Boost release tag frozen since 3 years ? #110

Closed ilelann closed 3 years ago

ilelann commented 3 years ago

Hello, I am puzzled by https://github.com/boostorg/program_options/releases

I fell on this while trying to understand why I got warnings about boost/bind placeholders in global namespace even though this is fixed since long in this repository : https://github.com/boostorg/program_options/commit/a2379420f67071e997d0d2aecd1d782c04db9ce7

Any reason why new Boost releases don't get new program_options code ?

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer. The commit you mention is this

After applying it to the develop branch, I have failed to merge it to master, so it stayed on the develop branch until this

    Merge branch 'master' into develop

Release 1.76.0 was made on April 16, so I am really unsure why a merge made on Feb 2 was not included. I'll ask on Slack.

After discussion on Slack, the conclusion is that the above is entirely my fault. I forgot to merge that commit and another one after, and there were no further commits, so the master branch only got those commits around Jun 9 as part of unrelated work. Hopefully next release will include the change.

SInce the master and develop branches are now exactly in sync, I'll close the issue. Thanks for the report!
