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. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se

By "tested", I mean that in addition to building Boost, I have compiled some of our own projects and run their regression tests, which make heavy use of many Boost libraries. I do sometimes run the Boost regression test suite and have done so for a previous 1.56 build, but there are many expected failures that haven't been marked as such for newer MSVC versions as well as compiler crashes, so I often don't know which failures are critical.

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

... Boost.System broken on cygwin, local_free_on_destruction not defined. https://github.com/boostorg/system/pull/4
Downloaded RC2 on Windows, and tested the above change with cygwin/gcc, mingw/gcc, VC++ 10, 11, and 12. All boost.system tests passed. Downloaded RC2 on Linux, and tested the above change with gcc. All boost.system tests passed. --Beman

I'm a bit lost. Was this RC announced? Or is it an extra RC to fix the show-stoppers? We want to merge some small fixes and doc improvements for 1.56, not really show-stoppers, but still convenient. Will the master open again and will there be an RC3? I hope so. Can the Release Manager team please announce when the master opens again, and when it will be closed? Thanks, Barend

This was the announcement for RC2.

The master branch is still closed. There may be an RC3, but if there is, it will be specific bug fixes. We’re not going to open up for general changes before the release; the goal here is to make the differences between RC(n) and RC(n+1) as small as possible. We will definitely announce when the master branch is open again, but it will be after we release. — Marshall
