Changelog:
New Libraries
Outcome: A set of tools for reporting and handling function failures in contexts where directly using C++ exception handling is unsuitable, from Niall Douglas.
Histogram: Fast and extensible multi-dimensional histograms with convenient interface for C++14, from Hans Dembinski.
Updated Libraries
Asio:
This release includes a number of new features, bug fixes, performance enhancements, and documentation improvements. Notable changes include:
Added the ability to use custom I/O executors with I/O objects (such as sockets).
Added a new async_result form with an initiate static member function.
Updated the Coroutines TS support and promoted it to the asio namespace.
Added a new DynamicBuffer_v2 concept which is CopyConstructible.
Added a new async_compose function that simplifies the implementation of user-defined asynchronous operations.
Added a make_strand helper function.
Relaxed the completion condition type requirements to only require move-constructibility rather than copy-constructibility.
Added a constructor for local::basic_endpoint that takes a string_view.
Added the noexcept qualifier to various functions.
Added a new BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_VISIBILITY configuration #define.
Enabled recycling of the memory used to type-erase a function object with the polymorphic executor.
Changed receive operations to return the correct number of bytes transferred when truncation (error::message_size) occurs on a datagram-oriented socket.
Fixed calculation of absolute timeout when the backend uses pthread_cond_timedwait.
Changed the range-based asynchronous connect operation to deduce the EndpointSequence iterator type.
Fixed buffer_sequence_begin and buffer_sequence_end to prevent implicit conversion.
Ensured SSL handshake errors are propagated to the peer before the local operation completes.
Suppressed the eof error on SSL shutdown as it actually indicates success.
Added a fallback error code for when we OpenSSL produces an SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL result without an associated error.
Changed composed asynchronous read and write operations to move buffer sequence objects.
Fixed a macOS-specific warning about the deprecation of OSMemoryBarrier.
Fixed compile errors that occur when using the composed read and write operations with MSVC 11.0.
Improved dispatch, post and defer documentation.
Fixed a Windows-specific memory leak that may occur when system_executor is used.

Context:
#91: cleanup of stack if creating ucontext fails
#97: add missing BOST_CONTEXT_DECL in stack_context
#98: fix jump_i386_sysv_macho writing garbage to the x87 control word
Coroutine2:
#28: don't crash on pthread_cancel
DLL:
New macro BOOST_DLL_USE_STD_FS. Define it to 1 to make the Boost.DLL use C++17's std::filesystem::path, std::system_error and std::error_code (#21). Note that exception types change from boost::system::system_error to std::system_error, so make sure to update catches.
Significant rewrite of the dynamic loadable detection and decoration logic. More precise errors are now reported in case of loading failures. Added shared_library::decorate() function that returns a decorated path to the library without doing any platform related queries and detections. Prefer using shared_library::load and shared_library constructors for better results (many thanks to Loïc Touraine for the work PR#23).
CI hardening, docs updates, typos fixes, cleanups and mg
#196: fix high contention on remote_ready_splk_
Filesystem:
Fixed a few instances of dereferencing std::string::end() in path implementation.
Fixed program termination in case of out of memory condition in directory iteratorsnce to error_code. (#58)
Fixed possible linking errors caused by missing definitions of static members of path. (#12759)
Fixed possible use of uninitialized data in directory iterator increment operation on Linux.
Added support fortatus query overloads for directory_entry. This avoids a relatively expensive OS query when file status is requested for a result of dereferencing a directory iterator. (PR#55)
Reworked current_path and read_symlink implementation to avoid possiblfilesystems. The functions now have an internal limit of the path size they will accept from the OS, which is currently 16 MiB.
Increased the size of the internal buffer used by copy_file.
Integer:
Added Extended Euclidean Algorithm and Modular Multiplicative Inverse function. (Nick Thompson, PR#11)
Log:
New features:
Added support for generating another log file name before collecting the file in the text file sink backend. This allows to combine appending to aexisting log file with timestamps and file counters in log filenames, and, consequently, file collection in general.
See changelog for more details.
Math:
New features:
Add Lanczos smoothing derivatives
Move numols/ to boost/math/differentiation/finite_difference.hpp.
Add mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, median, Gini coefficient, and median absolute deviation to tools/univariate_statistics.hpp.
Add correlation coefficients and covariand absolute Gini coefficient, Hoyer sparsity, oracle SNR, and the M[sub 2]M[sub 4] SNR estimator to tools/signal_statistics.hpp.
Add total variation, l0, l1, l2, and sup norms, as well as corresponding distance functions to tools/norms.hpp.
for polynomials, support complex coefficients, add .prime() and .integrate() methods.
Add quadratic_roots to tools/roots.hpp.
Add support for complex-valued functions to Newton's method in roots.hpp.
Add Catmull-Rom inted mp_invoke to mp_invoke_q
Added mp_similar
Added mp_set_union, mp_set_intersection, mp_set_difference
Added mp_not_fn
Added mp_transform_first, mp_transform_second, mp_transform_third
Added mp_filter
Addedp_valid_q
Added mp_back, mp_pop_back
Multi-index Containers:
size_type and difference_type are now defined as the allocator's same-named types. This will not make any difference in the vast majority of cases, but allows for some degreevia user-defined allocator types (see issue #17 for motivation). For the moment being, this change is not documented in the reference section (i.e., it has semi-official status).
Maintenance work.
Multiprecision:
Fix various conversioncheck for compatibility with Boost.Optional.
Prevent instantiation of std::numeric_limits on any old type when checking for convertibility. See #98.
Update variable precision code to account for arbitrary precision integers. See #103.
lization archives.
Fix bug in fixed precision iostream formatting in mpf_float and mpfr_float. See #113.
Add more overloads for special functions which are better handled natively by MPFR.
Fixed bug in generic exp implementation wh.
Fixed generic conversion from float to integer to avoid undefined behaviour. See #110.
PolyCollection:
Improved handling of stateful allocators and allocator propagation traits, after an error reported by Billy O'Neal (PR#9).
