are advised to upgrade.

Comments are welcome.
