Release candidates for 1.61.0 beta 1 are now available:

http://boost.cowic.de/rc/boost_1_61_0_b1_rc1.zip http://boost.cowic.de/rc/boost_1_61_0_b1_rc1.tar.bz2 http://boost.cowic.de/rc/boost_1_61_0_b1_rc1.tar.gz http://boost.cowic.de/rc/boost_1_61_0_b1_rc1.7z

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.

These packages were generated by the CI system that Rene has put together, and one user-visible change is that the directory inside archive is named after git commit hash. This will be changed for the final release. Otherwise, these were smoke-tested on Windows and Linux, and should be functionally identical to usual packages.

I'd like to request that we roll a 1_61_0_b2 without this change. The directory structure is a big part of what we need to verify and this throws off the build system that I've had running.

I meant "rc2" not "b2".

Other than that, everything seems to work correctly:

toolset arch compile Link Execute msvc-8.0 32 X X X msvc-8.0 64 X X X msvc-9.0 32 X X X msvc-9.0 64 X X X msvc-10.0 32 X X X msvc-10.0 64 X X X msvc-11.0 32 X X X msvc-11.0 64 X X X msvc-12.0 32 X X X msvc-12.0 64 X X X msvc-14.0 32 X X X msvc-14.0 64 X X X

Compile means that the b2 command completed without errors

Install means that the installers for the respective version were generated Link means that visual studio was able to link a sample executable to a library (libboost_thread-vcXXX-mt[-gd]-1_XX.lib) generated

Execute means that the linked program executed without errors.
