Context:
Add support for RISC-V LP64D
#72: Fix ABI violation on ppc64 ELFv2
#99: cleanup of stack if creating ucontext fails
Conversion:
Maintenance work.
Core:
Added functions alloc_construct, alloc_construct_n, alloc_destroy, and alloc_destroy_n in <boost/core/alloc_construct.hpp> for allocator aware and exception safe construction and destruction of objects and arrays. (Glen Fernandes)
Added constexpr functions first_scalar in <boost/core/first_scalar.hpp> for obtaining a pointer to the first scalar element of an array. Given a pointer of type T* they return a pointer of type remove_all_extents_t<T>*. (Glen Fernandes)
Added class template noinit_adaptor in <boost/core/noinit_adaptor.hpp> which is an allocator adaptor that converts any allocator into one whose construct(ptr) performs default initialization via placement new, and whose destroy(ptr) invokes the value_type destructor directly. (Glen Fernandes)
Added class template default_allocator in <boost/core/default_allocator.hpp>, which can serve as a minimal default allocator that has interface similar to C++20 std::allocator, supports configurations with disabled exceptions and does not have std as an associated namespace. The allocator uses operator new and operator delete for allocation. (Glen Fernandes)
In <boost/core/uncaught_exceptions.hpp> header, added workarounds for better compatibility with QNX SDP 7.0 when libc++/libc++abi libraries are used. (Andrey Semashev, #59)
The <boost/detail/sp_typeinfo.hpp> header is now marked as deprecated and will be removed in a future release. <boost/core/typeinfo.hpp> should be used instead. (Peter Dimov)
Dynamic Bitset:
Enabled hardware-assisted popcount on MSVC (#38).
Added support for boost::hash and std::hash (#45).
Support copy-initialization with default constructor (#48).
Endian:
Clarified requirements on the value type template parameter
Added support for float and double
Added endian_load, endian_store
Updated endian_reverse to correctly support all non-bool integral types
Moved deprecated names to the deprecated header endian.hpp
Fiber:
documentation for shared_work updated
Filesystem:
Fixed incorrect error_code returned from directory iterator increment when readdir_r is used.
For path, fixed rvalue-aware operator/ return type to return an rvalue instead of rvalue reference. This fixes leaving a dangling reference in the user's code if the result of operator/ is bound to a const reference. (#110)
Fixes for better compatibility with Windows CE. (#24)
Added minimal support for CMake. (#106)
Flyweight:
Maintenance work.
Histogram:
New features:
Support for thread-safe storages and new thread-safe accumulators
Support for compiling without exceptions/RTTI (increases performance by 10-20 %) (with Glen Fernandes)
Performance improvements for 1D and 2D histograms
boost::histogram::indexed now returns forward iterator range instead of input iterator range
boost::histogram::indexed_range::accessor is now non-copyable and acts like reference to cell value, making more algorithms from the C++ stdlib work
boost::histogram::algorithm::reduce with new slice option and option fusion
boost::histogram::algorithm::project accepts runtime indices for static histograms
Bug Fixes:
boost::histogram::algorithm::reduce also works on histograms that have some axis types without reduction support
boost::histogram::axis::traits::update now works correctly for boost::histogram::axis::variant
Other:
100 % test coverage
Reduced internal Boost dependencies
Improved documentation and examples
Guaranteed no-throw moves for all builtin axis types
Compile cleanly at higher warning levels
See changelog for more details.
IoStreams:
Fixed processing of multi-stream files (#87).
Added support for multi-threaded LZMA (#95).
Interprocess:
GitHub #85 ("warning: Implicit conversion loses integer precision").
GitHub #86 ("warning: Possible misuse of comma operator").
Intrusive:
GitHub #42: Documentation does not describe treap priority_of_value changes
GitHub #43: Fix tests with BOOST_INTRUSIVE_VARIADIC_TEMPLATES enabled
GitHub #45: Disable variadic templates for MSVC-12 to avoid ICEs
LexicalCast:
Added tests for boost::filesystem::path conversions #25.
Maintenance work, including #28.
Log:
New features:
Improved support for C++17 std::string_view in basic_formatting_ostream. The string view can now participate in character code conversion on output.
Added auto_newline formatter and stream manipulator. It can be used to ensure that formatted output always ends with a newline while avoiding duplicate newlines.
In the output stream, text file and text multi-file sink backends added support for configuring behavior with regard to appending a trailing newline to every formatted log record. Use auto_newline_mode named parameter of the backend constructor or call the set_auto_newline_mode method on the sink backend.
Note: The default behavior with regard to trailing newlines added by sink backends has changed slightly compared to the previous Boost.Log releases. The backends will now only add a trailing newline if there isn't one in the formatted log message string already. In previous releases a newline was added unconditionally.
Added support for passing arbitrary function objects in the filter and format named parameters to sink constructors and convenience functions for initializing sinks. For example, it is now possible to specify C++11 lambda functions directly in these parameters. (#63)
In the default filter and formatter factories used in filter and formatter parsers, added support for severity level attribute values of type boost::log::trivial::severity_level. For filters, the support is limited to attributes with "Severity" name.
Bug fixes:
Fixed incorrect parsing of components of the rotated file names while scanning for files in the text file sink backend. If the file name pattern ended with a placeholder (for example, a file counter), the scan_for_files method would not find files matching that pattern in the target storage, leaving them unmanaged. In particular, such files would not be deleted to free target storage. (#78)
Updated basic_formatting_ostream and basic_record_ostream to make it possible to overload stream output operators for pointers to user-defined types. User-defined operator<< overloads taking std::basic_ostream and a pointer argument should now be picked up by the compiler when the pointer is being written to one of Boost.Log streams. (#84)
See changelog for more details.
Math:
New features:
Catmull-Rom interpolator now works in C++11
Cardinal quadratic B-spline interpolation
Domain of elliptic integrals extended
sin_pi and cos_pi performance improvements
Forward-mode automatic differentiation
Vector valued barycentric rational interpolation
Ooura's method for evaluation of Fourier integrals
Bug fixes:
Multiple compatibility issues with Multiprecision fixed
Lambert-W fixed on a rare architecture
Metaparse:
New features:
In C++11 variadic template support for the following: sequence, one_of_c, one_of, repeated_one_of, repeated_one_of1, one_char_except_c, one_char_except.
Bug fixes:
BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING does not use out of range character values as template arguments.
any_of_c<> does not create empty array in C++14.
Move:
Git Issue #26: "Invalid iterator increment/decrement in the last iteration of adaptive_sort_combine_blocks".
Multi Array:
Simplify allocator support by using new alloc_construct_n and alloc_destroy_n facilities from Core. (Glen Fernandes)
Multi-index Containers:
Added variants of const_mem_fun and mem_fun for differently qualified member functions (issue #24).
Terse key specification syntax now correctly handles noexcept-specified member functions (issue #24).
Outcome:
Enhancements:
#184 As per request from Boost release managers, relocated version.hpp and revision.hpp into detail, and added the Boost licence boilerplate to the top of every source file which was missing one (I think). Also took the opportunity to run the licence restamping script over all Outcome, so copyright dates are now up to date.
#185 Add FAQ item explaining issue #185, and why we will do nothing to fix it right now.
#189 Refactored the OUTCOME_TRY implementation to use more clarified customisation points capable of accepting very foreign inputs. Removed the std::experimental::expected<T, E> specialisations, as those are no longer necessary. Fixed the documentation for the customisation points which previously claimed that they are ADL discovered, which they are not. Added a recipe describing how to add in support for foreign input types.
#183 Added a separate motivation/plug_error_code specifically for Boost.
Bug fixes:
OUTCOME_VERSION_MINOR hadn't been updated to 1.
#181 Fix issue #181 where Outcome didn't actually implement the strong swap guarantee, despite being documented as doing so.
#190 Fix issue #190 in Boost edition where unit test suite was not runnable from the Boost release distro.
#182 Fix issue #182 where trait::is_exception_ptr_available<T> was always true, thus causing much weirdness, like not printing diagnostics and trying to feed everything to make_exception_ptr().
#192 Fix issue #192 where the std::basic_outcome_failure_exception_from_error() was being defined twice for translation units which combine standalone and Boost Outcome's.
Parameter:
Upgraded keyword generation macro BOOST_PARAMETER_TEMPLATE_KEYWORD (#15).
Moved keyword generation macro BOOST_PARAMETER_NESTED_KEYWORD from Accumulators to this library (#28).
Added support for std::reference_wrapper and std::ref() (#16).
Moved boost::parameter::required, boost::parameter::optional, and boost::parameter::deduced metafunction definitions to their own header files in directory boost/parameter (#18).
Added support for Boost.Parameter-enabled function call operators (#20).
Added support for parameter category qualifiers "forward", "consume", and "move_from" (current qualifiers are "in", "out", and "in_out") (#21) (#23) based on http://www.modernescpp.com/index.php/c-core-guidelines-how-to-pass-function-parameters. Added new usage syntax BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME((object-name), namespace-name) qualifier(tag-name)) and BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME(qualifier(name)). (Existing code that uses qualifiers directly and correctly with BOOST_PARAMETER_FUNCTION and other code generation macros should remain unaffected for now, so no breaking changes.) The reason for the change in usage is to enable applying of parameter category constraints to Boost.Parameter-enabled functions and constructors invoked through argument composition. (Otherwise, it is currently possible to use argument composition to bypass parameter category constraints applied in BOOST_PARAMETER_FUNCTION et. al.)
Added support for perfect forwarding (#23) (#26), so that parameter::parameters::operator() can accept non-const rvalues. As a positive side effect, Boost.Parameter-enabled functions and constructors are no longer bound by BOOST_PARAMETER_MAX_ARITY on compilers that support perfect forwarding. User code can now check for this support by detecting the configuration macro BOOST_PARAMETER_HAS_PERFECT_FORWARDING, or manually turn off this support by defining the configuration macro BOOST_PARAMETER_DISABLE_PERFECT_FORWARDING.
Added metafunctions boost::parameter::is_argument_pack (#27), boost::parameter::are_tagged_arguments (#52), and boost::parameter::result_of::compose (#75).
Added variadic function template boost::parameter::compose() which takes in named arguments and returns them in an argument pack (#52). For compilers that do not support perfect forwarding, the configuration macro BOOST_PARAMETER_COMPOSE_MAX_ARITY determines the maximum number of arguments that boost::parameter::compose() can take in (#61).
Added code generation macros BOOST_PARAMETER_BASIC_FUNCTION_CALL_OPERATOR, BOOST_PARAMETER_BASIC_CONST_FUNCTION_CALL_OPERATOR, BOOST_PARAMETER_NO_SPEC_FUNCTION, BOOST_PARAMETER_NO_SPEC_MEMBER_FUNCTION, BOOST_PARAMETER_NO_SPEC_CONST_MEMBER_FUNCTION, BOOST_PARAMETER_NO_SPEC_FUNCTION_CALL_OPERATOR, BOOST_PARAMETER_NO_SPEC_CONST_FUNCTION_CALL_OPERATOR, BOOST_PARAMETER_NO_SPEC_CONSTRUCTOR, and BOOST_PARAMETER_NO_SPEC_NO_BASE_CONSTRUCTOR (#52).
Added support for Boost.MP11 (#47) (#66) (#70). User code can now check for this support by detecting the configuration macro BOOST_PARAMETER_CAN_USE_MP11, or manually turn off this support by defining the configuration macro BOOST_PARAMETER_DISABLE_MP11_USAGE.
Improved support for parameter-dependent return types via SFINAE (#73).
PtrContainer:
Fix a ptr_vector regression introduced in 1.66.0 (#24).
PolyCollection:
Maintenance work.
SmartPtr:
Added aliasing constructors to weak_ptr
Added weak_ptr<T>::empty()
Added enable_shared_from, shared_from, and weak_from
Stacktrace:
Fixed output of name(), source_location() and source_line() for the default constructed frame with thread sanitizer builds in C++98 mode.
Fixed output of long strings from name() and source_location() on MSVC #78.
Maintenance work.
Test:
Boost.test v3.11 see the Changes log for more details.
Breaking changes:
Boost.Test shows deprecation warnings if some very old headers as deprecated. If you encounter such warnings, please follow the indications: those headers will be removed in a future release.
New feature:
Now BOOST_TEST can be used to compare abstract types
Bug fixes and pull requests:
GitHub Issues: #209, #218
GitHub Pull Requests: #219, #224
Utility:
Implemented function template ostream_string in <boost/utility/ostream_string.hpp> to optimally write any kind of string content to an output stream. It satisfies the requirements of [ostream.formatted.reqmts]. (Glen Fernandes)
Optimized the stream output operators of basic_string_view and basic_string_ref to write directly to the rdbuf stream buffer. (Glen Fernandes)
Uuid:
Breaking change: MD5 name-based uuid generation was corrected to be identical on all endian systems. Define BOOST_UUID_COMPAT_PRE_1_71_MD5 to keep the result in a format compatible with 1.66 through 1.70. This does not affect the default name-based uuid generation which is based on SHA1. (#109)
Variant:
Fixed compilation of boost::apply_visitor with variants passed by non const reference in #68. Many thanks to Ed Catmur for providing the fix.
Added support for std::hash (#49). Macro BOOST_VARIANT_DO_NOT_SPECIALIZE_STD_HASH could be defined to avoid those specializations.
Added micro optimizations for binary size and performance by Nikita Kniazev in #63 and #66.
Maintenance work, including #64 by Nikita Kniazev and #67 by Hans Dembinski.
YAP:
Added an example showing how to make self-evaluating YAP expressions (that is, expressions that don't need an explicit call to evaluate() or transform()).
Changelog:

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:

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.

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.

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.

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:

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:

* 11687 Xcode (Apple clang) and thread_local
* 12114 context does not preserve fpu context on ios arm64 devices (fixed for other architecturs too)
* 12411 fpu registers not preserved with O2 optimizations in Visual Studio (fixed for other architecturs too)
* 12551 building boost on arm64 causes error: unknown directive
* reduced signatur for ontop-functions
* unit-test for private fcontext-API
* performance-test for ucontext and fcontext fixed
Fiber:
* unbounded_channel and bounded_channel marked as deprecated
* new classes buffered_channel and unbuffered_channel
* performance improved
Fusion:
* Fixed fusion::vector buggy constructors (Thanks to Lee Clagett).
* BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT* and BOOST_FUSION_DEFINE* now allow empty structures. (6592)
* BOOST_FUSION_DEFINE* allows move constructor and assignment. (10099)
* Adaptor for std::array (Thanks to Mateusz Łoskot). (8241)
* Fixed returning temporary variable warnings on MSVC.
Geometry:
* Intersection: take care that output is valid (work in progres, not yet finished - but more is valid)
* 12289 Avoid warning/compilation error for std::cout
* 12412 Invalid result of covered_by() with geographic Points and Boxes
* 12413 rtree::remove() not working properly with geographic Points
Hash:
* Fixed some warnings.
Interprocess:
* Fixed bugs
Intrusive:
* Fixed bugs
Lexical Cast:
* Fixed issue found by -fsanitize=undefined 21
Log:
* Removed the previously deprecated type_info_wrapper.
* Added a way to access the current file name from the text file sink backend. The file name can be obtained with the get_current_file_name method.
* Bug fixes
Metaparse:
* Improved the implementation of BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING
Move:
* Improved experimental adaptive sort algorithm performance
* Activate BOOST_MOVE_FORCEINLINE
Optional:
* Added two new in-place constructors. They work similarly to emplace() functions: they initialize the contained value by perfect-forwarding the obtained arguments. One constructor always initializes the contained value, the other based on a boolean condition.
* Syntax o = {} now correctly un-initializes an optional, just like in std::optional.
* Fixed optional<optional<T>&> initialization. (12203)
* Optional constructors are sfinae-friendly. This fixes interaction with std::tuple. (12563)
Phoenix:
* Most of modules now support C++11 variadic templates.
* Fixed type deduction failure with result type.
* Suppress unused warnings.
* Fixed too few arguments error on binary math functions.
* Added workarounds for older compiler.
Python:
* Added (basic) support for C++11 (std::shared_ptr, std::unique_ptr)
* Incorporated an extension API to wrap NumPy
* Removed obsolete bits and pieces
Test:
* Boost.test v3.4 see the Change log section for more details.
* New feature: per_element and lexicographic modifiers of BOOST_TEST can also be applied to string comparison
* Breaking change: colons that appear in test case names are replaced with underscores
* Bug fixes
TypeIndex:
* Added runtime_cast to the library as an emulation of dynamic_cast. Thanks to Chris Glover for the implementation. See runtime_cast reference for more info.
* Internals of the CTTI were made more platform independant, due to change of the std::size_t type to unsigned int.
Units:
* Fix inspection warnings
* updated physico-chemical constants to CODATA 2014 values
* define biot correctly as 10 Ampere
Unordered:
* Fix an exception safety issue in assignment.
* Use std::allocator_traits where available, and support modern style rebind (12459).
* Add some allocator aware constructors.
* Use the hint iterator in emplace_hint.
* Fixed some warnings.
