Yes, 113 is from me. We still need to support some machines which run on it. I hope they get soon upgraded to a new os.
The application gets updated. About all 4 to 8 boost versions the used boost from the application gets updated. Just keep in touch with the current libraries.
It is still a pita to support XP nowadays...

Hi,
I'm considering raising minimum target Windows version for my libraries to at least Windows 7. This means dropping workarounds for missing WinAPI functions that are present (but, for a very long time now, untested) for Windows XP. ... Comments? Objections? Counter-proposals? I'm especially interested in comments regarding Windows 7 as the new baseline - am I being too conservative?
FWIW, people are still using Boost in $current_year to target Windows XP. Yes, this surprised me as well.

Note that 113 is specifically about building Filesystem.
