Heh, few weeks to get new version.
With BCB it took years and years
and the result is still miserable.
Anyway, I tried few tests and some
problems still remain. I'll look into them.
Hopefully Arjan Knepper will generate a new
status table.

With 5.8.x they fixed some backend errors.
They claim they work on reaching Boost compatibility.

I had thought they were using EDG's front end - isn't that boost compatible?

I believe the situation is:
* They attempted to create brand new C++ compiler
with EDG frontend, named CBX. It failed in the market
and is now abandoned.
* Later, they resurrected work on BCB compiler,
fixing some codegen bugs and releasing it
as 5.8.0. Three updates followed.
Borland/DevCo/whatever the name plan
to continue with BCB and explicitly mention
Boost compatibility as one of targets.
