Boost has never required support of any specific compiler - just compatibility to the current standard - which I guess would mean C++14. In practice however, authors want to see their stuff used so will make efforts to support less conforming but popular compilers. And of course it depends on the type of package - The latest/greatest functional programming implementation would be find with supporting only the standard which users of some "lazy_sort" routine would expect support of older compilers - because it's easily possible and likely more widely used.
