    My apologies for the delay in this posting, but the
review period  
for
the Time Series library submitted by Eric Neibler runs from
Monday, July
30 until Wednesday, August 8. From the documentation:

The purpose of the Boost.Time_series library is to provide
data
structures,  numerical operators and algorithms to operate
on time
series.  A time series is a series of data points, sampled
at regular
intervals. The  library provides numerous time series
containers, each
with different time/space  trade-offs, and a hierarchy of
concepts which
allow the time series to be manipulated  generically. The
library also
provides operators and algorithms which use the  generic
interfaces to
perform calculations on time series and accumulate various 
statistics
about them.

   Boost.Time_series does not yet contain all the algorithms
one might
want in  order to perform full time series analysis.
However, the key
contribution of  Boost.Time_series is the framework and the
rich
hierarchy of concepts with  which such algorithms can be
written to
efficiently and generically process  series of data with
widely
divergent in-memory representations and performance 
characteristics.
Boost.Time_series provides several such series containers, 
as well as
mechanisms for defining additional series types and
algorithms that  fit
within the framework. Some examples of series types that are
provided
are:  dense, sparse, piecewise constant, heaviside and
others, as well
as adaptors  for providing shifted, scaled and clipped
series views.

    Please notice that the Time Series library uses some
features of
boost that will be part off the 1.35 release, but are not I
the 1.34.1
release. For testing, you will need to either test against
CVS Head
(Which will not be available for much of Tuesday.) or use
backports
provided in the time series download files to update your
1.34.x
installation.

    The library is available from

or by following the link provided on the review schedule.

    Thanks to all for your time and effort on this review.
