   Is the release still on schedule and expected to go out after 
31.07.2008.?

   Just wondering whether to start a new branch for tracking Boost Build 
changes until the release. There seems to be a few people contributing 
patches lately and I do not think we should risk disgruntling them due 
to the code freeze causing their patches not to get processed fast enough.

   Best regards,
