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.
-- The Release managers
I had four failures attempting to build on windows. However, they were atypical in that the build stalled out and would not continue, rather than producing an error.
The last items in the terminal before stalling out was something like:
D:\ReleaseBuild\bin.v2\boost\bin.v2\libs\wave\build\msvc-14.0\release\link-static\runtime-link-static\threadapi-win32\threading-multi\libboost_wave-variant-vc140-mt-s-x32-1_73-static.cmake 1 file(s) copied. common.copy D:\ReleaseBuild\boost_1_73_0\lib32-msvc-14.0\libboost_wave-vc140-mt-s-x32-1_73.lib

It seemed to be generally in wave, however one time it failed in log. This example shows the problem during msvc-14.0, but I believe I also saw it in 14.1 one of the times. I had experienced something similar during the beta build, and after succeeding I was unable to reproduce it on the same computer, somehow related to caching? Very weird, and I don't think we should release while this is ongoing.

Were these stalls in the tools (compiler, linker) or in the tests, or in your sample programs?
I initially thought this might be in the compiler, but upon further investigation I think it is a problem with b2.
When the hang happens, there are no cl.exe instances, just b2.
I also saw it happen in msvc-14.2, again in/after wave: common.copy D:\ReleaseBuild\boost_1_73_0\lib32-msvc-14.2\cmake\boost_test_exec_monitor-1.73.0\libboost_test_exec_monitor-variant-vc142-mt-s-x32-1_73-static.cmake

Running this command: b2 -j%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% --without-mpi --build-dir=D:\ReleaseBuild/bin.v2 --stage-libdir=lib32-msvc-14.2 --build-type=complete toolset=msvc-14.2 address-model=32 architecture=x86 stage
So I've tried hundreds of more runs with b2 -j%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% --without-mpi --build-dir=D:\ReleaseBuild/bin.v2 --stage-libdir=lib32-msvc-14.2 variant=release link=static runtime-link=stastic toolset=msvc-14.2 address-model=32 architecture=x86 stage And haven't been able to reproduce with just that. Maybe it is something with my build process? Maybe something with the new `--stage-libdir=` flag? Either way, I'm changing my mind and thinking this shouldn't hold up the release. Tom
