Hi all.

According to the published schedule (see 
http://www.boost.org/development/index.html), the list of important 
dates for boost 1.59 is as follows:

* June 24th, closed for new libraries (I believe this also means, closed 
for breaking changes and new features)
* July 1st, closed for major changes
* July 8th, closed for all changes
* July 11th, completely closed
* July 15th, beta release
* July 16th, open for bugfixes only
* August 5th, closed for all changes
* August 12th, boost 1.59 release

My understanding is that we need to decide which among the open PRs is 
going into 1.59, which not.
Also summarize what people would like to have in 1.59, and until when 
they plan to submit a PR (we do need some time for reviewing too, so 
this basically means that any PRs introducing new functionality should 
be available within one week from today the latest, if I understand the 
schedule correctly).

I propose to merge develop into master the week between June 17th and 
June 24th.

All the best,

- m.
