A new release is costly

Understood. The problem is that the Boost 1.73 release as it is currently shipped, has a Beast that does not work with C++20 coroutines. Thus one or more other individuals besides me and Richard should decide if this is important enough to justify the cost of a new release. I can go either way on it. The fixes are stable and well tested.

We'll have another release in 2-4 months. I very much doubt that there are many users who are currently using Beast with C++20. And I don't see a huge hardship if those users need to wait a couple of months. I just don't see that a patch is worth all the extra work, including distribution, publicity, and confusion it might cause. Onward !!! don't waste time looking back. better to spend a little more time to tweak the testing/release process so that such a thing can't recurre. Robert Ramey
