1.49.0

Fix #3714, Added test cases and fixes for class path errors when assignment or append used self or portion of self as source.
Fix #4889, #6320, Locale codecvt_facet not thread safe on Windows. Move Windows, Mac OS X, locale and codecvt facet back to namespace scope. POSIX except OS X uses local static initialization (IE lazy) to ensure exceptions are catchable if environmental variables are misconfigured and to avoid use of locale("") if not actually used.
Fix #5652, recursive_directory_iterator fails on cyclic symbolic links. Thanks to Daniel Aarno for the patch.
Fix #5653, recursive_directory_iterator(error_code) can still throw filesystem_error.
Fix #5900, directory_iterator access violation on Windows if error is thrown. Thanks to Andreas Eckleder for the patch.
Fix #5900 comment 2, a bug in director_iterator construction with error_code argument that caused increment to be called without the ec argument being passed.
Fix #5989 by cleaning up test suite path_test.cpp code even though the ticket itself was not a defect, and clarifying docs; iteration over a path yields generic format.
Fix #5592, Change Windows codecvt processing from CP_THREAD_ACP to CP_ACP.
Operations function fixes for PGI compiler, thanks to Noel Belcourt.
Relax permissions test to reflect reality, particularly on the Sandia test platforms.

Added operational function canonical(), suggested by David Svoboda, who also provided pseudo-code.
Added hash_value() function for paths. (Daniel James)
Fix path inserter problem (#5764) reported for QNX6.3.2 host (gcc-3.3.5)
Fix problem of locale("") exception being thrown before main() starts on poorly configured (e.g. LANG="bad name") POSIX systems. Resolves the most serious aspect of tickets #4688, #5100, #5289.

Program file_status.cpp added (V3). See boost-root/libs/filesystem/v3/example. Useful both as an example and to explore how Boost.Filesystem treats various status errors. Run "bjam" (NOT "bjam install") in the example directory to install in example/bin.

Version 3 of the library is now the default.
IBM vacpp: Workaround for compiler bug affecting iterator_facade. (#4912)
Verify, clarify, document that <boost/config/user.hpp> can be used to specify BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION. (#4891)
Replaced C-style assert with BOOST_ASSERT.
Undeprecated unique_path(). Instead, add a note mentioning the workaround for lack of thread safety and possible change to cwd. unique_path() is just too convenient to deprecate!
Cleared several GCC warnings.
Changed V2 code to use BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION.
Windows: Fix status() to report non-symlink reparse point correctly.
Add symlink_option to recursive_directory_iterator, allowing control over recursion into directory symlinks. Note that the default is changed to not recurse into directory symlinks.
Reference documentation cleanup, including fixing missing and broken links, and adding missing functions.
Miscellaneous implementation code cleanup.
