I just entered a documentation ticket #5258 (apologies if I didn't get
the correct components and version settings...).
It looks like there was at least one important fix for the Iostreams
library that occurred in V1.46. The fix was for ticket #4590
However, there is no end user documentation (release notes) that this
fix occurred.
It would be nice if a note could be added to the library release notes
for this release. To help out I added a proposed patch to the above
ticket which contains a change for the iostreams library release notes
documentation (I hope this looks okay).
Ideally it would be nice if a note could be added to the relevant
"http://www.boost.org/users/download/version_1_46_0" what's new page for
iostreams too.
I would have added a quick patch for this too, but I don't know where
this lives in the source tree (the contents of above patch is probably
all that needs to be added).
