I will upgrade the Boost headers in devlibs to something more recent.
Ooh, then this probably needs looking at.
If it is a problem with older versions of the BOOST libraries, then updating the libs on windows is really just suppressing a symptom rather than fixing the root cause. A little autoconf tweak, or just using existing #ifdefs should fix it for all platforms.
Remember, we have a lot of packagers out there, and many distros don't update their libraries as often as we'd like. Also keeping Inkscape to supporting as many platforms as we can is actually a strong selling point vs. Illustrator and such.
Ideally we'd be able to get the code compilable with older BOOST versions, and then go ahead and also update the version in our windows devlibs.
Thanks.
