This message is issued by Boost.Config, not by VS.
https://github.com/boostorg/config/blob/develop/include/boost/config/compile...
One could argue that the version check there should be >= 1920 as these minor updates cause too much fuss.
To avoid the problem of not being clear where this message comes from, I have proposed the addition of BOOST_PRAGMA_MESSAGE to Boost.Config:
https://github.com/boostorg/config/pull/195
which prepends the file and the line to the message, so that you could get f.ex.
../boost-git/boost\boost/config/compiler/visual.hpp(334): note: Boost.Config is older...
Sounds much better to me. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
