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

https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/beta/1.69.0.beta1.rc2/source/

The release notes are not yet final.

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.

I have tried to build with VC-15.9 (yesterday's update) and I hit the following:

don't know how to make

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\vcvarsall.bat ...skipped pc:\boost-build\boost\bin.v2\standalone\msvc\msvc-15.9msvc-setup.read for lack of

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\vcvarsall.bat... common.mkdir c:\boost-build\boost

after which everything fails of course, which is unsurprising as vcvarsall.bat is now located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat"

I don't know why, how or what, but that's what I see. b2 builds, but that's because I'm building from a dev-prompt.

Short answer - I don't care about this for the beta. (since the MSVC update happened yesterday), but it ought to be fixed for the 1.69.0 release.

I understand [that you don't care about something that happened the day before]. Would indeed be nice to have it fixed, 15.9 is quite an update and from what I understood from STL on reddit, the base for VC-16 (VS2019). degski -- *“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop" - Herbert Stein*
