The first preview of the next V2 milestone is available from

http://boost.sourceforge.net/boost-build2/boost-build.zip
http://boost.sourceforge.net/boost-build2/boost-build.tar.bz2

with documentation at 

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

The changes in this release are:

- Complete support for include dependencies between generated
sources was implemented.
- GNU gettext support was implemeneted.
- "inline" targets were implemented.
- Autoconfiguration of msvc and borland toolsets was improved.
- Bug with causes linking to system libraries to fail on windows in some
cases was fixed.
- Bug which prevented linking to system libraries with '.a' suffix on 
windows was fixed. 
- Support for <linkflags> and <archiveflags> features was added to borland
toolset.
- The implicit build of target can now be suppressed with "explicit" rule.
- Documentation was improved and new examples were added.

Since there were a lot of changes, including bjam core changes, I'd appreciate 
if some persons try M5 before official release, especially on Windows 
platform.

Thanks in advance,
Volodya
