I do not believe so. By my count about 10 out of 50 are c++03.
There are 118 directories in libs, each of them roughly correspond to a library. Out of them, from the top of my head, only Boost.Context2 and Boost.VMD strictly do not support C++03. There are 36 Jamfiles that indicate dependency on Boost.Test.
Are you saying that the support for c++03 in Test was dropped or will be in the near future?
At some near point in a future. I do not have resources to maintain two branches of the library. Older releases are there forever. Anyone interested in c++03 compatible version can download it without ny problems.
This makes Boost.Test unsuitable for testing Boost libraries that support C++03 (currently - nearly all). Are you suggesting to start porting tests from Boost.Test to another testing framework?
