Wow, I have never seen that matrix before - that’s really useful - thanks for the link!

Honestly, a link to that should be prominently displayed on the top boost.org page. I see it now in the development->testing, but that’s kinda buried - especially since most development->users aren’t looking to develop for boost itself.

Indeed - it is quite well hidden and Google struggles to find it without exactly the right question ☹

I have the develop version bookmarked 😊 and that meets my needs.

But I haven't found the equivalent for each Boost *release*. Since this contains the most detailed test results for each release, should we be keeping a copy of the regression report for master at the time of each release.

Or have I not found these records yet?

I believe that we should point users to these tables in the context of cxxstd support.

PS I note that the current https://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/index.html

Contains a reference to SVN health, but we have been using Git for some time now.

Also the user summary link

https://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/user/index.html

Where is this URL found ?

By a little light googling, I think. Perhaps it is obsolete relic and should be deleted? The normal links from https://www.boost.org/development/testing.html seem fine to me. In the past, I have found it difficult to find this page, and I believe I am not alone. That would do, except that it is not Boost release version specific. But most of all, IMO anyone asking the question "what library will work with what cxxstd? " should be urged to consult the testing pages as well as the cxxstd minimum requirement by providing a link to this page or, better, a Boost release version.

is not working at present

"Error extracting file: Error code 11 - No matching files were found."

This summary is probably a more useful link - but saving for each release would be good.

Should I raise a GitHub issue for this?
