Hi,
In the mid of 2016, PR "Add support for Visual Studio 15" [1] was merged into develop and eventually into master branch. Although the patch was released in Boost 1.63.0, the release notes [2] are silent about that update. That is about Boost.Build, which I assume is the first to be updated to support a new toolkit.
I haven't checked current commits history of individual libraries. Status of VS2017 support in individual libraries may be at different stages.
Could anyone clarify any of these points: - Does Boost.Build in Boost 1.63.0 officially support VS2017? - Is there any schedule to fully support VS2017 in Boost 1.64.0? - Or, is that left at discretion of maintainers of individual libraries and VS2017 support might be reached gradually over several releases instead of in a single shot?
Support for a new compiler/version in Boost usually means two things: support in Boost Build and support in Boost Config. So asking whether Boost supports a particular new compiler/version implementation really means asking if Boost Build and Boost Config support that compiler/version.
