--- Comment #67 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Joey Reid from comment #66) > Jan, > On behalf of everyone with 32-bit systems and everyone on Windows, I want to > thank you for taking the time to fix this issue.

No, quite the contrary--the decision to revert was the ESC's, the issue is not "fixed" and if anything an apology is due to David T. and Juan P. from the community for not hanging in there while the issues with the refactoring were resolved. The boost::rational refactoring for Fraction is a nice piece of code--it just needs a bit more work and review to make it right on 32-bit implementations. It is no different than the work Kohei did with the calc refactoring at 4.3--just a little more apparent to users of 32-bit builds. The price of QA and early adopters being intolerant of regressions caused by substantive rework of the code in master is stagnation of the project, and discouragement of talented developers to attempt any of the many things that could be improved in the code. I have no doubt that given a few more build cycles, the regression would have been resolved--and we'd have the Fraction structures implemented with more robust boost::rational methods. That is a shame. Stuart -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
