No. I have changed the condition variable implementation in 1.35.0, in part to
provide support for condition_variable_any, and the change to boost.datetime
for timeouts, and in part because there were certain properties of the 1.34.1
algorithm I thought were suboptimal. As a last resort, I could
reimplement the 1.34.1 algorithm.

I've attached a patch for boost/thread/win32/condition_variable.hpp vs the
1.35.0 release to this email.
