Subject: [Boost-users] [doc] Add "Last Update" information

Dear Boosters,

In my opinion it would be very helpful if the documentation include
for each library the version of the last update.

For instance, one could add this information in the summary page
(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0):
--- [snip] ---
uBLAS
    uBLAS provides matrix and vector classes ...

    Author(s)...........Joerg Walter and Mathias Koch
    First Release...1.29.0
-> Last Update......1.40.0 <-
    Standard
    Build & Link......Header only
    Categories........Math and numerics
--- [/snip] ---

The reason for this is that it should simplify the discovery of what
version of Boost one needs for his own software project.
As a matter of fact, the use of "First Release" might not be
sufficient because after the initial release of a library many other
features could have been added.
So the need for this additional piece of information.

What do you think?

Regards,

-- Marco
