Boost.Log: YES it's used in my application (a multi-process, multi-threaded
game) and works well so far.
Others did use Boost.Log in production with high praise.

Boost.Process: Yes but it depends what exactly you need as some feature are
still being discussed/worked.
I use it to spawn processes, but that's really the basic feature. I think
it still needs some changes,
as discussed in this mailing list, but I think it's current state is ok if
you just want to spawn "simple" processes.

Currently I use networking for communication between processes, because I
can't assume they are running in the same computer.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking if it's in git? I think it's in
SVN.

AFAIK the bleeding-edge and trunk have been merged recently, so use trunk
(it's boost.log v2 indeed).
I hope there will be a mini-review soon so that we finally can have it
available by default.
