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).
