Hi all, I am going to make a call here.
Here are the things as they stand (correct me if I am wrong): VisualStudio 2005 is slowly being phased out and VisualStudio 2008 is basically most installed. VisualStudio 2010 will take at least 2-3 years to start being adapted by the industry. If you use VisualStudio 6, you are very unlucky... (We only have to use it to make hot fixes for OLD versions.) On the gcc side of things 3.4 is the defacto standard. gcc 4.x is slowly taking on but it is very slow on the adaption. (MinGW for example is installing 3.4 as the stable version.) For starters, I will say that 1.5 will not support versions of Visual Studio prior 2005 and for gcc versions prior 3.4. What does that mean for the TR1 debate? If you can avoid it no TR1. If you need TR1 please give me a very good reason why this is the case. And for boost? Simple, UT has no dependencies other than a C++ compiler, I want it to stay this way. If you got a spiffy feature that build on top of some other library and it is really cool and useful we can include it as library or example code alongside UT. OpenGL based test reporter, anyone? If you really "need" a boost or TR1 feature or I will code it up for you. There are very good chances that I already have something similar on my drive...
