Still looks broken over here:

I think it's OK to revert the patch to get 1.30.0 out,
Which patch? John said the changes that caused the disturbance were never intended to be checked in.
Sorry, by "patch" I meant the CVS update from 1.5 -> 1.6/1.7.
but for the future, I think we should keep in mind that it's actually is_function
that is broken and needs to be fixed AFAICS.
I'm still wondering what happened. Please check everything what I say, as I already made too many errors wrt type-traits:
John added the test for is_function to the code that was intended for compilers that don't have partial specialization - which is why it failed as is_function needs partial specialization to work with references. But is_class also calls is_reference, so it seems that this does work, thus I think an implementation could be possible. But there is another point: AFAIK the GCC does support partial specialization, right? Given that this is true, the change in CVS can't fix something (as it is not used for the GCC) or the config for the GCC is broken - or I missed something obvious (again) :-} Even if we don't take the last point into account as it was maybe just an overlook from John when he accidentially committed the code to CVS, it's still the question whether is_function could be "fixed" given that is_reference seems to be available for compilers without partial specialization.
If it was easy enough it would be fixed long before the release. In any
case, I would be strongly opposite to sticking in a new implementation
just now. It's bad enough "the patch" got us delayed for more than a day.
I don't really wanted to suppose changes that defer the 1.30.0, I just tried to find a way to work around the lock-problem of SourceForge. OK, I think I should leave it to the experts now... :)
