Re: [boost] Boost website changes and .'cxxstd`
Hi Edward, you're right. The beta website link is https://beta.boost.org/ FYI, there is a file 'libraries.txt' in the source codes which contains all the libraries info. It looks like that it can be generated by a site tool. To my codes review, there exist multiple records for a library for various versions in the above text file. And the codes check and compare a library record’s version info with the current version, and pick one matching a condition. There is no record with 'cxxstd' field at the text file for beta website but for main site. Unfortunately, there is no one to match version comparison condition for main site as well at the moment. The updates codes of beta website will only show 'C++ standard minimum level' with 'cxxstd' value only if a 'cxxstd' value exists.

How is "libraries.txt" generated ?

I do not understand what you are saying. Isn't the idea to generate "libraries.txt" for the beta website somehow ? Once "libraries.txt" is generated for the beta website, will your code now show the correct 'cxxstd' information ? Do realize that 'cxxstd' has been updated on the 'develop' branch for the C++11 on up libraries. Maybe the website needs for the code to be updated in the 'master' branch in order to pick up the 'cxxstd' value for a library. I did put in a 'cxxstd' value of '03' for the libraries I maintain, preprocessor, vmd, and tti, in both the 'develop' and 'master' branch, so this should be picked up by your code.
