Sorry. How about these points:

Performance: Oliver has not only worked to improve performance, he has
included and documented performance tests you can run on your own
hardware.

Documentation: The documentation now contains several new sections
explaining how to use the library for interesting/common use cases.
New examples are presented and documented.

API: The API has been aligned more closely with std::thread. C++14 is
not only supported but required. Move-only callables are supported.
Variadic parameters are supported. std::chrono is more generically
supported. Channels now support value_pop(). fiber_group has been
dropped. Migrating fibers between threads has been dropped.

That said, of course, it is up to each reviewer to state for him- or
herself whether s/he believes that the Fiber library should become
part of Boost. In particular, regardless of what Oliver or I might
synopsize, it is up to each previous reviewer to decide whether his
January 2014 objections have been addressed.
