Hey. 

The boost maintainers are planning to update the boost versions
to the current release (1.44.0) in rawhide for F14. This is in keeping
with the general plan to sync with boost every six months or so.

See more detail here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/F14Boost144

Suggested plan is to push this to devel in the next 24 hrs, which will
be announced on fedora-devel-announce at redhat.com. 

It is anticipated that this update will be less work than the
1.39->1.41 transition.

This update changes the SONAME of boost libraries, and adds some new
libraries. All boost dependencies will have to be rebuilt. As always,
timely assistance from package maintainers is welcome. 

best,
-benjamin
