Hi,
here they are a list of 26 feature requests for Boost.Thread. The
features are classified as high, middle and low cost (form my point of
view of course)
I would like to know which features would you like to find on the next
release. Please could you choose 3 features and if possible one for each
category, the idea been to provide 1 high, 1 middle and 2 low features
for the next release.
