As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.
Tested on MSVC12 Update 3 RC for 32-bit and 64-bit and everything still works as in RC1, plus the compiler crashes are gone.
By "tested", do you mean attempted to build, or actually ran tests? I'm going to assume the former, as the latter is near-impossible for the layman.
It's a bit disheartening to see so few attempts to run integrity tests, but I guess it's an artifact of it being underdocumented and hard to run tests and get output from them without being a proper regression test runner.
Yes, that is a problem for testing all of Boost, but it is quite easy to check a particular library. For example, after downloading and unpacking the rc, you can test boost.system like this: cd boost_1_56_0 .\bootstrap cd libs/system/test ..\..\..\b2 HTH, --Beman
