The first beta packages for 1.62.0 beta 1 are now available:

The SHA256 checksums are as follows:

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

Thanks!

There were numerous build errors on windows for all versions of visual studio.

They seem to all be around the fiber library, for example:

compile-c-c++ bin.v2\libs\fiber\build\msvc-8.0\release\address-model-64\link-static\threading-multi\algo\algorithm.obj algorithm.cpp .\boost/fiber/algo/algorithm.hpp(10) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'chrono': No such file or directory

The full build logs can be found here: https://gist.github.com/teeks99/339f2768d09449c30e9cd9a20f749100

Compile means that the b2 command completed without errors Install means that the installers for the respective version were generated Link means that visual studio was able to link a sample executable to a library (libboost_thread-vcXXX- mt[-gd]-1_XX.lib) generated Execute means that the linked program executed without errors.

Is it possible to produce binary downloads even with the above errors? Or should we be thinking of creating a beta2 release?

Yes, the binaries did build, with the exception of fiber (I belive that was the only failing library), so if we want to exclude fiber from the beta, then we don't need a beta2. It might be better to do a beta 2 that includes fiber support on windows though. Tom
