The release candidates for the first 1.69.0 beta release are now available at:

https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/beta/1.69.0.beta.1.rc1/source/

For the last beta release, this was: https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/beta/1.68.0.beta1.rc2/source/ It isn't crucial, but it would be nice for my scripts if we could keep the same paths (beta.1 vs. beta1).

The release notes are not yet available. The updated documentation is not yet available. [ They will be available in a day or two. ]

Does that mean there will definitely be another RC before the beta? Or are notes only required for the release?

The SHA256 checksums are as follows:

As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.

Also numerous errors for many (all dlls?) of the libraries with msvc-14.0.

However the issue with (the build tool?) for 14.0 seems like a showstopper for this RC. Tom
