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
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)
Optimized stack capturing if max_depth is set
Added to_string(const stacktrace& ) functions for fast conversion of stacktraces to std::string
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.

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.
Use the pregenerated file instead.
The configure step is only intended to be used as a base
when porting to new platforms, and as-is it didn't use the
same flags that were used in other places.
See https://github.com/boostorg/config/issues/240 for more details.
Bump PKGREVISION.
This should properly fix PR pkg/53543 (also remove the big `XXX'
comment, this is a proper solution to the problem).
Thanks to <joerg> for suggesting that!
At least devel/boost-libs can fail due an `Argument list too long' due the use
of `+' in ${FIND}. Revert -r1.74 in order to use `\;' instead (and add a big XXX
comment regarding that).
1.68.0:
New Libraries
YAP:
An expression template library for C++14 and later, from Zach Laine.

Fusion:
Added a workaround for ambiguous call of fusion::deque constructor on GCC 4.4/c++0x
Fixed a bug with C-style array
Fixed a fusion::for_each signature to take functor by value
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 substituion bug on fusion::transform.
Moved description, how to conform Fusion sequence as MPL sequence, to mpl section.
Added notes regarding IO facility for adapted type.

Version 1.67.0:
New Libraries:
- Contract: Contract programming for C++.
- HOF: Higher-order functions for C++.
Updated Libraries:
- Asio:
Added missing const qualifier to basic_socket_acceptor::get_option.
Worked around a parsing error that occurs with some versions of gcc.
Fixed broken code samples in tutorial.
Added new experimental features. (Note that "experimental" features may be changed without notice in subsequent releases.)
Added experimental::detached completion token.
Added experimental::redirect_error completion token.
Added experimental::co_spawn facility for integration with the coroutines technical specification.
Updated timeout examples to use latest features.
Used asio::steady_timer rather than asio::deadline_timer.
Used asio::dynamic_buffer rather than asio::streambuf.
Used timed asio::io_context::run_for() function for blocking clients.
Added example showing a custom completion token for blocking with timeouts.
Fixed unit tests to compile when BOOST_ASIO_NO_DEPRECATED is defined.
Changed socket iostreams to use chrono by default, to fix compatibility with the Networking TS. Define BOOST_ASIO_USE_BOOST_DATE_TIME_FOR_SOCKET_IOSTREAM to enable the old Boost.Date_Time interface in basic_socket_streambuf and basic_socket_iostream.
Updated examples to use chrono rather than Boost.Date_Time.
Fixed an incorrect member function detector in the is_dynamic_buffer trait.
Fixed an async_result incompatibility with deprecated handler_type.
Added a missing move optimisation in the SSL stream implementation.
Fixed incorrect basic_resolver_results::value_type typedef.
Fixed a compile error with some OpenSSL versions when SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION is defined.
Changed add_certificate_authority to process multiple certificates in a bundle.
Eliminated deprecation warning with MSVC by using std::invoke_result rather than std::result_of.
Changed to use std::string_view for C++17 or later, and std::experimental::string_view for C++14. Define the preprocessor macro BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_STD_STRING_VIEW to force the use of std::experimental::string_view (assuming it is available) when compiling in C++17 mode.
Ensured DynamicBuffer template arguments are decayed before using in enable_if tests.
Changed documentation to distinguish legacy completion handlers (which are still required to be CopyConstructible) from new MoveConstructible handlers.
Suppressed a discarded return value warning in the buffer debugging support.
Fixed basic_yield_context to work with completion signatures containing reference parameters.
Ensured that stackful coroutines launched using spawn() correctly store decayed copies of their function and handler arguments.
Fixed some compatibility issues with Android.
Added cross-compilation support to Jamfiles.
Fixed some minor portability issues in examples.
- Atomic:
Breaking change: Changed the result of the (op)_and_test operations added in Boost 1.66 to the opposite - the functions now return true if the operation result is non-zero. This is consistent with other test methods in Boost.Atomic and the C++ standard library. Users can define BOOST_ATOMIC_DETAIL_HIGHLIGHT_OP_AND_TEST when compiling their code to emit warnings on every use of the changed functions. This way users can locate the code that needs to be updated.
Update for C++2a. On C++11 compilers that support scoped enums, the memory_order enumeration is now scoped and contains constants with shorter names like acquire, release or seq_cst (i.e. users can use memory_order::acquire instead of memory_order_acquire). The old constants are also provided for backward compatibility. (P0439R0)
Update for C++2a. Added experimental support for atomic operations on floating point types. In addition to general operations, add, sub, negate operations and their fetch_(op) and opaque_(op) versions are supported. Lock-free property can be tested with the new macros BOOST_ATOMIC_FLOAT/DOUBLE/LONG_DOUBLE_LOCK_FREE. The support for floating point types is optional and can be disabled by defining BOOST_ATOMIC_NO_FLOATING_POINT. (P0020R6)
Added new experimental operations:
negate_and_test and complement_and_test which perform negation or bitwise complement and return true if the result is not zero.
add, sub, negate, bitwise_and, bitwise_or, bitwise_xor, bitwise_complement operations which perform the operation and return its result.
For generic atomic<T> specialization, the default constructor is now trivial if T's default constructor is.
The internal implementation of atomic<T> has been updated to avoid undefined behavior that stems from signed integer overflows. As required by the C++ standard, the library uses two's complement representation of signed integers internally and accroding rules of overflow. Currently, the library requires the native signed integer types to also use two's complement representation (but no defined overflow semantics).
Improved Clang support. In particular, fixed DCAS not being lock-free and fixed possible incorrect code generated on 32-bit x86.
Improved MinGW support. For gcc versions up to 4.6, fixed compilation of DCAS on x86.
In x86 PIE code, asm blocks now preserve ebx value.
- Beast:
This version fixes significant defects in websocket::stream which can lead to asserts or undefined behavior. Users are encouraged to update to the latest Boost release.
For a complete list of changes, please view the official Release Notes.
- ContainerHash:
Extracted from the functional module to break a dependency cycle.
Moved headers to new location to reflect name change, the old include paths will still work.
Added support for std::string_view, std::error_code, std::error_condition, std::optional, std::variant, std::monostate where available.
Added explicit support for vector<bool>, so that it will work with libc++.
More detail in the library change log.
- Context:
fix i386/macho routines to correctly return transfer_t in EAX/EDX
__sanitizer_finish_switch_fiber should be called directly after context switch
Clang on Windows : error: No best alternative for libs/context/build/asm_sources

More info https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_67_0.html
This changes the package for anyone that used it with C++17 experimental
support and now won't get it (we're cutting off at 'actual C++17').

New Libraries
Process library by Klemens D. Morgenstern, that provides cross platorm ways to allows you to:
* create child processes
* setup streams for child processes
* communicate with child processes through streams (synchronously or asynchronously)
* wait for processes to exit (synchronously or asynchronously)
* terminate processes
distfile. This is the same as before my previous commit, but into a versioned
subdirectory.
Automatic fetch from sourceforge will probably fail (I get three different
checksums for different tries), but I've also uploaded this to ftp.NetBSD.org,
so the failover fetches will work, eventually.
(Keep MASTER_SITES for updates.)
Atomic:
* Added the static constant atomic<T>::is_always_lock_free for conformance with C++17. The constant indicates that the given specialization always provides lock-free implementation of atomic operations.

Trac 12177: "vector::priv_merge uses unqualified uintptr_t".
Trac 12183: "GCC 6.1 thinks boost::container::string violates strict aliasing".
Trac 12256: "set<std::pair<int,int>>::insert cause compilation error in debug configuration in Visual Studio 2012".

* More tests and docs
Functional/Forward:
* Fix C++11 compile error.
Interprocess:
* Fixed bug GitHub Pull 27 ("Fix undefined behavior").
Intrusive:
* Fixed bugs:
Boost Trac 11476: has_member_function_callable_with.hpp is massively broken with BOOST_NO_CXX11_DECLTYPE
Boost Trac 11994: Support intrusive container key extractors that return the key by value
Boost Trac 12184: clang -Wdocumentation warning
Boost Trac 12190: Intrusive List + Flat Map combination crashes
Boost Trac 12229: intrusive::unordered_set<T>::rehash() broken
Boost Trac 12245: bstree uses a shared static size_traits for constant_time_size<false>
Lexical Cast:
* Fix incorrect static assertion 11759
Log:
* New features:
Added new tools for inter-process logging on a local machine. The implementation includes a resource name wrapper, an inter-process message queue and a sink backend.
Added a new character decorator called max_size_decor. The new decorator allows to limit the output of its adopted formatter up to the specified length.
* Bug fixes:
Fixed that logging streams could retain formatting settings across different log records. (12178)
See changelog for more details.
Math:
* New Features:
Enabled all the special function code to work correctly with types whose precision can change at runtime: for example type mpfr_float from Boost.Multiprecision.
* Patches:
Fix tgamma_delta_ratio for cases where the delta is small compared to the base.
Fix misc GCC-4.4 test failures.
Optional:
* Fixed Trac 12179.
Phoenix:
* Fix compilation for MSVC 10. pull-request 18
* Remove unused preprocessed files. pull-request 28
* Fix erroneous doc for switch_ statement. 8156
* Cleanup config unordered. pull-request 33
* Suppress unused placeholder warnings.
* Fix too few arguments error on binary math functions.
Regex:
* Fix buffer over-run error when parsing certain invalid regexes, see 12222.
* Fix detection of ICU in library build, see 12152.
* Fix bug in case sensitivity change, see 11940.
* Allow types wider than int in \x{} expressions (for char32_t etc), see 11988.
Test:
* Boost.test v3.3 see the Change log section for more details.
* New features
dataset driven test-cases have now a unique name and all sample tests of a dataset live inside the same test suite
Boost.test learned a new command line switch, --logger for setting a test logger as well as its parameter in one command
Boost.test learned to have several loggers at the same time, each of which having their own log level and output stream
Boost.test learned a new logger, JUNIT, that is able to output Junit/xUnit compatible streams
It is now possible to specify several test filters through the environment variable BOOST_TEST_RUN_FILTERS

TypeIndex:
* ctti_type_index was made constexpr in C++14. Now it is possible to retrieve actual name of the type as const char* at compile time. So we can do a lot of interesting things at compile time: check namespace of a type, sort types according to their lexical representation, check that type is a template type and so on... A few examples were provided.
* Fixed issue with noexcept on MSVC in type names and issue with space in type name (pulled from klemens-morgenstern/develop)
* Fixed typos pull-request 7
* Improved CI testing
Unordered:
* Remove use of deprecated boost::iterator.
* Fixed an exception safety issue in assignment of unordered_multiset and unordered_multimap.
* See the changelog for more details.
Variant:
* Fixed variant construction from classes derived from variant 7120, 10278, 12155
* Variant constructors and assignment operators now do not participate in overload resolutions if variant can not hold the input type 5871, 11602
* Fixed the issue with implicit conversion operator in C++11 8555
* Fixed comparisons when variant holds non-const reference 11751
* Fixed noexcept for variant's move-assignment 11696
* Fixed double quotes in includes 12057
* Dropped BOOST_VARIANT_NO_REFERENCE_SUPPORT macro and dropped support for compilers without SFINAE 12250
