Dear regression runners,

As we are closing in on the release, I'd like to ask everybody to 
switch from the release branch to tarball testing. 

If you are currently using "regression.py", the switch is almost 
trivial: 

1) Download the updated "regression.py" from 
   http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/regression.py

2) Download the archive of your choice:

    http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/200411020208/boost_1_32_0.tar.bz2
    http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/200411020208/boost_1_32_0.tar.gz
    http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/200411020208/boost_1_32_0.zip

3) Place the script and the archive in the same directory (e.g.
   the same one you are currently using for tests on the branch)

4) Modify the script command line to include '--local' option:

        python regression.py --local=<archive name> [<all other options>]

   For example,

        python regression.py --local=boost_1_32_0.zip --runner=metacomm
                --toolsets=msvc,vc7,vc-7_1,cw-8_3 --pjl-toolset=vc-7_1

5) That's it.

If you are using "collect_and_upload_logs.py", simply change '--tag=RC_1_32_0"
to "--tag=boost_1_32_0".

All test results will be uploaded to
ftp://fx.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/boost_1_32_0/, picked up by the 
reporting tools, and displayed in the usual location -- 
http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost-regression/developer/index.html.

Thank you!
