New Libraries STLInterfaces: A library of CRTP bases to ease the writing of STL views, iterators, and sequence containers, from Zach Laine. Updated Libraries ... [More] Asio: Added an implementation of the proposed standard executors (P0443r13, P1348r0, and P1393r0). Added support for the proposed standard executors to Asio's I/O facilities. The supplied executors now meet the requirements for the proposed standard executors. These classes also continue to meet the existing requirements for the Networking TS model of executors. All I/O objects, asynchronous operations, and utilities will interoperate with both new proposed standard executors, and with existing Networking TS executors. The any_io_executor type alias has been introduced as the default runtime-polymorphic executor for all I/O objects. This defaults to the execution::any_executor<> template. If required for backward compatibility, BOOST_ASIO_USE_TS_EXECUTOR_AS_DEFAULT can be defined to use the old asio::executor polymorphic wrapper instead. Support for the existing Networking TS model of executors can be disabled by defining BOOST_ASIO_NO_TS_EXECUTORS. Added converting move construction and assignment to basic_waitable_timer. Enabled C++20 coroutine support when using gcc 10. Added overloads of co_spawn that launch an awaitable. Added a new constructor overload to use_awaitable_t's default executor adapter, to enable conversion between executor types. Added support for using detached_t as a default completion token, by adding members as_default_on() and as_default_on_t<>. Added a move constructor to ssl::stream<>. Changed ssl::stream<> write operations to linearise gather-write buffer sequences. Added compile-time detection of the deprecated asio_handler_invoke, asio_handler_allocate, and asio_handler_deallocate hooks, when BOOST_ASIO_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Implemented a number of performance optimisations. Added source location support to handler tracking. Implemented various improvements to the handlerviz.pl tool. Added the handlerlive.pl tool, which processes handler tracking output to produce a list of "live" handlers. Added the handlertree.pl tool, which filters handler tracking output to include only those events in the tree that produced the nominated handlers. Added changes for clang-based Embarcadero C++ compilers. Fixed a deadlock that can occur when multiple threads concurrently initialise the Windows I/O completion port backend. Fixed async_compose to work with copyable handlers when passed by lvalue. Fixed completion signature deduction in co_spawn. Removed a spurious Executor base class from the executor_binder implementation. Various fixes and improvements in the documentation and examples. Consult the Revision History for further details. Atomic: Added missing const qualifiers to some operations in atomic_ref. Added support for yield instruction on ARMv8-A. The instruction is used internally in spin loops to reduce CPU power consumption. Added support for C++20 waiting and notifying operations. The implementation includes generic backend that involves the internal lock pool, as well as specialized backends for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD and NetBSD. Atomic types provide a new method has_native_wait_notify, a static boolean constant always_has_native_wait_notify and a set of capability macros that allow to detect if the implementation supports native waiting and notifying operations for a given type. Changed internal representation of atomic_flag to use 32-bit storage. This allows for more efficient waiting and notifying operations on atomic_flag on some platforms. Added support for build-time configuration of the internal lock pool size. The user can define the BOOST_ATOMIC_LOCK_POOL_SIZE_LOG2 macro to specify binary logarithm of the size of the lock pool. The default value is 8, meaning that the size of the lock pool is 256, up from 64 used in the previous release. Added support for a new set of atomic types dedicated for inter-process communication: ipc_atomic_flag, ipc_atomic and ipc_atomic_ref. Users are recommended to port their code using non-IPC types for inter-process communication to the new types. The new types provide the same set of operations as their non-IPC counterparts, with the following differences: Most operations have an added precondition that is_lock_free returns true for the given atomic object. The library will issue a compile time error if this precondition is known to be not satisfied at compile time. All provided operations are address-free, meaning that the atomic object (in case of ipc_atomic_ref - the referenced object) may be located in process-shared memory or mapped into the same process at multiple different addresses. The new has_native_wait_notify operation and always_has_native_wait_notify constant indicate support for native inter-process waiting and notifying operations. When that support is not present, the operations are implemented with a busy loop, which is less efficient, but still is address-free. A separate set of capability macros is also provided to indicate this support. Added new atomic_unsigned_lock_free and atomic_signed_lock_free types introduced in C++20. The types indicate the atomic object type for an unsigned or signed integer, respectively, that is lock-free and preferably has native support for waiting and notifying operations. Added new gcc assembler backends for ARMv8-A (for both AArch32 and AArch64). The new backends are used to implement operations not supported by compiler intrinsics (including 128-bit operations on AArch64) and can also be used when compiler intrinsics are not available. Both little and big endian targets are supported. AArch64 backend supports extensions defined in ARMv8.1 and ARMv8.3. Added support for big endian targets in the legacy ARM backend based on gcc assembler blocks (this backend is used on ARMv7 and older targets). Previously, the backend assumed little endian memory layout, which is significant for 64-bit operations. Improved performance of seq_cst stores and thread fences on x86 by using lock-prefixed instructions instead of mfence. This means that the operations no longer affect non-temporal stores, which was also not guaranteed before. Use specialized instructions and intrinsics to order non-temporal memory accesses. Fixed capability macros for 80-bit long double on x86 targets not indicating lock-free operations even if 128-bit atomic operations were available. Fixed compilation of gcc asm blocks on Alpha targets. In the gcc __sync* intrinsics backend, fixed that store and load operations of large objects (larger than a pointer size) could be non-atomic. The implementation currently assumes that small objects can be stored with a single instruction atomically on all modern architectures. Beast: This update brings bug fixes and support for the following changes changes in Boost.Asio: Beast supports BOOST_ASIO_NO_DEPRECATED. Define this to help identify areas of your Beast and Asio code which use deprecated Asio interfaces. Beast also supports BOOST_ASIO_NO_TS_EXECUTORS. Define this to identify uses of executors from the now potentially outdated Networking TS Asio will use the Standard Executors model by default. You can prevent this behaviour by defining BOOST_ASIO_USE_TS_EXECUTOR_AS_DEFAULT in which the Networking TS model will be used by default. Setting this flag does not prevent a program from using executors from the Standard Executors model explicitly. We'd love to know how you or your company use Beast, consider adding an entry to the Companies and Individuals Using Beast list. See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes. Bimap: Correct allocator usage (fixes C++20 compilation). (Glen Fernandes) Config: Implement BOOST_NO_CXX11_OVERRIDE and BOOST_OVERRIDE. (Glen Fernandes) Core: Implemented the allocator access utilities which provide a replacement for allocator_traits with individual traits and functions for each facility. They support the C++11 allocator model when possible and provide a fallback for C++98 compatibility. These are now used in Circular_Buffer, Wave, Lockfree, Heap, Smart_Ptr, Dynamic_Bitset, Format, Bimap and more. (Glen Fernandes) DLL: Multiple fixes for the library_info work on empty shared objects. Compilation fixes for C++98 and C++11 modes (#28). Fixes for smart_library manglings (thanks to XiaLiChao82 #37). Endian: Enabled scoped enumeration types in endian_reverse. Enabled bool, enum, float, double in endian_reverse_inplace. Added an overload of endian_reverse_inplace for arrays. Filesystem: Removed compile-time checks for support for symlinks and hardlink on Windows. Instead, a runtime check is used. (PR#142) Fixed handling of reparse points in canonical and read_symlink on Windows. This also affects other algorithms that involve canonical and read_symlink in their implementation. (PR#100, #85, #99, #123, #125) Fixed that read_symlink on Windows could potentially fail or cause failures elsewhere with a sharing violation error, if the same symlink was opened concurrently. (#138) Fixed that is_symlink(directory_entry) would always return false, even if the directory entry actually referred to a symlink. (PR#148) Added missing status inspection operation overloads for directory_entry and error_code (e.g. is_directory(directory_entry, error_code&)). Removed incorrect noexcept specifications for the overloads not taking the error_code arguments. copy_file implementation has been updated to perform checks on the source and target files, as required by C++20 ([fs.op.copy.file]/4.1). In particular, the operation will fail if the source or target file is not a regular file or the source and target paths identify the same file. copy_file on POSIX systems will now also copy the source file permissions to the target file, if the target file is overwritten. New: Added copy_file implementations based on sendfile and copy_file_range system calls on Linux, which may improve file copying performance, especially on network filesystems. Deprecated: The copy_option enumeration that is used with the copy_file operation is deprecated. As a replacement, the new enum copy_options (note the trailing 's') has been added. The new enum contains values similar to the copy_options enum from C++20. The old enum values are mapped onto the new enum. The old enum will be removed in a future release. New: Added copy_options::skip_existing option, which allows copy_file operation to succeed without overwriting the target file, if it exists. New: Added copy_options::update_existing option, which allows copy_file operation to conditionally overwrite the target file, if it exists, if its last write time is older than that of the replacement file. New: copy_file now returns bool, which indicates whether the file was copied. New, breaking change: copy operation has been extended and reworked to implement behavior specified in C++20 [fs.op.copy]. This includes support for copy_options::recursive, copy_options::copy_symlinks, copy_options::skip_symlinks, copy_options::directories_only, copy_options::create_symlinks and copy_options::create_hard_links options. The operation performs additional checks based on the specified options. Applying copy to a directory with default copy_options will now also copy files residing in that directory (but not nested directories or files in those directories). New: Added create_directory overload taking two paths. The second path is a path to an existing directory, which is used as a source of permission attributes to use in the directory to create. Deprecated: copy_directory operation has been deprecated in favor of the new create_directory overload. Note that the two operations have reversed order of the path arguments. equivalent on POSIX systems now returns the actual error code from the OS if one of the paths does not resolve to a file. Previously the function would return an error code of 1. (#141) equivalent no longer considers file size and last modification time in order to test whether the two paths refer to the same file. These checks could result in a false negative if the file was modified during the equivalent call. New: Added absolute overloads taking error_code argument. Operations that have current_path() as the default value of their arguments and also have an error_code argument will use the current_path(error_code& ec) overload to obtain the current path, so that its failure is reported via the error_code argument instead of an exception. space now initializes the space_info structure members to -1 values on error, as required by C++20 ([fs.op.space]/1). space on Windows now accepts paths referring to arbitrary files, not only directories. This is similar to POSIX systems and corresponds to the operation description in C++20. (#73) New: Added implementation of temp_directory_path for Windows CE. (PR#25) New: Improved compatibility with WASI platform. (PR#144) New: Improved support for Embarcadero compilers. (PR#130) New: Added implementations of unique_path operation based on getrandom (Linux), arc4random_buf (OpenBSD/FreeBSD/CloudABI) and BCrypt (Windows) system APIs. Deprecated: Auto-linking against system libraries on Windows with MSVC-compatible compilers is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. This affects users linking against static library of Boost.Filesystem. Users are advised to update their project build systems to either use a shared library of Boost.Filesystem, or explicitly specify the dependencies of Boost.Filesystem in the linker command line. Users of shared library of Boost.Filesystem are not affected. Flyweight: Maintenance work. Format: Correct allocator usage (fixes C++20 compilation). (Glen Fernandes) Geometry: Improvements PR#720 Additional R-tree constructors (thanks to Caian Benedicto). Various improvements in buffer, set and relational operations. Solved issues #709 memcpy called for object with no trivial copy-assignment. #721 Compilation error in bgi::detail::rtree::visitors::insert. #727 MSVC warning: conditional expression is constant. Bugfixes PR#700 Missing cases for default strategies in distance algorithm. PR#738 Longitudes out of range in direct geodesic formulas. GIL: Added Added new constructor initializing any_image from r-value reference to any image (PR#486). Implemented mechanism to reverse kernel_2d (PR#489). Changed BREAKING: Replace Boost.Variant with Boost.Variant2 (PR#474) which completes removal on uses of Boost.MPL (missing from Boost 1.72.0 change added PR#274). Use perfect forwarding from apply_operation to visit (PR#491). Removed BREAKING: Removed dependency on Boost.Variant Fixed Fixed invalid conversion from RGB8 to CMYK32 due to overflow (PR#470). Fixed image constructor from other image (PR#477). Fixed error plane_view_t is not a class or namespace name (PR#481). Fixed interleaved_view factory using point<std::ptrdiff_t> for dimension (PR#487). Fixed documentation replacing uses MPL with MP11 in tutorial (PR#494). Fixed missing header in numeric/kernel.hpp to make it self-contained (PR#502). Acknowledgements Samuel Debionne, Pranam Lashkari, Mateusz Loskot, Debabrata Mandal Heap: Correct destruction of top node in skew_heap. (Glen Fernandes) Correct and simplify allocator use. (Glen Fernandes) Integer: Fixed compilation of gcd in C++20 mode with clang 10. Improved support for Embarcadero compilers. (PR#21) Iterator: boost/function_output_iterator.hpp header is now deprecated. Users should replace its inclusion with boost/iterator/function_output_iterator.hpp. (PR#51) Improved support for Embarcadero compilers. (PR#55) LexicalCast: Fixed warnings on missing override (thanks to EugeneZelenko #35, #34). Fixes for the the Embarcadero compilers (thanks to Edward Diener). Log: Bug fixes: The syslog sink backend now verifies the IP version of the local and target addresses set by user. The addresses must have the same IP version as was specified in the ip_version named parameter on the sink backend construction (by default, IPv4 is assumed). When an address is obtained as a result of host name resolution, only addresses with matching IP version are considered. (#119) New Features: Move constructors and assignment operators of various components were marked noexcept. Added a new range_manip stream manipulator that can be used for outputting elements of a range, optionally separated by a delimiter. Added a new tuple_manip stream manipulator that can be used for outputting elements of a tuple or any other heterogeneous sequence, optionally separated by a delimiter. Added a new optional_manip stream manipulator that can be used for outputting optionally present values. See changelog for more details. Mp11: Improved compilation performance of mp_with_index<N> for large N. Added tuple_transform (contributed by Hans Dembinski.) Multi-index Containers: Added node extraction and insertion following the analogous interface of associative containers as introduced in C++17. This feature has also been extended to non key-based indices, in contrast to C++ standard library sequence containers, which do not provide such functionality. Clarified documentation on read/write key extractors (issue #32). Maintenance work. Nowide: The library now requires a C++11-compliant compiler and stdlib LFS: Add support for files > 2 GB where the underlying system supports it Generic UTF conversion functions are now available in the boost::nowide::utf namespace Add support for stat with UTF-8 paths Outcome: Announcements: The v2.1 branch is expected to be retired end of 2020, with the v2.2 branch becoming the default. You can use the future v2.2 branch now using better_optimisation. This branch has a number of major breaking changes to Outcome v2.1, see the front page for details. Enhancements: BREAKING CHANGE void results and outcomes no longer default construct types during explicit construction. Previously if you explicitly constructed a result<T> from a non-errored result<void>, it default constructed T. This was found to cause unhelpful surprise, so it has been disabled. New macro OUTCOME_ENABLE_LEGACY_SUPPORT_FOR. The macro OUTCOME_ENABLE_LEGACY_SUPPORT_FOR can be used to enable aliasing of older naming and features to newer naming and features when using a newer version of Outcome. Concepts now have snake case style naming instead of camel case style. When Outcome was first implemented, it was thought that C++ 20 concepts were going to have camel case style. This was changed before the C++ 20 release, and Outcome's concepts have been renamed similarly. This won't break any code in Outcome v2.1, as compatibility aliases are provided. However code compiled against Outcome v2.2 will need to be upgraded, unless OUTCOME_ENABLE_LEGACY_SUPPORT_FOR is set to 210 or lower. Concepts now live in OUTCOME_V2_NAMESPACE::concepts namespace. Previously concepts lived in the convert namespace, now they live in their own namespace. New concepts basic_result<T> and basic_outcome<T> added. End users were finding an unhelpful gap in between is_basic_result<T> and value_or_error<T> where they wanted a concept that matched types which were basic_result, but not exactly one of those. Concepts filling that gap were added. Operation TRY works differently from Outcome v2.2 onwards. This is a severely code breaking change which change the syntax of how one uses OUTCOME_TRY(). A regular expression suitable for upgrading code can be found in the list of changes between Outcome v2.1 and v2.2. Bug fixes: #224 The clang Apple ships in Xcode 11.4 (currently the latest) has not been patched with the fixes to LLVM clang that fix noexcept(std::is_constructible<T, void>) failing to compile which I originally submitted years ago. So give up waiting on Apple to fix their clang, add a workaround to Outcome. Spare storage could not be used from within no-value policy classes. Due to an obvious brain fart when writing the code at the time, the spare storage APIs had the wrong prototype which prevented them working from within policy classes. Sorry. PolyCollection: Fixed internal ambiguity problem between boost::type_erasure::any and boost::any (issue #17). Maintenance work. SmartPtr: Added owner_equals to shared_ptr, weak_ptr, local_shared_ptr. Added owner_hash_value to shared_ptr, weak_ptr. Added owner_equal_to, owner_hash. Added std::hash specializations for shared_ptr, local_shared_ptr. Added boost::hash support to, and std::hash, std::equal_to specializations for, weak_ptr. Stacktrace: Fixed a build error when compiled with -fno-exceptions (thanks to Jeremiah Rodriguez #91). System: operator bool() now returns failed() instead of value() != 0. Type_Traits: Implemented conjunction, disjunction, negation, is_trivially_copyable, is_scoped_enum, and is_unscoped_enum. (Glen Fernandes) Variant: Fixed warnings on missing override (thanks to EugeneZelenko #78). Fixes for the the Embarcadero compilers (thanks to Edward Diener #79). Updated header locations to avoid warnings about using deprecated headers (thanks to Andrey Semashev #80) Variant2: Added support for derived types in visit. Improved compilation performance for many (hundreds of) alternatives. Added support for visit<R>. Wave: Implement C++20 features for variadics, including __VA_OPT__ (PR#75) Implement __has_include (PR#102) Introduce new sample: check_macro_naming, useful with Boost itself (PR#97) Fix compilation issue caused by std::allocator member removal in C++20 (PR#72) Repair Xpressive lexer and token_statistics sample (PR#79) Repair lexertl lexer (PR#78) Ensure hooks are run on predefined macros as well (PR#87) Various minor bug fixes C++98/03 support is now deprecated and will be removed in 1.77 YAP: Fixed compilation errors for placeholders; they now work in the general case, and in particular work with yap::print(). constexpr all the YAP. Fix printing of correct value category in yap::print(). Doc clarification. Updated Tools Boostbook: Change encoding of generated documentation from US-ASCII to UTF-8.

Known Issues These are patches from library authors which were found too late to be fixed in the release. Be careful as they have not been through the normal testing process. ... [More] Outcome status_code_domain assertion removal Outcome patch Beast and coroutines Beast patch New Libraries Nowide: Standard library functions with UTF-8 API on Windows, from Artyom Beilis. StaticString: A dynamically resizable string of characters with compile-time fixed capacity and contiguous embedded storage, from Vinnie Falco and Krystian Stasiowski Updated Libraries Align: Update aligned_alloc to support older mingw32. Any: Speedup compilation by not including <algorithm>. Maintenance work, including CI hardening. Asio: Fixed compatibility with C++20 concept syntax. Marked the POSIX descriptor classes' move constructors as noexcept. Added the ssl::host_name_verification class, which is a drop-in replacement for ssl::rfc2818_verification. The ssl::rfc2818_verification class has been marked as deprecated. As a consequence of this change, SSL support now depends on functions that were introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.2. Added an ssl::context constructor to take ownership of a native handle. Changed C++ language version detection with gcc to use __cplusplus macro. Fixed a work counting issue in the asynchronous resolve operation for endpoints. Fixed the strand<> converting constructors and assignment operators. Ensured that resolvers are restarted correctly after a fork. Fixed compatibility with the current NetBSD release. Removed spurious handler requirement checks in some async_read overloads. Changed the ssl::context class to propagate non-EOF errors from the add_certificate_authority function. Fixed a Windows-specific thread_pool destructor hang that occurred when the pool had an associated I/O object. Changed the select reactor to recreate the "self pipe trick" sockets on error. This addresses an issue on some versions of Windows, where these sockets are discconected after a system sleep. Fixed a compile error in the buffered streams due to the lack of reference collapsing in C++98. Changed the priority_scheduler example to demonstrate calls to shutdown() and destroy(). Removed some unnecessary null pointer checks. Changed Windows platform detection to recognise TV titles as Windows apps. Added some emscripten compatibility patches. Fixed a compile error in the use_awaitable_t::as_default_on function. Changed all uses of the boost.bind placeholders to use the boost::placeholders namespace. Fixed a potential compile error in the async_compose implementation due to incorrect overload selection. Suppressed some non-virtual destructor warnings. Various documentation fixes and improvements. Assert: Added source_location. Atomic: Implemented C++20 atomic_ref. See docs and especially the caveats section. Implemented atomic_flag::test operation, which was introduced in C++20. atomic<T> should now take into account alignment requirements of T, which makes a difference if those requirements are higher than that of the internal storage of atomic. Added static asserts enforcing the requirements on the value type T used with atomic and atomic_ref. This should prohibit invalid types from being used as atomics. Improved internal lock pool implementation. The pool is larger, and lock selection accounts for atomic object alignment, which should reduce the potential of thread contention. Fixed incorrect x86 code generated for bit_test_and_* operations on 8 and 16-bit arguments. Other architectures are not affected. Fixed a possible unaligned memory access in compare_exchange_* operations, if alignment requirements of value_type are less than that of the internal storage of atomic. boost/atomic/atomic.hpp no longer includes boost/atomic/atomic_flag.hpp and boost/atomic/fences.hpp and only defines the boost::atomic class template and related typedefs. Include the other headers explicitly or use boost/atomic.hpp to include all parts of Boost.Atomic. The atomic<T>::storage() accessor and associated atomic<T>::storage_type type are deprecated. Instead, users are advised to use atomic<T>::value() and atomic<T>::value_type, respectively. Users can define BOOST_ATOMIC_SILENCE_STORAGE_DEPRECATION to disable deprecation warnings for the time of transition. The deprecated pieces will be removed in a future release. Removed support for BOOST_ATOMIC_DETAIL_HIGHLIGHT_OP_AND_TEST. This macro was used as a helper for transition to the updated returned values of *_and_test operations in Boost.Atomic 1.67, which was released 2 years before 1.73. Beast: This is a maintenance update. Nested mutable_data_type in Beast dynamic buffers is deprecated. We'd love to know how you or your company use Beast, consider adding an entry to the Companies and Individuals Using Beast list. See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes. Context: #133: IBM Z: Fix fcontext routines #132: mips64/n64: .align 3 #131: Use OSPLAT MIPS32/MIPS64 to set different ABI #129: Fix non-PIC in RISC-V assembly Conversion: Added boost::polymorphic_downcast for references (thanks to Julien Delacroix for the patch).

Changed Replace Boost.Test with Boost.LightweightTest as the only test framework used in GIL (PR#459) and (PR#464). This also restructured the test/extension/io/ sub-tree and targets in related Jamfile-s. Removed remaining uses of Boost.MPL (PR#459). Renamed all macros using BOOST_GIL_ prefix (PR#411). Renamed all CMake configuration options using BOOST_GIL_ prefix (PR#419). Changed Removed extension/dynamic_image/reduce.hpp as unused and possibly unfinished (PR#466).

Acknowledgements Samuel Debionne, Thiago Henrique Hüpner, Pranam Lashkari, Mateusz Loskot, Debabrata Mandal, Olzhas Zhumabek Histogram: New features Added crop command to reduce algorithm slice command in reduce now works on category axis Added count accumulator, can be used to add arbitrary metadata to each cell sum algorithm gained a new argument to optionally sum only over inner bins Several fixes for bugs in corner cases Enhanced documentation How to use Boost.Histogram as a backend in an external API More on how to use Boost.Histogram with custom accumulators and Boost.Accumulators More on how to use reduce Updated benchmarks See the full changelog here icl: PR#23: Remove references to date_time compiled library. PR#17: Fix forward decl lower and upper less equal. Misc bugfixes. IO: Made all the IOS state saver classes non-copyable. (Glen Fernandes) Correctly handle error upon first read from the input stream when reading a quoted string. (Glen Fernandes) Implemented ostream_joiner for delimiter based joining. (Glen Fernandes) Relocated ostream_string from the Utility library to the IO library as ostream_put. Correctly handle stream width and fill in quoted output. (Glen Fernandes) Optimize quoted output to write directly to the stream buffer. (Glen Fernandes) Glen Fernandes became the maintainer of the IO library. LexicalCast: Maintenance work, including CI hardening and better workarounds for broken standard libraries (thanks to Nikita Kniazev #31, #32). Log: New Features: Default sink used in trivial logging, when no sinks are registered in the logging core, now automatically flushes output after each log record. (#103) core::flush now performs a flush on the default sink used for trivial logging, when no sinks are registered. Bug fixes: Added a workaround for some syslog API implementations (e.g. glibc), which do not save the application identification string in openlog call. Such implementations could access already freed memory on each syslog call, resulting in undefined behavior. (#97) Fixed that log file rotation on a specific day of month (e.g. rotation_at_time_point(boost::gregorian::greg_day(1))) could be silently ignored and not happen. (#98) Fixed that text_file_backend::rotate_file could throw if there were no log records written yet and target file name pattern was set. Ported various components of the library to std::allocator_traits to improve compatibility with C++20 allocators. Fixed compilation errors when building in MSYS2 Cygwin environment. (#102) See changelog for more details. Math: IMPORTANT: C++03 support is now deprecated and will be removed from March 2021. Added Cubic Hermite Interpolation. Added Modified Akima Interpolation. Added PCHIP Interpolation. Added Quintic Hermite Interpolation. Added entropy to numerous distributions. Allow trivial quadrature case where the two end points are equal, and in addition allow bounds to be interchanged. Fix exp_sinh quadrature to work with complex types over a non-native range. Fix miscellaneous compiler warnings in factorial.hpp. Use std::chrono rather than boost::chrono in timed pFq calculations. Remove much of the old boost::mpl dependencies to improve constexpr support. Mp11: Added mp_unique_if (contributed by Kris Jusiak) Added mp_flatten Added mp_rotate_left, mp_rotate_right (contributed by Duncan Barber) Added mp_compose Added mp_power_set Added mp_partial_sum Added mp_iterate Multi-index Containers: multi_index_container is now AllocatorAware. Swapping of internal KeyFromValue, Compare, Hash and Pred objects now selects the appropriate swap function between std::swap and ADL candidates, in accordance with standard specifications in [swappable.requirements] (issue #29). Provided some internal copy constructors and assignment operators whose default implicit definition is deprecated in C++11 onwards ([depr.impldec]), which was warned about on some compilers. Maintenance work. Multiprecision: IMPORTANT: Mark C++03 support as deprecated and due for removal in 2021. Big update to cpp_int adds faster Karatsuba and Coomba multiplication routines. Fix conversion of gmp_rational to long double and __float128, fixes #178. Fix up libtommath support to function with the latest libtom releases. Fix up some incompatibilities with the latest Intel C++ compiler. Fix up constexpr arithmetic support for latest MSVC release. Outcome: Enhancements: Performance of Outcome-based code compiled by clang has been greatly improved. The previous implementation of Outcome's status bitfield confused clang's optimiser, which caused low quality codegen. Unlike most codegen issues, this was noticeably in empirical benchmarks of real world code, as was shown by P1886 Error speed benchmarking. The safe part of the better_optimisation Outcome v2.2.0 future branch was merged to Outcome v2.1.3 which includes a new status bitfield implementation. This appears to not confuse clang's optimiser, and clang 9 produces code which routinely beats GCC 9's code for various canned use cases. Installability is now CI tested per commit. Due to installability of standalone Outcome (e.g. make install) breaking itself rather more frequently than is ideal, installability is now tested on CI per commit. Bug fixes: #214 Newer Concepts implementing compilers were unhappy with the early check for destructibility of T and E, so removed template constraints, falling back to static assert which runs later in the type instantiation sequence. #220 A false positive undefined behaviour sanitiser failure in some use cases of Experimental Outcome was worked around to avoid the failure message. PolyCollection: Suppressed a potential redundant move warning in boost::poly_collection::for_each. Fixed a bug by which elements were copied rather than moved in allocator-extended move construction and move assigment between collections with non-propagating, unequal allocators. Allocator-extended move construction no longer decays to allocator-extended copy construction for the legacy version of libstdc++-v3 shipped with GCC 4.8 (which can also be used by Clang). Stacktrace: Added documentation on distribution of PDBs #55, #47 (thanks to emptyVoid and Roger Orr for information and to zlojvavan for testing). Fixed msvc-9 build Maintenance work, including test fixes #86, fixing typos #84, CI improvements and hardening, inspect tool fixes. Test: Boost.test v3.13 see the Changes log for more details. New feature: It is now possible to combine tolerance indication, user message and collection comparison modifier in a single BOOST_TEST expression. See change logs for more details. Bug fixes and pull requests: GitHub Issues: #173, #179, #220, #221, #235 #237, #241, #245, #246, #251, #253 #254, #263 Trac tickets: #11107 GitHub Pull Requests: PR#41, PR#114, PR#187, PR#239, PR#247 PR#252, PR#259, PR#265 ThrowException: Added an overload of throw_exception that takes a boost::source_location object. NOTE: Projects using BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION with exceptions disabled will need to add a definition of this new overload. TTI: Added introspection of function templates for more recent C++ compilers versions from gcc and vc++. as well as all versions of clang. Older versions of vc++ before 14.0 and gcc prior to 4.8 may fail. Added specific introspection for elements of struct/class, enum, and union types, which can be used for more fine-grained introspection than the general 'type' introspection. TypeIndex: Maintenance work, including CI integration with inspect tool. Utility: The ostream_string facility has moved from the Utility library to the IO library as ostream_put. Variant: Removed unused includes (thanks to Nikita Kniazev #74). Fixed zero-as-null-pointer-constat warnings (thanks to Bart Siwek #77). Maintenance work, including typo fixes. Variant2: Added support for std::hash, boost::hash. variant<T...> is now trivial when all types in T... are trivial. This improves performance by enabling it to be passed to, and returned from, functions in registers. WinAPI: Headers in boost/detail/winapi are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Boost.WinAPI headers no longer include winerror.h. Include boost/winapi/error_codes.hpp to get Windows error codes. (#81) Updated Tools Build: Includes release 4.2.0 of B2.

Known Issues These are patches from library authors which were found too late to be fixed in the release. Be careful as they have not been through the normal testing process. ... [More] Outcome status_code_domain assertion removal Outcome patch Beast and coroutines Beast patch New Libraries Nowide: Standard library functions with UTF-8 API on Windows, from Artyom Beilis. StaticString: A dynamically resizable string of characters with compile-time fixed capacity and contiguous embedded storage, from Vinnie Falco and Krystian Stasiowski Updated Libraries Align: Update aligned_alloc to support older mingw32. Any: Speedup compilation by not including <algorithm>. Maintenance work, including CI hardening. Asio: Fixed compatibility with C++20 concept syntax. Marked the POSIX descriptor classes' move constructors as noexcept. Added the ssl::host_name_verification class, which is a drop-in replacement for ssl::rfc2818_verification. The ssl::rfc2818_verification class has been marked as deprecated. As a consequence of this change, SSL support now depends on functions that were introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.2. Added an ssl::context constructor to take ownership of a native handle. Changed C++ language version detection with gcc to use __cplusplus macro. Fixed a work counting issue in the asynchronous resolve operation for endpoints. Fixed the strand<> converting constructors and assignment operators. Ensured that resolvers are restarted correctly after a fork. Fixed compatibility with the current NetBSD release. Removed spurious handler requirement checks in some async_read overloads. Changed the ssl::context class to propagate non-EOF errors from the add_certificate_authority function. Fixed a Windows-specific thread_pool destructor hang that occurred when the pool had an associated I/O object. Changed the select reactor to recreate the "self pipe trick" sockets on error. This addresses an issue on some versions of Windows, where these sockets are discconected after a system sleep. Fixed a compile error in the buffered streams due to the lack of reference collapsing in C++98. Changed the priority_scheduler example to demonstrate calls to shutdown() and destroy(). Removed some unnecessary null pointer checks. Changed Windows platform detection to recognise TV titles as Windows apps. Added some emscripten compatibility patches. Fixed a compile error in the use_awaitable_t::as_default_on function. Changed all uses of the boost.bind placeholders to use the boost::placeholders namespace. Fixed a potential compile error in the async_compose implementation due to incorrect overload selection. Suppressed some non-virtual destructor warnings. Various documentation fixes and improvements. Assert: Added source_location. Atomic: Implemented C++20 atomic_ref. See docs and especially the caveats section. Implemented atomic_flag::test operation, which was introduced in C++20. atomic<T> should now take into account alignment requirements of T, which makes a difference if those requirements are higher than that of the internal storage of atomic. Added static asserts enforcing the requirements on the value type T used with atomic and atomic_ref. This should prohibit invalid types from being used as atomics. Improved internal lock pool implementation. The pool is larger, and lock selection accounts for atomic object alignment, which should reduce the potential of thread contention. Fixed incorrect x86 code generated for bit_test_and_* operations on 8 and 16-bit arguments. Other architectures are not affected. Fixed a possible unaligned memory access in compare_exchange_* operations, if alignment requirements of value_type are less than that of the internal storage of atomic. boost/atomic/atomic.hpp no longer includes boost/atomic/atomic_flag.hpp and boost/atomic/fences.hpp and only defines the boost::atomic class template and related typedefs. Include the other headers explicitly or use boost/atomic.hpp to include all parts of Boost.Atomic. The atomic<T>::storage() accessor and associated atomic<T>::storage_type type are deprecated. Instead, users are advised to use atomic<T>::value() and atomic<T>::value_type, respectively. Users can define BOOST_ATOMIC_SILENCE_STORAGE_DEPRECATION to disable deprecation warnings for the time of transition. The deprecated pieces will be removed in a future release. Removed support for BOOST_ATOMIC_DETAIL_HIGHLIGHT_OP_AND_TEST. This macro was used as a helper for transition to the updated returned values of *_and_test operations in Boost.Atomic 1.67, which was released 2 years before 1.73. Beast: This is a maintenance update. Nested mutable_data_type in Beast dynamic buffers is deprecated. We'd love to know how you or your company use Beast, consider adding an entry to the Companies and Individuals Using Beast list. See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes.

Variant: Removed unused includes (thanks to Nikita Kniazev #74). Fixed zero-as-null-pointer-constat warnings (thanks to Bart Siwek #77). Maintenance work, including typo fixes. Variant2: Added support for std::hash, boost::hash. variant<T...> is now trivial when all types in T... are trivial. This improves performance by enabling it to be passed to, and returned from, functions in registers. WinAPI: Headers in boost/detail/winapi are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Boost.WinAPI headers no longer include winerror.h. Include boost/winapi/error_codes.hpp to get Windows error codes. (#81) Updated Tools Build: Includes release 4.2.0 of B2.

Known Issues These are patches from library authors which were found too late to be fixed in the release. Be careful as they have not been through the normal testing process. ... [More] Outcome status_code_domain assertion removal Outcome patch Beast and coroutines Beast patch New Libraries Nowide: Standard library functions with UTF-8 API on Windows, from Artyom Beilis. StaticString: A dynamically resizable string of characters with compile-time fixed capacity and contiguous embedded storage, from Vinnie Falco and Krystian Stasiowski Updated Libraries Align: Update aligned_alloc to support older mingw32. Any: Speedup compilation by not including <algorithm>. Maintenance work, including CI hardening. Asio: Fixed compatibility with C++20 concept syntax. Marked the POSIX descriptor classes' move constructors as noexcept. Added the ssl::host_name_verification class, which is a drop-in replacement for ssl::rfc2818_verification. The ssl::rfc2818_verification class has been marked as deprecated. As a consequence of this change, SSL support now depends on functions that were introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.2. Added an ssl::context constructor to take ownership of a native handle. Changed C++ language version detection with gcc to use __cplusplus macro. Fixed a work counting issue in the asynchronous resolve operation for endpoints. Fixed the strand<> converting constructors and assignment operators. Ensured that resolvers are restarted correctly after a fork. Fixed compatibility with the current NetBSD release. Removed spurious handler requirement checks in some async_read overloads. Changed the ssl::context class to propagate non-EOF errors from the add_certificate_authority function. Fixed a Windows-specific thread_pool destructor hang that occurred when the pool had an associated I/O object. Changed the select reactor to recreate the "self pipe trick" sockets on error. This addresses an issue on some versions of Windows, where these sockets are discconected after a system sleep. Fixed a compile error in the buffered streams due to the lack of reference collapsing in C++98. Changed the priority_scheduler example to demonstrate calls to shutdown() and destroy(). Removed some unnecessary null pointer checks. Changed Windows platform detection to recognise TV titles as Windows apps. Added some emscripten compatibility patches. Fixed a compile error in the use_awaitable_t::as_default_on function. Changed all uses of the boost.bind placeholders to use the boost::placeholders namespace. Fixed a potential compile error in the async_compose implementation due to incorrect overload selection. Suppressed some non-virtual destructor warnings. Various documentation fixes and improvements. Assert: Added source_location. Atomic: Implemented C++20 atomic_ref. See docs and especially the caveats section. Implemented atomic_flag::test operation, which was introduced in C++20. atomic<T> should now take into account alignment requirements of T, which makes a difference if those requirements are higher than that of the internal storage of atomic. Added static asserts enforcing the requirements on the value type T used with atomic and atomic_ref. This should prohibit invalid types from being used as atomics. Improved internal lock pool implementation. The pool is larger, and lock selection accounts for atomic object alignment, which should reduce the potential of thread contention. Fixed incorrect x86 code generated for bit_test_and_* operations on 8 and 16-bit arguments. Other architectures are not affected. Fixed a possible unaligned memory access in compare_exchange_* operations, if alignment requirements of value_type are less than that of the internal storage of atomic. boost/atomic/atomic.hpp no longer includes boost/atomic/atomic_flag.hpp and boost/atomic/fences.hpp and only defines the boost::atomic class template and related typedefs. Include the other headers explicitly or use boost/atomic.hpp to include all parts of Boost.Atomic. The atomic<T>::storage() accessor and associated atomic<T>::storage_type type are deprecated. Instead, users are advised to use atomic<T>::value() and atomic<T>::value_type, respectively. Users can define BOOST_ATOMIC_SILENCE_STORAGE_DEPRECATION to disable deprecation warnings for the time of transition. The deprecated pieces will be removed in a future release. Removed support for BOOST_ATOMIC_DETAIL_HIGHLIGHT_OP_AND_TEST. This macro was used as a helper for transition to the updated returned values of *_and_test operations in Boost.Atomic 1.67, which was released 2 years before 1.73. Beast: This is a maintenance update. Nested mutable_data_type in Beast dynamic buffers is deprecated. We'd love to know how you or your company use Beast, consider adding an entry to the Companies and Individuals Using Beast list. See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes. Context: #133: IBM Z: Fix fcontext routines #132: mips64/n64: .align 3 #131: Use OSPLAT MIPS32/MIPS64 to set different ABI #129: Fix non-PIC in RISC-V assembly Conversion: Added boost::polymorphic_downcast for references (thanks to Julien Delacroix for the patch). Significant docs update. date_time: #123: Support constexpr in c++14 and above #134: Make date_time all inline. Users no longer need to link the library for any functions. Library remains for build compatibility. #132: Deprecate support for legacy io and USE_DATE_TIME_PRE_1_33_FACET_IO macro Misc documentation updates and bugfixes. DLL: Fixes and tests for demangling in boost::dll::smart_library (thanks to Ramil Gauss for #35). Make UB sanitizers happy with boost::dll::load_mode::type #30. Ceased dependence on MPL improving compile times (thanks to Nikita Kniazev for #34). Clang and ICC on Windows fixes and CI support for those platforms (thanks to Nikita Kniazev #33). Maintenance work, including CI hardening and tests improving. Dynamic Bitset: Fixed a portability issue in the definition of the maximum block limit. Flyweight: Maintenance work. Geometry: Improvements PR#650 Missing input combinations in intersection() and introduction of tupled-output. PR#671 Added d3::point_xyz geometry model (thanks to Digvijay Janartha).

PR#687 Fixed dangling reference in distance algorithm. Deprecation #590 Support for C++03 has been deprecated and Geometry will require C++14 from Boost 1.75 onwards. GIL: Added Added move constructor and move assignment operator to image class (PR#457). New member function size() in any_image_view class (PR#456). Changed Replace Boost.Test with Boost.LightweightTest as the only test framework used in GIL (PR#459) and (PR#464). This also restructured the test/extension/io/ sub-tree and targets in related Jamfile-s. Removed remaining uses of Boost.MPL (PR#459). Renamed all macros using BOOST_GIL_ prefix (PR#411). Renamed all CMake configuration options using BOOST_GIL_ prefix (PR#419). Changed Removed extension/dynamic_image/reduce.hpp as unused and possibly unfinished (PR#466). An implementation attempt of techniques described in the paper Efficient Run-Time Dispatching in Generic Programming with Minimal Code Bloat by Lubomir Bourdev, Jaakko Jarvi. Removed direct dependency on Boost.MPL, Boost.System and Boost.Test. Started removing public macros for compile-time configuration of I/O extension tests, i.e. BOOST_GIL_IO_TEST_ALLOW_READING_IMAGES and BOOST_GIL_IO_TEST_ALLOW_WRITING_IMAGES. Instead, if a test target is built, it builds all its test cases unconditionally. Fixed Avoid longjmp interaction during destruction of I/O extension objects (PR#433). Fixed missing alignment default value in constructor of image class (PR#429). Fixed segmentation fault when reading corrupted PNG file (PR#414). Fixed illegal initialization of return values in the old IOv1 interface of I/O extension (PR#409). Acknowledgements Samuel Debionne, Thiago Henrique Hüpner, Pranam Lashkari, Mateusz Loskot, Debabrata Mandal, Olzhas Zhumabek Histogram: New features Added crop command to reduce algorithm slice command in reduce now works on category axis Added count accumulator, can be used to add arbitrary metadata to each cell sum algorithm gained a new argument to optionally sum only over inner bins Several fixes for bugs in corner cases Enhanced documentation How to use Boost.Histogram as a backend in an external API More on how to use Boost.Histogram with custom accumulators and Boost.Accumulators More on how to use reduce Updated benchmarks See the full changelog here icl: PR#23: Remove references to date_time compiled library. PR#17: Fix forward decl lower and upper less equal. Misc bugfixes. IO: Made all the IOS state saver classes non-copyable. (Glen Fernandes) Correctly handle error upon first read from the input stream when reading a quoted string. (Glen Fernandes) Implemented ostream_joiner for delimiter based joining. (Glen Fernandes) Relocated ostream_string from the Utility library to the IO library as ostream_put. Correctly handle stream width and fill in quoted output. (Glen Fernandes) Optimize quoted output to write directly to the stream buffer. (Glen Fernandes) Glen Fernandes became the maintainer of the IO library. LexicalCast: Maintenance work, including CI hardening and better workarounds for broken standard libraries (thanks to Nikita Kniazev #31, #32). Log: New Features: Default sink used in trivial logging, when no sinks are registered in the logging core, now automatically flushes output after each log record. (#103) core::flush now performs a flush on the default sink used for trivial logging, when no sinks are registered. Bug fixes: Added a workaround for some syslog API implementations (e.g. glibc), which do not save the application identification string in openlog call. Such implementations could access already freed memory on each syslog call, resulting in undefined behavior. (#97) Fixed that log file rotation on a specific day of month (e.g. rotation_at_time_point(boost::gregorian::greg_day(1))) could be silently ignored and not happen. (#98) Fixed that text_file_backend::rotate_file could throw if there were no log records written yet and target file name pattern was set. Ported various components of the library to std::allocator_traits to improve compatibility with C++20 allocators. Fixed compilation errors when building in MSYS2 Cygwin environment. (#102) See changelog for more details. Math: IMPORTANT: C++03 support is now deprecated and will be removed from March 2021. Added Cubic Hermite Interpolation. Added Modified Akima Interpolation. Added PCHIP Interpolation. Added Quintic Hermite Interpolation. Added entropy to numerous distributions. Allow trivial quadrature case where the two end points are equal, and in addition allow bounds to be interchanged. Fix exp_sinh quadrature to work with complex types over a non-native range. Fix miscellaneous compiler warnings in factorial.hpp. Use std::chrono rather than boost::chrono in timed pFq calculations. Remove much of the old boost::mpl dependencies to improve constexpr support. Mp11: Added mp_unique_if (contributed by Kris Jusiak) Added mp_flatten Added mp_rotate_left, mp_rotate_right (contributed by Duncan Barber) Added mp_compose Added mp_power_set Added mp_partial_sum Added mp_iterate Multi-index Containers: multi_index_container is now AllocatorAware. Swapping of internal KeyFromValue, Compare, Hash and Pred objects now selects the appropriate swap function between std::swap and ADL candidates, in accordance with standard specifications in [swappable.requirements] (issue #29). Provided some internal copy constructors and assignment operators whose default implicit definition is deprecated in C++11 onwards ([depr.impldec]), which was warned about on some compilers. Maintenance work. Multiprecision: IMPORTANT: Mark C++03 support as deprecated and due for removal in 2021. Big update to cpp_int adds faster Karatsuba and Coomba multiplication routines. Fix conversion of gmp_rational to long double and __float128, fixes #178. Fix up libtommath support to function with the latest libtom releases. Fix up some incompatibilities with the latest Intel C++ compiler. Fix up constexpr arithmetic support for latest MSVC release. Outcome: Enhancements: Performance of Outcome-based code compiled by clang has been greatly improved. The previous implementation of Outcome's status bitfield confused clang's optimiser, which caused low quality codegen. Unlike most codegen issues, this was noticeably in empirical benchmarks of real world code, as was shown by P1886 Error speed benchmarking. The safe part of the better_optimisation Outcome v2.2.0 future branch was merged to Outcome v2.1.3 which includes a new status bitfield implementation. This appears to not confuse clang's optimiser, and clang 9 produces code which routinely beats GCC 9's code for various canned use cases. Installability is now CI tested per commit. Due to installability of standalone Outcome (e.g. make install) breaking itself rather more frequently than is ideal, installability is now tested on CI per commit. Bug fixes: #214 Newer Concepts implementing compilers were unhappy with the early check for destructibility of T and E, so removed template constraints, falling back to static assert which runs later in the type instantiation sequence. #220 A false positive undefined behaviour sanitiser failure in some use cases of Experimental Outcome was worked around to avoid the failure message. PolyCollection: Suppressed a potential redundant move warning in boost::poly_collection::for_each. Fixed a bug by which elements were copied rather than moved in allocator-extended move construction and move assigment between collections with non-propagating, unequal allocators. Allocator-extended move construction no longer decays to allocator-extended copy construction for the legacy version of libstdc++-v3 shipped with GCC 4.8 (which can also be used by Clang). Stacktrace: Added documentation on distribution of PDBs #55, #47 (thanks to emptyVoid and Roger Orr for information and to zlojvavan for testing). Fixed msvc-9 build Maintenance work, including test fixes #86, fixing typos #84, CI improvements and hardening, inspect tool fixes. Test: Boost.test v3.13 see the Changes log for more details. New feature: It is now possible to combine tolerance indication, user message and collection comparison modifier in a single BOOST_TEST expression. See change logs for more details. Bug fixes and pull requests: GitHub Issues: #173, #179, #220, #221, #235 #237, #241, #245, #246, #251, #253 #254, #263 Trac tickets: #11107 GitHub Pull Requests: PR#41, PR#114, PR#187, PR#239, PR#247 PR#252, PR#259, PR#265 ThrowException: Added an overload of throw_exception that takes a boost::source_location object. NOTE: Projects using BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION with exceptions disabled will need to add a definition of this new overload. TTI: Added introspection of function templates for more recent C++ compilers versions from gcc and vc++. as well as all versions of clang. Older versions of vc++ before 14.0 and gcc prior to 4.8 may fail. Added specific introspection for elements of struct/class, enum, and union types, which can be used for more fine-grained introspection than the general 'type' introspection. TypeIndex: Maintenance work, including CI integration with inspect tool. Utility: The ostream_string facility has moved from the Utility library to the IO library as ostream_put. Variant: Removed unused includes (thanks to Nikita Kniazev #74). Fixed zero-as-null-pointer-constat warnings (thanks to Bart Siwek #77). Maintenance work, including typo fixes. Variant2: Added support for std::hash, boost::hash. variant<T...> is now trivial when all types in T... are trivial. This improves performance by enabling it to be passed to, and returned from, functions in registers. WinAPI: Headers in boost/detail/winapi are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Boost.WinAPI headers no longer include winerror.h. Include boost/winapi/error_codes.hpp to get Windows error codes. (#81) Updated Tools Build: Includes release 4.2.0 of B2.

Updated Libraries Asio: Changed the async_initiate helper function to automatically deduce its return type, for C++11 or ... [More] later. Changed all asynchronous operations to use automatically deduced return types, for C++14 or later. Introduced concepts to support async_initiate. Added the nested template type rebind_executor to all I/O object types. Changed the initiation function objects to report their associated I/O executor via the nested type executor_type and member function get_executor(). Added the default_completion_token trait, giving I/O executor types an associated default completion token type for use with asynchronous operations. This trait is specialised for the use_awaitable completion token, for example, to allow asynchronous operations to be used as follows: co_await socket.async_connect(my_endpoint). Added missing async_initiate to the Windows-specific I/O objects' asynchronous operations. Ensured that the executor type is propagated to newly accepted sockets. Changed to require that Protocol copy and move operations never throw. Changed to require that Endpoint default constructor and move operations never throw. Added the noexcept qualifier to protocol accessors. Added the noexcept qualifier to socket move constructors. Fixed issues associated with opening serial ports on Windows: Use the correct constant to initialise the RTS control flag. Specify a default baud rate (9600). Fixed a lost "outstanding work count" that can occur when an asynchronous accept operation is automatically restarted. Consult the Revision History for further details. Atomic: Added a workaround for __float128 not being considered as a floating point type by some versions of libstdc++. Improved compatibility with clang-win compiler. Beast: This is a maintenance update containing bug fixes, and updates to use the new features delivered in Boost.Asio. We'd love to know how you or your company use Beast, consider adding an entry to the Companies and Individuals Using Beast list. See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes. Circular Buffer: Fix issue #29: max_size() now takes the allocator's max_size() into account. (Glen Fernandes) Context: architecture s390x supported execution_context removed Endian: Made endian_reverse, conditional_reverse and *_to_* constexpr on GCC and Clang Added convenience load and store functions Added floating point convenience typedefs Added a non-const overload of data(); changed its return type to unsigned char* Added __int128 support to endian_reverse when available Added a convenience header boost/endian.hpp Filesystem: Extracted filesystem_error to exception.hpp; file_status and associated enums and functions to file_status.hpp; directory_entry, directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator to directory.hpp. Deprecated: For backward compatibility operations.hpp still includes the new headers exception.hpp, file_status.hpp and directory.hpp, unless BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED macro is defined. These implicit includes are considered deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Users are encouraged to include the new headers directly or include filesystem.hpp. The filesystem_error exception is now implemented in the compiled library of Boost.Filesystem. Users may need to add linking with Boost.Filesystem library in their projects. On POSIX.1-2008 platforms, use utimensat instead of utime. utime is declared obsolete in POSIX.1-2008 and can be disabled e.g. in uClibc-ng. (PR#115) directory_iterator is now left in the end state on memory allocation errors. In directory_iterator on POSIX systems, support for readdir/readdir_r has been reworked to avoid memory allocations for dirent structures when readdir is used. This reduces memory consumption and eliminates the possibility of buffer overruns in case if readdir produces a very long directory name. On Windows, use Boost.WinAPI to select the target Windows version. New: Added directory_options enum, which reflects the same named enum from C++20. The enum is supported in directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator to customize iteration behavior. In particular, the iterators now support skipping directories that can't be opened due to insufficient permissions. The symlink_option enum is now deprecated and should be replaced with directory_options. By default, recursive_directory_iterator is now reset to the end state in case of errors, as required by C++20. (#112) New: Added directory_options::pop_on_error option, which configures recursive_directory_iterator so that it attempts to recover from iteration errors by repeatedly invoking pop() until it succeeds or the end state is reached. (#113) New: Added directory_options::skip_dangling_symlinks option, which configures recursive_directory_iterator so that it doesn't follow dangling directory symlinks and continues iteration instead of reporting an error. Deprecated: The following members of recursive_directory_iterator are now marked as deprecated: level(), no_push_pending(), no_push_request(), no_push(). Users are advised to replace their use with the standard counterparts: depth(), recursion_pending(), disable_recursion_pending(). Note that recursion_pending() has the opposite meaning compared to no_push_pending() and no_push_request(). Deprecated methods will be removed in a future release. Fixed path::lexically_relative (and any dependent algorithms) to correctly handle empty, dot and dot-dot path elements in its argument. The behavior is made closer to C++17 std::path::lexically_relative in that empty and dot path elements are ignored and dot-dot path elements are accounted by decreasing the number of dot-dot path elements to generate in the resulting relative path. (#76) Functional/Factory: Glen Fernandes rewrote the implementations of factory and value_factory to provide the following features: Support r-value arguments when possible Support arbitrary number of arguments via variadic templates when possible Support allocators that are final Support allocators that use fancy pointers Support for disabled exceptions (BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS) Improved compilation times The following features have been removed: Increasing limits for C++03 compilers through BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_VALUE_FACTORY_MAX_ARITY Using boost::none_t in place of void through BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_FACTORY_SUPPORT_NONE_T GIL: Added GSoC 2019: Lanczos resampling for image down scaling (PR #309). GSoC 2019: Methods for binary thresholding, inverted binary thresholding and truncation thresholding (PR #313). GSoC 2019: Otsu thresholding method (PR #314). GSoC 2019: Adaptive thresholding using mean or gaussian-weighted sum of the neighbourhood area (PR #315). GSoC 2019: Harris response calculation (corner detector without non-maximum filtering) (PR #350). GSoC 2019: Hessian corner detector (PR #364). GSoC 2019: Types for defining 2D kernel, kernel_2d and kernel_2d_fixed, in Numeric extension (PR #361). GSoC 2019: Implementation of 2D convolution as new function convolve_2d (PR #367). GSoC 2019: Box filtering using the average filter (PR #383). GSoC 2019: Blur function based on normalized mean filter (PR #383). GSoC 2019: Sobel and Scharr operators (PR #392). GSoC 2019: Median filter to remove noise from image (PR #393). Continued adding new test cases and significantly improved overall test coverage. Documented purpose of cached_location_t (PR #287). Function convolve_1d in Numeric extension for convenient use of convolve_rows and convolve_cols (PR #347) and PR #367). Function extend_boundary in Numeric extension to perform image boundary extension (PR #386). Project release notes maintained in Markdown file RELEASES.md (PR #404). Changed Move all tests, core features and extensions, inside test/ directory (PR #302). Removed Replace Boost.MPL with Boost.MP11 (PR #274). Removed use of Boost.TypeTraits (PR #274). Dropped support for GCC <= 4.8 (PR #296). Remove include/boost/gil/version.hpp file as unused (PR #403). Fixed Undetermined value of default-initialized channel and pixel objects (PR #273). Undefined behaviour due to std::is_trivially_default_constructible specializations (PR #284). Crash when reading PNG files with an invalid header (PR #385). Applied the Rule of Three for numerous types. Removed uses of deprecated implicit definition of defaulted copy assignment operator or copy constructor. Histogram: Several new features and performance improvements, some bug-fixes See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes Log: Improved compatibility with clang-win compiler. MPI: Documentation clarifications. Fixed scatterv bug when using explicit input buffer offsets. Enable usage of MPI_Probe and friend with Intel MPI >= 2019.4 Symbol visibility on Windows Math: Added Hypergeometric functions 1F0, 0F1, 2F0, 1F1 and pFq. Added Jacobi polynomial (and derivatives) evaluation. Added Gegenbauer polynomial (and derivatives) evaluation. Added Cardinal B-Splines (and derivatives) as polynomial functions in their own right. Added Cardinal Trigonometric Interpolation. Added new statistics sub-section. Added One Sample Student's T Test. Added Anderson Darling test for normality. Added Ljung Box test for auto-correlation. Added Runs test for random sequences. The headers boost/math/tools/univariate_statistics.hpp and boost/math/tools/bivariate_statistics.hpp, have been deprecated in favor of boost/math/statistics/univariate_statistics.hpp and boost/math/statistics/bivariate_statistics.hpp. Added The Empirical CDF distribution. Reworked the Sterling approximation used by multiprecision gamma functions to be applicable to all the function that use the Lanczos approximation at regular precision. Also extended Lanczos approximations up to 100 decimal digit precision. Multiprecision: Big constexpr update allows cpp_int and float128 arithmetic to be fully constexpr with gcc and clang 9 or later, or any compiler supporting std::is_constant_evaluated(). Fix bug in variable precision mpf_float which causes it to go into a tailspin trying to select the correct precision - see https://github.com/boostorg/multiprecision/issues/164. Outcome: Enhancements: Standalone outcome is now make install-able, and cmake find_package() can find it. Note that you must separately install and find_package() Outcome's dependency, quickcpplib, else find_package() of Outcome will fail. The git submodule mechanism used by standalone Outcome of specifying dependent libraries has been replaced with a cmake superbuild of dependencies mechanism instead. Upon cmake configure, an internal copy of quickcpplib will be git cloned, built and installed into the build directory from where an internal find_package() uses it. This breaks the use of the unconfigured Outcome repo as an implementation of Outcome, one must now do one of: 1. Add Outcome as subdirectory to cmake build. 2. Use cmake superbuild (i.e. ExternalProject_Add()) to build and install Outcome into a local installation. 3. Use one of the single header editions. For standalone Outcome, the current compiler is now checked for whether it will compile code containing C++ Concepts, and if it does, all cmake consumers of Outcome will enable C++ Concepts. Set the cmake variable CXX_CONCEPTS_FLAGS to an empty string to prevent auto detection and enabling of C++ Concepts support occurring. OUTCOME_TRY operation now hints to the compiler that operation will be successful. [P1886 Error speed benchmarking](https://wg21.link/P1886) showed that there is considerable gain in very small functions by hinting to the compiler whether the expression is expected to be successful or not. OUTCOME_TRY previously did not hint to the compiler at all, but now it does. A new suite of macros OUTCOME_TRY_FAILURE_LIKELY hint to the compiler that failure is expected. If you wish to return to the previously unhinted behaviour, define OUTCOME_TRY_LIKELY(expr) to (!!expr). #199 Support for C++ Coroutines has been added. This comes in two parts, firstly there is now an OUTCOME_CO_TRY() operation suitable for performing the TRY operation from within a C++ Coroutine. Secondly, in the header outcome/coroutine_support.hpp there are implementations of eager<OutcomeType> and lazy<OutcomeType> which let you more naturally and efficiently use basic_result or basic_outcome from within C++ Coroutines -- specifically, if the result or outcome will construct from an exception pointer, exceptions thrown in the coroutine return an errored or excepted result with the thrown exception instead of throwing the exception through the coroutine machinery (which in current compilers, has a high likelihood of blowing up the program). Both eager<T> and lazy<T> can accept any T as well. Both have been tested and found working on VS2019 and clang 9. #210 make_error_code() and make_exception_ptr() are now additionally considered for compatible copy and move conversions for basic_result<>. This lets you construct a basic_result<T, E> into a basic_result<T, error_code>, where E is a custom type which has implemented the ADL discovered free function error_code make_error_code(E), but is otherwise unrelated to error_code. The same availability applies for exception_ptr with make_exception_ptr() being the ADL discovered free function. basic_outcome<> has less support for this than basic_result<> in order to keep constructor count down, but it will accept via this mechanism conversions from basic_result<> and failure_type<>. Bug fixes: #184 The detection of [[nodiscard]] support in the compiler was very mildly broken. PolyCollection: Maintenance work. Preprocessor: Topic added which discusses emptiness Support for the C++20 __VA_OPT__ construct BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_HAS_OPT whether __VA_OPT__ is supported at the C++20 level BOOST_PP_CHECK_EMPTY test for emptiness using __VA_OPT__ at the C++20 level BOOST_PP_VA_OPT more flexible alternative to __VA_OPT__ at the C++20 level Smart Pointers: Implemented allocate_unique for scalars and arrays. (Glen Fernandes) Test: Boost.test v3.12 see the Changes log for more details. New feature: Support for C++17 std::string_view has been added.

Known Issues These are patches from library authors which were found too late to be fixed in the release. Be careful as they have not been through the normal testing process. Revert ... [More] cease dependence on range Coroutine patch Updated Libraries Asio: Changed the async_initiate helper function to automatically deduce its return type, for C++11 or later. Changed all asynchronous operations to use automatically deduced return types, for C++14 or later. Introduced concepts to support async_initiate. Added the nested template type rebind_executor to all I/O object types. Changed the initiation function objects to report their associated I/O executor via the nested type executor_type and member function get_executor(). Added the default_completion_token trait, giving I/O executor types an associated default completion token type for use with asynchronous operations. This trait is specialised for the use_awaitable completion token, for example, to allow asynchronous operations to be used as follows: co_await socket.async_connect(my_endpoint). Added missing async_initiate to the Windows-specific I/O objects' asynchronous operations. Ensured that the executor type is propagated to newly accepted sockets. Changed to require that Protocol copy and move operations never throw. Changed to require that Endpoint default constructor and move operations never throw. Added the noexcept qualifier to protocol accessors. Added the noexcept qualifier to socket move constructors. Fixed issues associated with opening serial ports on Windows: Use the correct constant to initialise the RTS control flag. Specify a default baud rate (9600). Fixed a lost "outstanding work count" that can occur when an asynchronous accept operation is automatically restarted. Consult the Revision History for further details. Atomic: Added a workaround for __float128 not being considered as a floating point type by some versions of libstdc++. Improved compatibility with clang-win compiler. Beast: This is a maintenance update containing bug fixes, and updates to use the new features delivered in Boost.Asio. We'd love to know how you or your company use Beast, consider adding an entry to the Companies and Individuals Using Beast list. See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes.

Known Issues These are patches from library authors which were found too late to be fixed in the release. Be careful as they have not been through the normal testing process. Revert ... [More] cease dependence on range Coroutine patch Updated Libraries Asio: Changed the async_initiate helper function to automatically deduce its return type, for C++11 or later. Changed all asynchronous operations to use automatically deduced return types, for C++14 or later. Introduced concepts to support async_initiate. Added the nested template type rebind_executor to all I/O object types. Changed the initiation function objects to report their associated I/O executor via the nested type executor_type and member function get_executor(). Added the default_completion_token trait, giving I/O executor types an associated default completion token type for use with asynchronous operations. This trait is specialised for the use_awaitable completion token, for example, to allow asynchronous operations to be used as follows: co_await socket.async_connect(my_endpoint). Added missing async_initiate to the Windows-specific I/O objects' asynchronous operations. Ensured that the executor type is propagated to newly accepted sockets. Changed to require that Protocol copy and move operations never throw. Changed to require that Endpoint default constructor and move operations never throw. Added the noexcept qualifier to protocol accessors. Added the noexcept qualifier to socket move constructors. Fixed issues associated with opening serial ports on Windows: Use the correct constant to initialise the RTS control flag. Specify a default baud rate (9600). Fixed a lost "outstanding work count" that can occur when an asynchronous accept operation is automatically restarted. Consult the Revision History for further details. Atomic: Added a workaround for __float128 not being considered as a floating point type by some versions of libstdc++. Improved compatibility with clang-win compiler. Beast: This is a maintenance update containing bug fixes, and updates to use the new features delivered in Boost.Asio. We'd love to know how you or your company use Beast, consider adding an entry to the Companies and Individuals Using Beast list. See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes. Circular Buffer: Fix issue #29: max_size() now takes the allocator's max_size() into account. (Glen Fernandes) Context: architecture s390x supported execution_context removed Endian: Made endian_reverse, conditional_reverse and *_to_* constexpr on GCC and Clang Added convenience load and store functions Added floating point convenience typedefs Added a non-const overload of data(); changed its return type to unsigned char* Added __int128 support to endian_reverse when available Added a convenience header boost/endian.hpp Filesystem: Extracted filesystem_error to exception.hpp; file_status and associated enums and functions to file_status.hpp; directory_entry, directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator to directory.hpp. Deprecated: For backward compatibility operations.hpp still includes the new headers exception.hpp, file_status.hpp and directory.hpp, unless BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED macro is defined. These implicit includes are considered deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Users are encouraged to include the new headers directly or include filesystem.hpp. The filesystem_error exception is now implemented in the compiled library of Boost.Filesystem. Users may need to add linking with Boost.Filesystem library in their projects. On POSIX.1-2008 platforms, use utimensat instead of utime. utime is declared obsolete in POSIX.1-2008 and can be disabled e.g. in uClibc-ng. (PR#115) directory_iterator is now left in the end state on memory allocation errors. In directory_iterator on POSIX systems, support for readdir/readdir_r has been reworked to avoid memory allocations for dirent structures when readdir is used. This reduces memory consumption and eliminates the possibility of buffer overruns in case if readdir produces a very long directory name. On Windows, use Boost.WinAPI to select the target Windows version. New: Added directory_options enum, which reflects the same named enum from C++20. The enum is supported in directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator to customize iteration behavior. In particular, the iterators now support skipping directories that can't be opened due to insufficient permissions. The symlink_option enum is now deprecated and should be replaced with directory_options. By default, recursive_directory_iterator is now reset to the end state in case of errors, as required by C++20. (#112) New: Added directory_options::pop_on_error option, which configures recursive_directory_iterator so that it attempts to recover from iteration errors by repeatedly invoking pop() until it succeeds or the end state is reached. (#113) New: Added directory_options::skip_dangling_symlinks option, which configures recursive_directory_iterator so that it doesn't follow dangling directory symlinks and continues iteration instead of reporting an error. Deprecated: The following members of recursive_directory_iterator are now marked as deprecated: level(), no_push_pending(), no_push_request(), no_push(). Users are advised to replace their use with the standard counterparts: depth(), recursion_pending(), disable_recursion_pending(). Note that recursion_pending() has the opposite meaning compared to no_push_pending() and no_push_request(). Deprecated methods will be removed in a future release. Fixed path::lexically_relative (and any dependent algorithms) to correctly handle empty, dot and dot-dot path elements in its argument. The behavior is made closer to C++17 std::path::lexically_relative in that empty and dot path elements are ignored and dot-dot path elements are accounted by decreasing the number of dot-dot path elements to generate in the resulting relative path. (#76) Functional/Factory: Glen Fernandes rewrote the implementations of factory and value_factory to provide the following features: Support r-value arguments when possible Support arbitrary number of arguments via variadic templates when possible Support allocators that are final Support allocators that use fancy pointers Support for disabled exceptions (BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS) Improved compilation times The following features have been removed: Increasing limits for C++03 compilers through BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_VALUE_FACTORY_MAX_ARITY Using boost::none_t in place of void through BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_FACTORY_SUPPORT_NONE_T GIL: Added GSoC 2019: Lanczos resampling for image down scaling (PR #309). GSoC 2019: Methods for binary thresholding, inverted binary thresholding and truncation thresholding (PR #313). GSoC 2019: Otsu thresholding method (PR #314). GSoC 2019: Adaptive thresholding using mean or gaussian-weighted sum of the neighbourhood area (PR #315). GSoC 2019: Harris response calculation (corner detector without non-maximum filtering) (PR #350). GSoC 2019: Hessian corner detector (PR #364). GSoC 2019: Types for defining 2D kernel, kernel_2d and kernel_2d_fixed, in Numeric extension (PR #361). GSoC 2019: Implementation of 2D convolution as new function convolve_2d (PR #367). GSoC 2019: Box filtering using the average filter (PR #383). GSoC 2019: Blur function based on normalized mean filter (PR #383). GSoC 2019: Sobel and Scharr operators (PR #392). GSoC 2019: Median filter to remove noise from image (PR #393). Continued adding new test cases and significantly improved overall test coverage. Documented purpose of cached_location_t (PR #287). Function convolve_1d in Numeric extension for convenient use of convolve_rows and convolve_cols (PR #347) and PR #367). Function extend_boundary in Numeric extension to perform image boundary extension (PR #386). Project release notes maintained in Markdown file RELEASES.md (PR #404). Changed Move all tests, core features and extensions, inside test/ directory (PR #302). Removed Replace Boost.MPL with Boost.MP11 (PR #274). Removed use of Boost.TypeTraits (PR #274). Dropped support for GCC <= 4.8 (PR #296). Remove include/boost/gil/version.hpp file as unused (PR #403). Fixed Undetermined value of default-initialized channel and pixel objects (PR #273). Undefined behaviour due to std::is_trivially_default_constructible specializations (PR #284). Crash when reading PNG files with an invalid header (PR #385). Applied the Rule of Three for numerous types. Removed uses of deprecated implicit definition of defaulted copy assignment operator or copy constructor. Histogram: Several new features and performance improvements, some bug-fixes See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes Log: Improved compatibility with clang-win compiler. MPI: Documentation clarifications. Fixed scatterv bug when using explicit input buffer offsets. Enable usage of MPI_Probe and friend with Intel MPI >= 2019.4 Symbol visibility on Windows Math: Added Hypergeometric functions 1F0, 0F1, 2F0, 1F1 and pFq. Added Jacobi polynomial (and derivatives) evaluation. Added Gegenbauer polynomial (and derivatives) evaluation. Added Cardinal B-Splines (and derivatives) as polynomial functions in their own right. Added Cardinal Trigonometric Interpolation. Added new statistics sub-section. Added One Sample Student's T Test. Added Anderson Darling test for normality. Added Ljung Box test for auto-correlation. Added Runs test for random sequences. The headers boost/math/tools/univariate_statistics.hpp and boost/math/tools/bivariate_statistics.hpp, have been deprecated in favor of boost/math/statistics/univariate_statistics.hpp and boost/math/statistics/bivariate_statistics.hpp. Added The Empirical CDF distribution. Reworked the Sterling approximation used by multiprecision gamma functions to be applicable to all the function that use the Lanczos approximation at regular precision. Also extended Lanczos approximations up to 100 decimal digit precision. Multiprecision: Big constexpr update allows cpp_int and float128 arithmetic to be fully constexpr with gcc and clang 9 or later, or any compiler supporting std::is_constant_evaluated(). Fix bug in variable precision mpf_float which causes it to go into a tailspin trying to select the correct precision - see https://github.com/boostorg/multiprecision/issues/164. Outcome: Enhancements: Standalone outcome is now make install-able, and cmake find_package() can find it. Note that you must separately install and find_package() Outcome's dependency, quickcpplib, else find_package() of Outcome will fail. The git submodule mechanism used by standalone Outcome of specifying dependent libraries has been replaced with a cmake superbuild of dependencies mechanism instead. Upon cmake configure, an internal copy of quickcpplib will be git cloned, built and installed into the build directory from where an internal find_package() uses it. This breaks the use of the unconfigured Outcome repo as an implementation of Outcome, one must now do one of: 1. Add Outcome as subdirectory to cmake build. 2. Use cmake superbuild (i.e. ExternalProject_Add()) to build and install Outcome into a local installation. 3. Use one of the single header editions. For standalone Outcome, the current compiler is now checked for whether it will compile code containing C++ Concepts, and if it does, all cmake consumers of Outcome will enable C++ Concepts. Set the cmake variable CXX_CONCEPTS_FLAGS to an empty string to prevent auto detection and enabling of C++ Concepts support occurring. OUTCOME_TRY operation now hints to the compiler that operation will be successful. [P1886 Error speed benchmarking](https://wg21.link/P1886) showed that there is considerable gain in very small functions by hinting to the compiler whether the expression is expected to be successful or not. OUTCOME_TRY previously did not hint to the compiler at all, but now it does. A new suite of macros OUTCOME_TRY_FAILURE_LIKELY hint to the compiler that failure is expected. If you wish to return to the previously unhinted behaviour, define OUTCOME_TRY_LIKELY(expr) to (!!expr). #199 Support for C++ Coroutines has been added. This comes in two parts, firstly there is now an OUTCOME_CO_TRY() operation suitable for performing the TRY operation from within a C++ Coroutine. Secondly, in the header outcome/coroutine_support.hpp there are implementations of eager<OutcomeType> and lazy<OutcomeType> which let you more naturally and efficiently use basic_result or basic_outcome from within C++ Coroutines -- specifically, if the result or outcome will construct from an exception pointer, exceptions thrown in the coroutine return an errored or excepted result with the thrown exception instead of throwing the exception through the coroutine machinery (which in current compilers, has a high likelihood of blowing up the program). Both eager<T> and lazy<T> can accept any T as well. Both have been tested and found working on VS2019 and clang 9. #210 make_error_code() and make_exception_ptr() are now additionally considered for compatible copy and move conversions for basic_result<>. This lets you construct a basic_result<T, E> into a basic_result<T, error_code>, where E is a custom type which has implemented the ADL discovered free function error_code make_error_code(E), but is otherwise unrelated to error_code. The same availability applies for exception_ptr with make_exception_ptr() being the ADL discovered free function. basic_outcome<> has less support for this than basic_result<> in order to keep constructor count down, but it will accept via this mechanism conversions from basic_result<> and failure_type<>. Bug fixes: #184 The detection of [[nodiscard]] support in the compiler was very mildly broken. PolyCollection: Maintenance work. Preprocessor: Topic added which discusses emptiness Support for the C++20 __VA_OPT__ construct BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_HAS_OPT whether __VA_OPT__ is supported at the C++20 level BOOST_PP_CHECK_EMPTY test for emptiness using __VA_OPT__ at the C++20 level BOOST_PP_VA_OPT more flexible alternative to __VA_OPT__ at the C++20 level Smart Pointers: Implemented allocate_unique for scalars and arrays.

By default, recursive_directory_iterator is now reset to the end state in case of errors, as required by C++20. (#112) New: Added directory_options::pop_on_error option, which configures recursive_directory_iterator so that it attempts to recover from iteration errors by repeatedly invoking pop() until it succeeds or the end state is reached. (#113) New: Added directory_options::skip_dangling_symlinks option, which configures recursive_directory_iterator so that it doesn't follow dangling directory symlinks and continues iteration instead of reporting an error. Deprecated: The following members of recursive_directory_iterator are now marked as deprecated: level(), no_push_pending(), no_push_request(), no_push(). Users are advised to replace their use with the standard counterparts: depth(), recursion_pending(), disable_recursion_pending(). Note that recursion_pending() has the opposite meaning compared to no_push_pending() and no_push_request(). Deprecated methods will be removed in a future release. Fixed path::lexically_relative (and any dependent algorithms) to correctly handle empty, dot and dot-dot path elements in its argument. The behavior is made closer to C++17 std::path::lexically_relative in that empty and dot path elements are ignored and dot-dot path elements are accounted by decreasing the number of dot-dot path elements to generate in the resulting relative path. (#76) Functional/Factory: Glen Fernandes rewrote the implementations of factory and value_factory to provide the following features: Support r-value arguments when possible Support arbitrary number of arguments via variadic templates when possible Support allocators that are final Support allocators that use fancy pointers Support for disabled exceptions (BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS) Improved compilation times The following features have been removed: Increasing limits for C++03 compilers through BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_VALUE_FACTORY_MAX_ARITY Using boost::none_t in place of void through BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_FACTORY_SUPPORT_NONE_T GIL: Added GSoC 2019: Lanczos resampling for image down scaling (PR #309). GSoC 2019: Methods for binary thresholding, inverted binary thresholding and truncation thresholding (PR #313). GSoC 2019: Otsu thresholding method (PR #314). GSoC 2019: Adaptive thresholding using mean or gaussian-weighted sum of the neighbourhood area (PR #315). GSoC 2019: Harris response calculation (corner detector without non-maximum filtering) (PR #350). GSoC 2019: Hessian corner detector (PR #364). GSoC 2019: Types for defining 2D kernel, kernel_2d and kernel_2d_fixed, in Numeric extension (PR #361). GSoC 2019: Implementation of 2D convolution as new function convolve_2d (PR #367). GSoC 2019: Box filtering using the average filter (PR #383). GSoC 2019: Blur function based on normalized mean filter (PR #383). GSoC 2019: Sobel and Scharr operators (PR #392). GSoC 2019: Median filter to remove noise from image (PR #393). Continued adding new test cases and significantly improved overall test coverage. Documented purpose of cached_location_t (PR #287). Function convolve_1d in Numeric extension for convenient use of convolve_rows and convolve_cols (PR #347) and PR #367). Function extend_boundary in Numeric extension to perform image boundary extension (PR #386). Project release notes maintained in Markdown file RELEASES.md (PR #404). Changed Move all tests, core features and extensions, inside test/ directory (PR #302). Removed Replace Boost.MPL with Boost.MP11 (PR #274). Removed use of Boost.TypeTraits (PR #274). Dropped support for GCC <= 4.8 (PR #296). Remove include/boost/gil/version.hpp file as unused (PR #403). Fixed Undetermined value of default-initialized channel and pixel objects (PR #273). Undefined behaviour due to std::is_trivially_default_constructible specializations (PR #284). Crash when reading PNG files with an invalid header (PR #385). Applied the Rule of Three for numerous types. Removed uses of deprecated implicit definition of defaulted copy assignment operator or copy constructor. Histogram: Several new features and performance improvements, some bug-fixes See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes Log: Improved compatibility with clang-win compiler. MPI: Documentation clarifications. Fixed scatterv bug when using explicit input buffer offsets. Enable usage of MPI_Probe and friend with Intel MPI >= 2019.4 Symbol visibility on Windows Math: Added Hypergeometric functions 1F0, 0F1, 2F0, 1F1 and pFq. Added Jacobi polynomial (and derivatives) evaluation. Added Gegenbauer polynomial (and derivatives) evaluation. Added Cardinal B-Splines (and derivatives) as polynomial functions in their own right. Added Cardinal Trigonometric Interpolation. Added new statistics sub-section. Added One Sample Student's T Test. Added Anderson Darling test for normality. Added Ljung Box test for auto-correlation. Added Runs test for random sequences. The headers boost/math/tools/univariate_statistics.hpp and boost/math/tools/bivariate_statistics.hpp, have been deprecated in favor of boost/math/statistics/univariate_statistics.hpp and boost/math/statistics/bivariate_statistics.hpp. Added The Empirical CDF distribution. Reworked the Sterling approximation used by multiprecision gamma functions to be applicable to all the function that use the Lanczos approximation at regular precision. Also extended Lanczos approximations up to 100 decimal digit precision. Multiprecision: Big constexpr update allows cpp_int and float128 arithmetic to be fully constexpr with gcc and clang 9 or later, or any compiler supporting std::is_constant_evaluated(). Fix bug in variable precision mpf_float which causes it to go into a tailspin trying to select the correct precision - see https://github.com/boostorg/multiprecision/issues/164. Outcome: Enhancements: Standalone outcome is now make install-able, and cmake find_package() can find it. Note that you must separately install and find_package() Outcome's dependency, quickcpplib, else find_package() of Outcome will fail. The git submodule mechanism used by standalone Outcome of specifying dependent libraries has been replaced with a cmake superbuild of dependencies mechanism instead. Upon cmake configure, an internal copy of quickcpplib will be git cloned, built and installed into the build directory from where an internal find_package() uses it. This breaks the use of the unconfigured Outcome repo as an implementation of Outcome, one must now do one of: 1. Add Outcome as subdirectory to cmake build. 2. Use cmake superbuild (i.e. ExternalProject_Add()) to build and install Outcome into a local installation. 3. Use one of the single header editions. For standalone Outcome, the current compiler is now checked for whether it will compile code containing C++ Concepts, and if it does, all cmake consumers of Outcome will enable C++ Concepts. Set the cmake variable CXX_CONCEPTS_FLAGS to an empty string to prevent auto detection and enabling of C++ Concepts support occurring. OUTCOME_TRY operation now hints to the compiler that operation will be successful. [P1886 Error speed benchmarking](https://wg21.link/P1886) showed that there is considerable gain in very small functions by hinting to the compiler whether the expression is expected to be successful or not. OUTCOME_TRY previously did not hint to the compiler at all, but now it does. A new suite of macros OUTCOME_TRY_FAILURE_LIKELY hint to the compiler that failure is expected. If you wish to return to the previously unhinted behaviour, define OUTCOME_TRY_LIKELY(expr) to (!!expr). #199 Support for C++ Coroutines has been added. This comes in two parts, firstly there is now an OUTCOME_CO_TRY() operation suitable for performing the TRY operation from within a C++ Coroutine. Secondly, in the header outcome/coroutine_support.hpp there are implementations of eager<OutcomeType> and lazy<OutcomeType> which let you more naturally and efficiently use basic_result or basic_outcome from within C++ Coroutines -- specifically, if the result or outcome will construct from an exception pointer, exceptions thrown in the coroutine return an errored or excepted result with the thrown exception instead of throwing the exception through the coroutine machinery (which in current compilers, has a high likelihood of blowing up the program). Both eager<T> and lazy<T> can accept any T as well. Both have been tested and found working on VS2019 and clang 9. #210 make_error_code() and make_exception_ptr() are now additionally considered for compatible copy and move conversions for basic_result<>. This lets you construct a basic_result<T, E> into a basic_result<T, error_code>, where E is a custom type which has implemented the ADL discovered free function error_code make_error_code(E), but is otherwise unrelated to error_code. The same availability applies for exception_ptr with make_exception_ptr() being the ADL discovered free function. basic_outcome<> has less support for this than basic_result<> in order to keep constructor count down, but it will accept via this mechanism conversions from basic_result<> and failure_type<>. Bug fixes: #184 The detection of [[nodiscard]] support in the compiler was very mildly broken. PolyCollection: Maintenance work. Preprocessor: Topic added which discusses emptiness Support for the C++20 __VA_OPT__ construct BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_HAS_OPT whether __VA_OPT__ is supported at the C++20 level BOOST_PP_CHECK_EMPTY test for emptiness using __VA_OPT__ at the C++20 level BOOST_PP_VA_OPT more flexible alternative to __VA_OPT__ at the C++20 level Smart Pointers: Implemented allocate_unique for scalars and arrays. (Glen Fernandes) Test: Boost.test v3.12 see the Changes log for more details. New feature: Support for C++17 std::string_view has been added.

Known Issues These are patches from library authors which were found too late to be fixed in the release. Be careful as they have not been through the normal testing process. Revert ... [More] cease dependence on range Coroutine patch Updated Libraries Asio: Changed the async_initiate helper function to automatically deduce its return type, for C++11 or later. Changed all asynchronous operations to use automatically deduced return types, for C++14 or later. Introduced concepts to support async_initiate. Added the nested template type rebind_executor to all I/O object types. Changed the initiation function objects to report their associated I/O executor via the nested type executor_type and member function get_executor(). Added the default_completion_token trait, giving I/O executor types an associated default completion token type for use with asynchronous operations. This trait is specialised for the use_awaitable completion token, for example, to allow asynchronous operations to be used as follows: co_await socket.async_connect(my_endpoint). Added missing async_initiate to the Windows-specific I/O objects' asynchronous operations. Ensured that the executor type is propagated to newly accepted sockets. Changed to require that Protocol copy and move operations never throw. Changed to require that Endpoint default constructor and move operations never throw. Added the noexcept qualifier to protocol accessors. Added the noexcept qualifier to socket move constructors. Fixed issues associated with opening serial ports on Windows: Use the correct constant to initialise the RTS control flag. Specify a default baud rate (9600). Fixed a lost "outstanding work count" that can occur when an asynchronous accept operation is automatically restarted. Consult the Revision History for further details. Atomic: Added a workaround for __float128 not being considered as a floating point type by some versions of libstdc++. Improved compatibility with clang-win compiler. Beast: This is a maintenance update containing bug fixes, and updates to use the new features delivered in Boost.Asio. We'd love to know how you or your company use Beast, consider adding an entry to the Companies and Individuals Using Beast list. See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes. Circular Buffer: Fix issue #29: max_size() now takes the allocator's max_size() into account. (Glen Fernandes) Context: architecture s390x supported execution_context removed Endian: Made endian_reverse, conditional_reverse and *_to_* constexpr on GCC and Clang Added convenience load and store functions Added floating point convenience typedefs Added a non-const overload of data(); changed its return type to unsigned char* Added __int128 support to endian_reverse when available Added a convenience header boost/endian.hpp Filesystem: Extracted filesystem_error to exception.hpp; file_status and associated enums and functions to file_status.hpp; directory_entry, directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator to directory.hpp. Deprecated: For backward compatibility operations.hpp still includes the new headers exception.hpp, file_status.hpp and directory.hpp, unless BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED macro is defined. These implicit includes are considered deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Users are encouraged to include the new headers directly or include filesystem.hpp. The filesystem_error exception is now implemented in the compiled library of Boost.Filesystem. Users may need to add linking with Boost.Filesystem library in their projects. On POSIX.1-2008 platforms, use utimensat instead of utime. utime is declared obsolete in POSIX.1-2008 and can be disabled e.g. in uClibc-ng. (PR#115) directory_iterator is now left in the end state on memory allocation errors. In directory_iterator on POSIX systems, support for readdir/readdir_r has been reworked to avoid memory allocations for dirent structures when readdir is used. This reduces memory consumption and eliminates the possibility of buffer overruns in case if readdir produces a very long directory name. On Windows, use Boost.WinAPI to select the target Windows version. New: Added directory_options enum, which reflects the same named enum from C++20. The enum is supported in directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator to customize iteration behavior. In particular, the iterators now support skipping directories that can't be opened due to insufficient permissions. The symlink_option enum is now deprecated and should be replaced with directory_options. By default, recursive_directory_iterator is now reset to the end state in case of errors, as required by C++20. (#112) New: Added directory_options::pop_on_error option, which configures recursive_directory_iterator so that it attempts to recover from iteration errors by repeatedly invoking pop() until it succeeds or the end state is reached. (#113) New: Added directory_options::skip_dangling_symlinks option, which configures recursive_directory_iterator so that it doesn't follow dangling directory symlinks and continues iteration instead of reporting an error. Deprecated: The following members of recursive_directory_iterator are now marked as deprecated: level(), no_push_pending(), no_push_request(), no_push(). Users are advised to replace their use with the standard counterparts: depth(), recursion_pending(), disable_recursion_pending(). Note that recursion_pending() has the opposite meaning compared to no_push_pending() and no_push_request(). Deprecated methods will be removed in a future release. Fixed path::lexically_relative (and any dependent algorithms) to correctly handle empty, dot and dot-dot path elements in its argument.

Known Issues These are patches from library authors which were found too late to be fixed in the release. Be careful as they have not been through the normal testing process. Revert ... [More] cease dependence on range Coroutine patch Updated Libraries Asio: Changed the async_initiate helper function to automatically deduce its return type, for C++11 or later. Changed all asynchronous operations to use automatically deduced return types, for C++14 or later. Introduced concepts to support async_initiate. Added the nested template type rebind_executor to all I/O object types. Changed the initiation function objects to report their associated I/O executor via the nested type executor_type and member function get_executor(). Added the default_completion_token trait, giving I/O executor types an associated default completion token type for use with asynchronous operations. This trait is specialised for the use_awaitable completion token, for example, to allow asynchronous operations to be used as follows: co_await socket.async_connect(my_endpoint). Added missing async_initiate to the Windows-specific I/O objects' asynchronous operations. Ensured that the executor type is propagated to newly accepted sockets. Changed to require that Protocol copy and move operations never throw. Changed to require that Endpoint default constructor and move operations never throw. Added the noexcept qualifier to protocol accessors. Added the noexcept qualifier to socket move constructors. Fixed issues associated with opening serial ports on Windows: Use the correct constant to initialise the RTS control flag. Specify a default baud rate (9600). Fixed a lost "outstanding work count" that can occur when an asynchronous accept operation is automatically restarted. Consult the Revision History for further details. Atomic: Added a workaround for __float128 not being considered as a floating point type by some versions of libstdc++. Improved compatibility with clang-win compiler. Beast: This is a maintenance update containing bug fixes, and updates to use the new features delivered in Boost.Asio. We'd love to know how you or your company use Beast, consider adding an entry to the Companies and Individuals Using Beast list. See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes. Circular Buffer: Fix issue #29: max_size() now takes the allocator's max_size() into account. (Glen Fernandes) Context: architecture s390x supported execution_context removed Endian: Made endian_reverse, conditional_reverse and *_to_* constexpr on GCC and Clang Added convenience load and store functions Added floating point convenience typedefs Added a non-const overload of data(); changed its return type to unsigned char* Added __int128 support to endian_reverse when available Added a convenience header boost/endian.hpp Filesystem: Extracted filesystem_error to exception.hpp; file_status and associated enums and functions to file_status.hpp; directory_entry, directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator to directory.hpp. Deprecated: For backward compatibility operations.hpp still includes the new headers exception.hpp, file_status.hpp and directory.hpp, unless BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED macro is defined. These implicit includes are considered deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Users are encouraged to include the new headers directly or include filesystem.hpp. The filesystem_error exception is now implemented in the compiled library of Boost.Filesystem. Users may need to add linking with Boost.Filesystem library in their projects. On POSIX.1-2008 platforms, use utimensat instead of utime. utime is declared obsolete in POSIX.1-2008 and can be disabled e.g. in uClibc-ng. (PR#115) directory_iterator is now left in the end state on memory allocation errors. In directory_iterator on POSIX systems, support for readdir/readdir_r has been reworked to avoid memory allocations for dirent structures when readdir is used. This reduces memory consumption and eliminates the possibility of buffer overruns in case if readdir produces a very long directory name. On Windows, use Boost.WinAPI to select the target Windows version. New: Added directory_options enum, which reflects the same named enum from C++20. The enum is supported in directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator to customize iteration behavior. In particular, the iterators now support skipping directories that can't be opened due to insufficient permissions. The symlink_option enum is now deprecated and should be replaced with directory_options. By default, recursive_directory_iterator is now reset to the end state in case of errors, as required by C++20. (#112) New: Added directory_options::pop_on_error option, which configures recursive_directory_iterator so that it attempts to recover from iteration errors by repeatedly invoking pop() until it succeeds or the end state is reached. (#113) New: Added directory_options::skip_dangling_symlinks option, which configures recursive_directory_iterator so that it doesn't follow dangling directory symlinks and continues iteration instead of reporting an error. Deprecated: The following members of recursive_directory_iterator are now marked as deprecated: level(), no_push_pending(), no_push_request(), no_push(). Users are advised to replace their use with the standard counterparts: depth(), recursion_pending(), disable_recursion_pending(). Note that recursion_pending() has the opposite meaning compared to no_push_pending() and no_push_request(). Deprecated methods will be removed in a future release. Fixed path::lexically_relative (and any dependent algorithms) to correctly handle empty, dot and dot-dot path elements in its argument. The behavior is made closer to C++17 std::path::lexically_relative in that empty and dot path elements are ignored and dot-dot path elements are accounted by decreasing the number of dot-dot path elements to generate in the resulting relative path. (#76) Functional/Factory: Glen Fernandes rewrote the implementations of factory and value_factory to provide the following features: Support r-value arguments when possible Support arbitrary number of arguments via variadic templates when possible Support allocators that are final Support allocators that use fancy pointers Support for disabled exceptions (BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS) Improved compilation times The following features have been removed: Increasing limits for C++03 compilers through BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_VALUE_FACTORY_MAX_ARITY Using boost::none_t in place of void through BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_FACTORY_SUPPORT_NONE_T GIL: Added GSoC 2019: Lanczos resampling for image down scaling (PR#309). GSoC 2019: Methods for binary thresholding, inverted binary thresholding and truncation thresholding (PR#313). GSoC 2019: Otsu thresholding method (PR#314). GSoC 2019: Adaptive thresholding using mean or gaussian-weighted sum of the neighbourhood area (PR#315). GSoC 2019: Harris response calculation (corner detector without non-maximum filtering) (PR#350). GSoC 2019: Hessian corner detector (PR#364). GSoC 2019: Types for defining 2D kernel, kernel_2d and kernel_2d_fixed, in Numeric extension (PR#361). GSoC 2019: Implementation of 2D convolution as new function convolve_2d (PR#367). GSoC 2019: Box filtering using the average filter (PR#383). GSoC 2019: Blur function based on normalized mean filter (PR#383). GSoC 2019: Sobel and Scharr operators (PR#392). GSoC 2019: Median filter to remove noise from image (PR#393). Continued adding new test cases and significantly improved overall test coverage. Documented purpose of cached_location_t (PR#287). Function convolve_1d in Numeric extension for convenient use of convolve_rows and convolve_cols (PR#347) and PR#367). Function extend_boundary in Numeric extension to perform image boundary extension (PR#386). Project release notes maintained in Markdown file RELEASES.md (PR#404). Changed Move all tests, core features and extensions, inside test/ directory (PR#302). Removed Replace Boost.MPL with Boost.MP11 (PR#274). Removed use of Boost.TypeTraits (PR#274). Dropped support for GCC <= 4.8 (PR#296). Remove include/boost/gil/version.hpp file as unused (PR#403). Fixed Undetermined value of default-initialized channel and pixel objects (PR#273). Undefined behaviour due to std::is_trivially_default_constructible specializations (PR#284). Crash when reading PNG files with an invalid header (PR#385). Applied the Rule of Three for numerous types. Removed uses of deprecated implicit definition of defaulted copy assignment operator or copy constructor. Histogram: Several new features and performance improvements, some bug-fixes See the full Release Notes for a complete list of changes Log: Improved compatibility with clang-win compiler. MPI: Documentation clarifications. Fixed scatterv bug when using explicit input buffer offsets. Enable usage of MPI_Probe and friend with Intel MPI >= 2019.4 Symbol visibility on Windows Math: Added Hypergeometric functions 1F0, 0F1, 2F0, 1F1 and pFq. Added Jacobi polynomial (and derivatives) evaluation. Added Gegenbauer polynomial (and derivatives) evaluation. Added Cardinal B-Splines (and derivatives) as polynomial functions in their own right. Added Cardinal Trigonometric Interpolation. Added new statistics sub-section. Added One Sample Student's T Test. Added Anderson Darling test for normality. Added Ljung Box test for auto-correlation. Added Runs test for random sequences. The headers boost/math/tools/univariate_statistics.hpp and boost/math/tools/bivariate_statistics.hpp, have been deprecated in favor of boost/math/statistics/univariate_statistics.hpp and boost/math/statistics/bivariate_statistics.hpp. Added The Empirical CDF distribution. Reworked the Sterling approximation used by multiprecision gamma functions to be applicable to all the function that use the Lanczos approximation at regular precision. Also extended Lanczos approximations up to 100 decimal digit precision. Multiprecision: Big constexpr update allows cpp_int and float128 arithmetic to be fully constexpr with gcc and clang 9 or later, or any compiler supporting std::is_constant_evaluated(). Fix bug in variable precision mpf_float which causes it to go into a tailspin trying to select the correct precision - see https://github.com/boostorg/multiprecision/issues/164. Outcome: Enhancements: Standalone outcome is now make install-able, and cmake find_package() can find it. Note that you must separately install and find_package() Outcome's dependency, quickcpplib, else find_package() of Outcome will fail. The git submodule mechanism used by standalone Outcome of specifying dependent libraries has been replaced with a cmake superbuild of dependencies mechanism instead. Upon cmake configure, an internal copy of quickcpplib will be git cloned, built and installed into the build directory from where an internal find_package() uses it. This breaks the use of the unconfigured Outcome repo as an implementation of Outcome, one must now do one of: 1. Add Outcome as subdirectory to cmake build. 2. Use cmake superbuild (i.e. ExternalProject_Add()) to build and install Outcome into a local installation. 3. Use one of the single header editions. For standalone Outcome, the current compiler is now checked for whether it will compile code containing C++ Concepts, and if it does, all cmake consumers of Outcome will enable C++ Concepts. Set the cmake variable CXX_CONCEPTS_FLAGS to an empty string to prevent auto detection and enabling of C++ Concepts support occurring. OUTCOME_TRY operation now hints to the compiler that operation will be successful. P1886 Error speed benchmarking showed that there is considerable gain in very small functions by hinting to the compiler whether the expression is expected to be successful or not. OUTCOME_TRY previously did not hint to the compiler at all, but now it does. A new suite of macros OUTCOME_TRY_FAILURE_LIKELY hint to the compiler that failure is expected. If you wish to return to the previously unhinted behaviour, define OUTCOME_TRY_LIKELY(expr) to (!!expr). #199 Support for C++ Coroutines has been added. This comes in two parts, firstly there is now an OUTCOME_CO_TRY() operation suitable for performing the TRY operation from within a C++ Coroutine. Secondly, in the header outcome/coroutine_support.hpp there are implementations of eager<OutcomeType> and lazy<OutcomeType> which let you more naturally and efficiently use basic_result or basic_outcome from within C++ Coroutines -- specifically, if the result or outcome will construct from an exception pointer, exceptions thrown in the coroutine return an errored or excepted result with the thrown exception instead of throwing the exception through the coroutine machinery (which in current compilers, has a high likelihood of blowing up the program). Both eager<T> and lazy<T> can accept any T as well. Both have been tested and found working on VS2019 and clang 9. #210 make_error_code() and make_exception_ptr() are now additionally considered for compatible copy and move conversions for basic_result<>. This lets you construct a basic_result<T, E> into a basic_result<T, error_code>, where E is a custom type which has implemented the ADL discovered free function error_code make_error_code(E), but is otherwise unrelated to error_code. The same availability applies for exception_ptr with make_exception_ptr() being the ADL discovered free function. basic_outcome<> has less support for this than basic_result<> in order to keep constructor count down, but it will accept via this mechanism conversions from basic_result<> and failure_type<>. Bug fixes: #184 The detection of [[nodiscard]] support in the compiler was very mildly broken. PolyCollection: Maintenance work. Preprocessor: Topic added which discusses emptiness Support for the C++20 __VA_OPT__ construct BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_HAS_OPT whether __VA_OPT__ is supported at the C++20 level BOOST_PP_CHECK_EMPTY test for emptiness using __VA_OPT__ at the C++20 level BOOST_PP_VA_OPT more flexible alternative to __VA_OPT__ at the C++20 level Smart Pointers: Implemented allocate_unique for scalars and arrays.
