Hello *,

the link in the docs to Property Tree points to the wrong location.

http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/property_tree/index.html

if changing to http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs and clicking to Property Tree the link points to:

http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/property_tree/index.html

But this file does not exist either.

Many thanks,

Ovanes

The documentation isn't uploaded to the site until the final release.
You can see the property tree documentation in the download. The beta
site isn't really meant for general use.

This page doesn't include the updates to boost.thread. Can you remind me
which file I need to modify to fix that?

Also, I've made some doc changes on trunk. Is it OK to merge them to
release?

Ok, but where users can find beta-state documentation?
Beta site isn't really meant for general use, so everybody will
understand that your docs are beta.
I vote for PropertyTree docs on beta.boost.org :)

I agree with you. I don't want to download the entire package, just to look up the docs for the library of interest. Instead I'd like to see the docs online and decide whether I need the lib and should make the switch. 

Many thanks,

Ovanes

In the download. I also upload the trunk documentation whenever I
generate it, and subversion redirects to that. So if you start with
the link below you'll get redirected to a fairly recent version of the
trunk documentation.

Vote away, although opening a ticket on trac is more effective. The
problem is that the way the site's designed, it's a bit of pain to do
that just for the sake of putting the beta documentation up for a week
or so.

We're not google, our beta period really is for testing. You should
probably wait the release, which won't be long.
