The Boost build system now supports visibilities. If you are building shared
libraries, they will use hidden visibility by default. As a result Boost shared
libraries become smaller
... [More]
, load faster and have less chances to get a symbol
collision.
See Boost.Build
visibility and local-visibility for more info.
To disable that feature you can use use a command line ./b2 visibility=global to
build.
New Libraries
Safe Numerics: A library
for guaranteed correct integer arithmetic for C++14 and later, from Robert
Ramey.
Updated Libraries

variables constructed in one shared library with hidden visibility
could be used and destroyed in other shared library with hidden visibility.
Maintenance: dropped some dependencies on other Boost libraries,
fixes for docs.
Asio:
Fixed a problem with the detection of std::future
availability with libstdc++.
Fixed compile error in regex overload of read_until.

Added SSL context options for TLS v1.3.
Added a compile-time test for TLS v1 support.
Fixed the macro used to test for TLS v1.2 support.
Prevented global objects from being created once per thread on Windows.
Fixed a crash when using size(), max_size() or empty() on default-constructed resolver
results.
Changed to move the return value in basic_resolver_results::begin() to avoid copying.
Enabled move support for the Intel Compiler.
Fixed std::string_view detection issue when
using clang-cl.
Fixed the handler tracking operation name for io_context::executor_type::dispatch.

Stacktrace:
libbacktrace usage
was significantly improved. BOOST_STACKTRACE_USE_BACKTRACE
or boost_stacktrace_backtrace
users are encouraged to update:
Memory consumprion dropped down.
Stack capturing became faster by an order of magnitude.
syminfo fallback
enabled to provide information for visible symbols even without
debug information (thanks to github user driesdeschout!)#60,
#61.
Exact location of the backtrace.h
header now can be specified via BOOST_STACKTRACE_BACKTRACE_INCLUDE_FILE,
to allow backtrace.h
header usage on platforms and compilers where that header is
unreachable otherwise (for example Ubuntu Xenial + Clang) #59.
Optimized stack capturing if max_depth
is set (thanks to Jan Eisenhauer for the PR!) #67.
Added to_string(const stacktrace& )
functions for fast conversion of stacktraces to std::string
#57.
Maintenance: updated docs #62, tests updated.
System:
Boost.System is now header-only. A stub library is still built for
compatibility, but linking to it is no longer necessary.
Even more functions have been marked constexpr.
The destructor of error_category
is now protected and
no longer virtual. This
is a potentially breaking change, but its impact is expected to be
limited.
error_category now
has a constructor that accepts a 64 bit identifier, enabling distinct
category objects to compare equal.
The constructors of error_category
are now protected.
A non-allocating, nonthrowing overload of message
has been added.
A virtual function failed
has been added, allowing categories for which success is not synonymous
with 0.
The deprecated boost::system::throws
object has been removed.
boost::throws()
is now deprecated and its use is discouraged.
The constructor of system_error
taking a single error_code
argument is now explicit.
system_error::code()
now returns by value.
Test:
Boost.test v3.9 see the Changes
log for more details.
New feature:
Official support of header-only variant of Boost.Test with
multiple translation units.
Now possible to manually add a test case by specifying its
name, with BOOST_TEST_CASE_NAME
Better support of boost::exception
in the logs

TypeIndex:
Fix the regression and speed up parsing of the boost/type_traits.hpp
header by 30% (thanks to Nikita Kniazev for the PR!) #21.
Utility:
Added support for non-inheritable empty types to boost::compressed_pair
by avoiding the empty base optimization for types which are declared
as final (Glen Fernandes).
Variant:
Fixed issue with visibility. Now boost::bad_visit
exception could cross the boundaries of shared library with hidden
visibility and could be catched in other shared library with hidden
visibility.
YAP:
Minor changes to support MSVC++ version 14.15 (Visual Studio 2017
version 15.8).
Doc fixes.
Discontinued Libraries
Signals (v1) is now removed. Its removal was announced in 1.68 and its
deprecation was announced in 1.54. Boost 1.68 is the last release that
provides this library. Users are encouraged to use Signals2 instead. The
Boost community thanks Douglas Gregor for his work on Signals which served
its users well and which also inspired Signals2.

which is currently enabled by using the /experimental:preprocessor
switch, in Visual Studio 2017 15.8 on up.
Rational:
Add constexpr support (PR#28) (PR#32)

Stacktrace:
libbacktrace usage
was significantly improved. BOOST_STACKTRACE_USE_BACKTRACE
or boost_stacktrace_backtrace
users are encouraged to update:
Memory consumprion dropped down.
Stack capturing became faster by an order of magnitude.
syminfo fallback
enabled to provide information for visible symbols even without
debug information (thanks to github user driesdeschout!)#60,
#61.
Exact location of the backtrace.h
header now can be specified via BOOST_STACKTRACE_BACKTRACE_INCLUDE_FILE,
to allow backtrace.h
header usage on platforms and compilers where that header is
unreachable otherwise (for example Ubuntu Xenial + Clang) #59.
Optimized stack capturing if max_depth
is set (thanks to Jan Eisenhauer for the PR!) #67.
Added to_string(const stacktrace& )
functions for fast conversion of stacktraces to std::string
#57.
Maintenance: updated docs #62, tests updated.
System:
Boost.System is now header-only. A stub library is still built for
compatibility, but linking to it is no longer necessary.
Even more functions have been marked constexpr.
The destructor of error_category
is now protected and
no longer virtual. This
is a potentially breaking change, but its impact is expected to be
limited.
error_category now
has a constructor that accepts a 64 bit identifier, enabling distinct
category objects to compare equal.
The constructors of error_category
are now protected.
A non-allocating, nonthrowing overload of message
has been added.
A virtual function failed
has been added, allowing categories for which success is not synonymous
with 0.
The deprecated boost::system::throws
object has been removed.
boost::throws()
is now deprecated and its use is discouraged.
The constructor of system_error
taking a single error_code
argument is now explicit.
system_error::code()
now returns by value.
Test:
Boost.test v3.9 see the Changes
log for more details.
New feature:
Official support of header-only variant of Boost.Test with
multiple translation units.
Now possible to manually add a test case by specifying its
name, with BOOST_TEST_CASE_NAME
Better support of boost::exception
in the logs

TypeIndex:
Fix the regression and speed up parsing of the boost/type_traits.hpp
header by 30% (thanks to Nikita Kniazev for the PR!) #21.
Utility:
Added support for non-inheritable empty types to boost::compressed_pair
by avoiding the empty base optimization for types which are declared
as final (Glen Fernandes).
Variant:
Fixed issue with visibility. Now boost::bad_visit
exception could cross the boundaries of shared library with hidden
visibility and could be catched in other shared library with hidden
visibility.
YAP:
Minor changes to support MSVC++ version 14.15 (Visual Studio 2017
version 15.8).

Discontinued Libraries
Signals (v1) is now removed. Its removal was announced in 1.68 and its
deprecation was announced in 1.54. Boost 1.68 is the last release that
provides this library. Users are encouraged to use Signals2 instead. The
Boost community thanks Douglas Gregor for his work on Signals which served
its users well and which also inspired Signals2.

Notes for non-Windows
users
Boost build system now supports visibilities and builds shared libraries with
hidden visibility by default. As a result Boost shared libraries become smaller,
load faster and have less
... [More]
chances to get a symbol collision.
See Boost.Build
visibility and local-visibility for more info.
To disable that feature use ./b2 visibility=global like
command during build.

Fix typo in Student's T hypothesis testing documentation, see #143.
Mp11:
Implemented the mp_starts_with
facility (Glen Fernandes).
MultiArray:
Improve C++11 allocator model support including: Support for C++11
minimal allocators, support for stateful allocators, using the allocator
for construction and destruction of the value type, and using the
empty base optimization for storing empty or stateless allocators
(Glen Fernandes).
Multi-index Containers:
Introduced an alternative terse
key specification syntax for C++17 compliant environments.
Multiprecision:
Big update to better support variable precision types so that the
precision of the result is always the largest of all the arguments.
Add support for allocators that are final
in __cpp_int (Glen Fernandes).
Removed use of deprecated Boost.Endian in favour of Predef.
Add support for std::string_view.
Fixed minor bug in constant initialization. See #67.
Make assignment of non-finite value to cpp_int
a runtime errors. See #58.
Added typedefs for cpp_bin_float_oct
and cpp_complex_oct.
PolyCollection:
Added Bost.PolyCollection-specific versions of algorithms std::for_each_n and std::sample.
Pool:
Replace boost::mutex use to avoid a dependency on Boost.Thread (PR#23)
Preprocessor:
Supports the new C++ standard conforming preprocessor in VC++ 14.1,
which is currently enabled by using the /experimental:preprocessor
switch, in Visual Studio 2017 15.8 on up.
Rational:
Add constexpr support (PR#28) (PR#32)
Spirit:
Spirit.X3:
Drop own FP routines in favor of boost::math

Stacktrace:
libbacktrace usage
was significantly improved. BOOST_STACKTRACE_USE_BACKTRACE
or boost_stacktrace_backtrace
users are encouraged to update:
Memory consumprion dropped down.
Stack capturing became faster by an order of magnitude.
syminfo fallback
enabled to provide information for visible symbols even without
debug information (thanks to github user driesdeschout!)#60,
#61.
Exact location of the backtrace.h
header now can be specified via BOOST_STACKTRACE_BACKTRACE_INCLUDE_FILE,
to allow backtrace.h
header usage on platforms and compilers where that header is
unreachable otherwise (for example Ubuntu Xenial + Clang) #59.
Optimized stack capturing if max_depth
is set (thanks to Jan Eisenhauer for the PR!) #67.
Added to_string(const stacktrace& )
functions for fast conversion of stacktraces to std::string
#57.
Maintenance: updated docs #62, tests updated.
System:
Boost.System is now header-only. A stub library is still built for
compatibility, but linking to it is no longer necessary.
Even more functions have been marked constexpr.
The destructor of error_category
is now protected and
no longer virtual. This
is a potentially breaking change, but its impact is expected to be
limited.
error_category now
has a constructor that accepts a 64 bit identifier, enabling distinct
category objects to compare equal.
The constructors of error_category
are now protected.
A non-allocating, nonthrowing overload of message
has been added.
A virtual function failed
has been added, allowing categories for which success is not synonymous
with 0.
The deprecated boost::system::throws
object has been removed.
boost::throws()
is now deprecated and its use is discouraged.
The constructor of system_error
taking a single error_code
argument is now explicit.
system_error::code()
now returns by value.
Test:
Boost.test v3.9 see the Changes
log for more details.
New feature:
Official support of header-only variant of Boost.Test with
multiple translation units.
Now possible to manually add a test case by specifying its
name, with BOOST_TEST_CASE_NAME
Better support of boost::exception
in the logs

TypeIndex:
Fix the regression and speed up parsing of the boost/type_traits.hpp
header by 30% (thanks to Nikita Kniazev for the PR!) #21.
Utility:
Added support for non-inheritable empty types to boost::compressed_pair
by avoiding the empty base optimization for types which are declared
as final (Glen Fernandes).
Variant:
Fixed issue with visibility. Now boost::bad_visit
exception could cross the boundaries of shared library with hidden
visibility and could be catched in other shared library with hidden
visibility.
YAP:
Minor changes to support MSVC++ version 14.15 (Visual Studio 2017
version 15.8).
Doc fixes.
Discontinued Libraries
Signals (v1) is now removed. Its removal was announced in 1.68 and its
deprecation was announced in 1.54. Boost 1.68 is the last release that
provides this library. Users are encouraged to use Signals2 instead. The

Notes for non-Windows
users
Boost build system now supports visibilities and builds shared libraries with
hidden visibility by default. As a result Boost shared libraries become smaller,
load faster and have less
... [More]
chances to get a symbol collision.
See Boost.Build
visibility and local-visibility for more info.
To disable that feature use ./b2 visibility=global like
command during build.

Spirit:
Spirit.X3:
Drop own FP routines in favor of boost::math
(#392) (#13531)
Missing visibility mark on exception types (#409)
to_utf8: Fixed wchar_t handling on Windows (#413)
(#395)

Stacktrace:
libbacktrace usage
was significantly improved. BOOST_STACKTRACE_USE_BACKTRACE
or boost_stacktrace_backtrace
users are encouraged to update:
Memory consumprion dropped down.
Stack capturing became faster by an order of magnitude.
syminfo fallback
enabled to provide information for visible symbols even without
debug information (thanks to github user driesdeschout!)#60,
#61.
Exact location of the backtrace.h
header now can be specified via BOOST_STACKTRACE_BACKTRACE_INCLUDE_FILE,
to allow backtrace.h
header usage on platforms and compilers where that header is
unreachable otherwise (for example Ubuntu Xenial + Clang) #59.
Optimized stack capturing if max_depth
is set (thanks to Jan Eisenhauer for the PR!) #67.
Added to_string(const stacktrace& )
functions for fast conversion of stacktraces to std::string
#57.
Maintenance: updated docs #62, tests updated.
System:
Boost.System is now header-only. A stub library is still built for
compatibility, but linking to it is no longer necessary.
Even more functions have been marked constexpr.
The destructor of error_category
is now protected and
no longer virtual. This
is a potentially breaking change, but its impact is expected to be
limited.
error_category now
has a constructor that accepts a 64 bit identifier, enabling distinct
category objects to compare equal.
The constructors of error_category
are now protected.
A non-allocating, nonthrowing overload of message
has been added.
A virtual function failed
has been added, allowing categories for which success is not synonymous
with 0.
The deprecated boost::system::throws
object has been removed.
boost::throws()
is now deprecated and its use is discouraged.
The constructor of system_error
taking a single error_code
argument is now explicit.
system_error::code()
now returns by value.
Test:
Boost.test v3.9 see the Changes
log for more details.
New feature:
Official support of header-only variant of Boost.Test with
multiple translation units.
Now possible to manually add a test case by specifying its
name, with BOOST_TEST_CASE_NAME
Better support of boost::exception
in the logs

#163
GitHub Pull Requests: PR#147, PR#148, PR#151,
PR#154, PR#161
TypeIndex:
Fix the regression and speed up parsing of the boost/type_traits.hpp
header by 30% (thanks to Nikita Kniazev for the PR!) #21.
Utility:
Added support for non-inheritable empty types to boost::compressed_pair
by avoiding the empty base optimization for types which are declared
as final (Glen Fernandes).
Variant:
Fixed issue with visibility. Now boost::bad_visit
exception could cross the boundaries of shared library with hidden
visibility and could be catched in other shared library with hidden
visibility.
YAP:
Minor changes to support MSVC++ version 14.15 (Visual Studio 2017
version 15.8).
Doc fixes.
Discontinued Libraries
Signals (v1) is now removed. Its removal was announced in 1.68 and its
deprecation was announced in 1.54. Boost 1.68 is the last release that
provides this library. Users are encouraged to use Signals2 instead. The
Boost community thanks Douglas Gregor for his work on Signals which served
its users well and which also inspired Signals2.

Notes for Windows
users
Boost.WinAPI has been updated to target Windows 7 by default, where possible.
In previous releases Windows Vista was the default.
Boost.WinAPI is used internally as the Windows
... [More]
SDK abstraction layer in a number
of Boost libraries, including Boost.Beast, Boost.Chrono, Boost.DateTime, Boost.Dll,
Boost.Log, Boost.Process, Boost.Stacktrace, Boost.System, Boost.Thread and
Boost.UUID. To select the target Windows version define BOOST_USE_WINAPI_VERSION
to the numeric version similar to _WIN32_WINNT
while compiling Boost and user's code. For example:
b2 release define=BOOST_USE_WINAPI_VERSION=0x0501 stage
The list of Windows API version numbers can be seen on this
page.
New Libraries
YAP: An expression template library
for C++14 and later, from Zach Laine.
Updated Libraries
Beast:
This version fixes a missing executor work guard in all composed
operations used in the implementation. Users who are experiencing
crashes related to asynchronous completion handlers are encouraged
to upgrade.

Fixed a bug with C-style array (PR#177).
Fixed a fusion::for_each signature to take functor
by value (#4427).
This may break existing code with non-copyable (non-movable)
functor, but the implementation wasn't correct for a long time;
the documantation was correct from the first. So, please make
sure your usage.
Fixed unintentional MPL placeholder substitution bug on fusion::transform (#5490).
Moved description, how to conform Fusion sequence as MPL sequence,
to mpl section (#4029).
Added notes regarding IO facility for adapted type (#6091).

correctly.
Remove erroneous use of std::move, and rely on NVRO instead.
Fix up support for changes to MPIR-3.0.
Fix various conversion errors in cpp_bin_float when the exponent
type is a long long,
or else we're converting to an integer that is wider than we are.
Fix compatibility issue with GCC-8 caused by the introduction of
std::byte.

'std::thread::native_handle_type' errors for builds using mingw-w64
#175: throw exception "Operation not permitted"
NUMA support moved to extra library (fiber-numa); enabled via property
numa (numa=on)

the documantation was correct from the first. So, please make
sure your usage.
Fixed unintentional MPL placeholder substituion bug on fusion::transform (#5490).

Notes for Windows
users
Boost.WinAPI has been updated to target Windows 7 by default, where possible.
In previous releases Windows Vista was the default.
Boost.WinAPI is used internally as the Windows
... [More]
SDK abstraction layer in a number
of Boost libraries, including Boost.Beast, Boost.Chrono, Boost.DateTime, Boost.Dll,
Boost.Log, Boost.Process, Boost.Stacktrace, Boost.System, Boost.Thread and
Boost.UUID. To select the target Windows version define BOOST_USE_WINAPI_VERSION
to the numeric version similar to _WIN32_WINNT
while compiling Boost and user's code. For example:
b2 release define=BOOST_USE_WINAPI_VERSION=0x0501 stage
The list of Windows API version numbers can be seen on this
page.
New Libraries

contour integration
Improve performance of polynomial addition
Continue to improve numerical integration routines, and in particular
add support for contour integrals.
Improve accuracy of erfc function's rational approximations.
Multi-index Containers:
Containers of moveable but non-copyable elements can now be serialized
(ticket #13478). Thanks to Sébastien Paris for the report.
multi_index_container's
default constructor is no longer explicit
(ticket #13518).
Multiprecision:
Support for multiprecision complex numbers
Multiprecision:
Support added for complex multiprecision numbers.
Changed conversion to unsigned integer types to be truncating to
match standard defined behaviour.
Correct bug in MPFR string formatting.
Fix undefined behaviour in cpp_dec_float conversion from long long.
Add support for Eigen interoperability.
float128.hpp: Fix Intel on Windows build.
Fix type used in temporaries when expanding expression templates
containing mixed expressions.
Fix infinite loop in gmp_float to fixed-point string conversion.
Update the expression templates to issue static_asserts with better
error messages when you try and do something unsupported.
Fix bug in cpp_int where incrementing to zero doesn't set the sign
correctly.
Remove erroneous use of std::move, and rely on NVRO instead.
Fix up support for changes to MPIR-3.0.
Fix various conversion errors in cpp_bin_float when the exponent
type is a long long,
or else we're converting to an integer that is wider than we are.
Fix compatibility issue with GCC-8 caused by the introduction of
std::byte.
Optional:
Added member function has_value() for compatibility with std::optional (issue
#52).
Added member function map() for transforming optional<T>
into optional<U>
using a function of type T
-> U.
Added member function flat_map() for transforming optional<T>
into optional<U>
using a function of type T
-> optonal<U>.
Predef:
Add support for __ARM_ARCH macro. (from Tim Blechmann)
Add detection for PTX architecture. (from Benjamin Worpitz)
Add nvcc compiler detection. (from Benjamin Worpitz)

Rational:
Fixed undefined behavior in normalize() (PR#19).
System:
Add constexpr to error_code and error_condition members under C++14
and above (PR#23).
Signals:
Removal Notice: Boost.Signals will
be removed in the next release. Boost.Signals was deprecated in version
1.54.0. Transition to Boost.Signals2 now to avoid disruption.
Stacktrace:
Fixed compilation on Solaris and other platforms that do qualify
address as const in dladdr
function (github 54).
Dropped dependency on Boost.LexicalCast.
Test:
