Hi Wayne,

Good news to see a new release, but I wonder about two things:

1. Boost 1.61 compatibility and bugfix?
2. Release version string.

Should the release should include the boost 1.61 fix. It was discussed in:
[Kicad-developers] About Bug 1604841: Pcbnew crash at moving via, and
boost::context fixes to make it compatible with boost 1.61

And there is a patch in [1], although it does not explicitly state
where it is from, but it looks similar to [2] and [3]. With out the
patch in [1] I can not build it against boost 1.62 on archlinux.

Secondly, I would like to know how we are supposed to set the release
infor for the version string. For the 4.0.0--4.0.4 you are supposed to
use the following options to set the version string:

-DKICAD_REPO_NAME=stable -DKICAD_BUILD_VERSION=4.0.5

But KICAD_REPO_NAME does not seem to exist anymore... even though I
set KICAD_BUILD_VERSION it gets overridden by the git info and the
version string becomes:
#define KICAD_FULL_VERSION "(2016-11-09 revision 18f77b8)-4.0"

I would have expected to get something like we are used to as,
"4.0.5-stable" for example.
