The default naming of libraries in Unix-like environment now matches system conventions, and does not include various decorations.
Does this answer your question?
Ok so it was done deliberately. Why the change, the decorations were useful in denoting the kind of library ?
As the release note say, this is to match system conventions on Linux. If you look at /usr/lib in any Linux system, you will find that no other library uses Boost-like decoration style. For most folks, there's just one compiler and one Boost and one variant.
How stable is this decision is likely to change, between now and the release.?
I expect the current naming scheme and the set of default build variants to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. - Volodya
