Marshall, I had good luck building boost-1_56_0a1c2 on Windows 8.1 with Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. There are a number of warnings about 'round' but the standard .\b2 build completed without issue. I am going to run a few of my programs with this version as the include and let you know if I run into any issues. -Matt

Ok, here are rc2s. Fixed (I believe) are: * Now includes winapi library * Underscores instead of periods in the names * No more weit metadata in the tar file. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11048326/boost/boost-1_56_0a1c2.zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11048326/boost/boost-1_56_0a1c2.zip> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11048326/boost/boost-1_56_0a1c2.tar.gz https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11048326/boost/boost-1_56_0a1c2.tar.gz
