Ditto.  And also Ticket #1726, which Jeff (the date_time maintainer)
emailed privately to say could be fixed using the patch provided in
the ticket.

I have sent patches for this and some other issues to Jeff for approval.
I hope we will manage to merge those fixes before the final release.

I also have patches for boost with gcc 4.3 - they attached to trac with
numbers 2301, 2303, 2304

may they will included into final release - they contain only variables
renaming to eliminate warnings

See svn.boost.org/svn/boost/tags/release/Boost_1_37_0_beta1

I almost forgot to do the tag. I really should change the release procedure
to run from the tags/release, but that only occurred to me recently and I
haven't had a chance to do it.

Thanks,

Not sure if anyone cares but:

I'm seeing this as well on FreeBSD-7.0-amd64 machine I have.  There
are a lot of warnings (mostly string casting which newer more stricter
gcc's don't like).

The good news is other than a small patch to
libs/regex/build/Jamfile.v2 (adding /usr/local/lib to search path) and
the setting of  LD_LIBRARY_PATH within gcc.jam, beta1 built
successfully on my FreeBSD machine!  (and the asio networking examples
seem to work just fine).

This release with some minor edits will be MUCH more friendlier to the
FreeBSD community for sure.

I ran regression tests on it as well and it had some failures - I
