The release candidates for the first 1.69.0 beta release are now available at:

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.

Compile means that the b2 command completed without errors 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.

Lots of errors with msvc-8.0:

compile-c-c++

bin.v2\libs\log\build\msvc-8.0\release\link-static\threadapi-win32\threading-multi\trivial.obj

...

trivial.cpp .\boost/parameter/aux_/arg_list.hpp(227) : error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments .\boost/parameter/aux_/arg_list.hpp(390) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::parameter::aux::arg_list' being compiled

If there is an easy way to fix arg_list.hpp that would be nice, but if this is the time to stop build 8.0, that's fine too.

I have essentially backed out a fix on 'develop' for VC++8.0 which intended to fix another problem with a multiple definitions linking error, https://github.com/boostorg/mpl/pull/36.

I would like to push this change to 'master'. It should fix your problem above with VC++8.0. I will subsequently take another look at the original fix and see if it can not be corrected.

If you're confident that this will fix the problem, then please do so. -- Marshall
