5529	Problem with boost::filesystem::path	Leo Carreon <lcarreon@…>	Beman Dawes	"Hi,

I upgraded my Boost libraries from version 1.45.0 to 1.46.1 and now the behavior of the following test program has changed:

  #include <iostream>
  #include <iomanip>
  #include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

  using std::cout;
  using std::endl;
  using boost::filesystem::path;

  int main()
  {
    path vPath(""data/testfile"");
    vPath.make_preferred();

    cout << ""vPath = "" << vPath.string() << endl;
  }

When running the above on Windows using Boost version 1.45.0, I get the following result:

  vPath = data\testfile

But now runnning the above on Windows using Boost version 1.46.1, I get the following result:

  vPath = data/testfile

Was this behavior change intentional because the documentation states that the behavior should be as per the result using Boost 1.45.0.

Regards,

Leo
