The first preview of the next milestone release is available at
http://boost.sourceforge.net/boost-build2/boost-build.zip
http://boost.sourceforge.net/boost-build2/boost-build.tar.bz2
The changes from the previous release are:
- STLport support implemented.
- Added support for resource compiler.
- New syntax for target id is introduced; old one is available for a while.
- The msvc toolset was changed to produce warning, not error, when it
cannot find the compiler.
- Toolset modules, and project-root.jam, can act as project
modules. One-directory project can contain only 'project-root.jam', and
omit Jamfile.
- QT is usable by <library>/qt//qt, not by <uses>qt, as previously.
- Bugfix: C files are compiled in C mode, not in C++ mode --- which used
to cause errors.
- Bugfix: building from directory which name contains regex metacharacters
now works.
Because of target-id syntax changes, it's recommended to switch to the new
version.
I'd appreciate if a few persons try it out and report problems before final
release.
Thanks in advance,
Volodya
