There are several new classes in this version which are very useful and help increase performance, such as unordered_set and unordered_map, and classes that are required by new features, such as boost graph library.

Is this really a request for the core library, for the open source version or do you need this for department internal work?
For the open source version ANY boost version would be a completely new dependency.
I'm sorry. This request is not for the core library but to the modules (I'll modify the component to the correct one).
Currently, MITK is beeing tested with the 1.33 version, which does not have many of the new features. If I commit any of the stuff using the new classes the deshboard will turn red.
Boost library is currently at version 1.39. Version 1.36 already has all features I require. However, version 1.37 has some major bug fixes.
Is it possible to check the boost version number in your code? Klaus did something like this already IIRC. If that does not make sense we should try to check the boost version with CMake and disable the whole module if the version is too old.
The boost version number in my code is 1.37. I have already modified my code to be compatible if the earlier versions of boost.
I still think though, that the test version of boost has to be upgraded. Version 1.33 is already 4 years old!
Since the problem I had is solved, I am closing the bug. It is up to the MITK group to decide if you want to reopen it or not.
