Version 1.46.1

March 12th, 2011 15:45 GMT

Updated Libraries

• Asio:
      - EV_ONESHOT seems to cause problems on some versions of Mac OS X, with
        the io_service destructor getting stuck inside the close() system call.
        Changed the kqueue backend to use EV_CLEAR instead (#5021).
      - Fixed compile failures with some versions of g++ due to the use of
        anonymous enums (#4883).
      - Fixed a bug on kqueue-based platforms, where some system calls that
        repeatedly fail with EWOULDBLOCK are not correctly re-registered with
        kqueue.
      - Changed asio::streambuf to ensure that its internal pointers are
        updated correctly after the data has been modified using std::streambuf
        member functions.
      - Fixed a bug that prevented the linger socket option from working on
        platforms other than Windows.
  • Fusion:
      - Fix disable_if for Visual C++ 7.1/8.0
  • Filesystem:
      - Fix for STLPort (#5217).
      - PGI large file support
  • Graph:
      - Bug fixes, including fixes for: #5181, #5180, #5199 and #5175.
  • Icl:
      - Intersects for interval_maps and segment_type/element_type (#5207).
      - Fixed some ambiguous calls to functions in boost and std namespaces.
      - Other bug fixes, and documentation fixes.
  • Math:
      - Several minor bug fixes.
  • Polygon:
      - Disabled 45-degree booleans optimization.
  • Proto:
      - Make display_expr copyable (#5096).
      - Fix const correctness problem in pass_through.
  • Property Tree:
      - Fix compile error in JSON parser.
  • Signals2:
      - Fix unused parameter warning.
  • TR1:
      - Allow specialization of std::tr1::hash.
      - Improved support for Pathscale and Sun compilers.
  • Unordered:
      - Add missing copy constructors and assignment operators when using
        rvalue references (#5119).
