Most of interesting changes are related to ma::handler_storage class.

Release notes in short:
1.  Refactoring & reformat done.
2.  Switched to Boost C++ Libraries 1.51. 
3.  Patches for Boost C++ Libraries 1.51 added (Intel ones are the only mandatory).
4.  Switched to Qt 4.8.3.
5.  ma::handler_storage::target() uses typed pointer than can be specified (default is void) by ma::handler_storage
template's parameter.
6.  ma::handler_storage class: support of type erasure based on virtual member function added (see
MA_TYPE_ERASURE_USE_VURTUAL at include/ma/config.hpp:108).
7.  ma::handler_storage<void, Target = void> supported, i.e. no-arg handlers are supported.
8.  base_hook class of intrusive containers fixed (copy ctor & copy assignment operator).
9.  Switched from scoped_lock to boost::lock_guard.
10. Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013 support added (MSVS 2012 based project).
11. Intel C++ Compiler (12.x-13.x) doesn't need /vmg option anymore (echo_server and nmea_client projects). Thanks to
separation of declaration and definition parts.
12. "asio::io_service instance per each work thread" mode added to projects: echo_server, qt_echo_server, async_connect,
asio_performance_test_client.
13. async_basics project revisited (simplified).

Tested (built + simple manual functional test) on:
