[1.56.0] Beta 1 Available
Boost release 1.56.0 beta 1 is now available from SourceForge See http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.56.0.beta.1/ This release contains 2 new libraries: * Align: Memory alignment functions, allocators, and adaptors, from Glen Fernandes. * Type_Index: Runtime/Compile time copyable type info, from Antony Polukhin. Modularization Boost version control has migrated to a system using git submodules. This shouldn't make too much of a difference to users, although the directory structure is now a bit different. Parts of some libraries have been moved into different modules, and several new modules have been extracted from existing code. All header paths should remain the same. The new modules are: * Assert: Customizable assert macros. Maintained by Peter Dimov. * Core: Core utilities used by other libraries, with minimal dependencies. Maintained by Peter Dimov, Glen Fernandes and Andrey Semashev. * Lexical_Cast: General literal text conversions, such as an int represented a string, or vice-versa, from Kevlin Henney. * Throw_Exception: A common infrastructure for throwing exceptions from Boost libraries, from Emil Dotchevski. * Winapi: Windows API declarations without <windows.h>, for internal Boost use. For details of what's in the release, see http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_56_0.html.

Please download the beta, give it a try, and report any problems you encounter. Thanks, -- The Boost Release Team

Is this from the same git revision as RC2?
I downloaded the .tar.bz2. It has exactly the same md5 hash as the RC2 .tar.bz2.
This is intended. RC2 was deemed good enough to publish it to a wider audience for further testing. - Volodya

Sorry, that wasn't a complaint, I was simply answering Marcel. Not only is it from the same git revision, it's the exact same tarball. That information was useful to me: having run my own tests on the RC2 tarball, it was unnecessary for me to rerun them on the official beta 1.

I'm experiencing problems cross-compiling Boost 1.56.0b1 (host Linux Mint 17 x86_64, target x86_64-w64-mingw32), and I think this is due to the build system not picking up my user-config.jam. In Boost 1.55.0, I placed my user-config.jam in <boost_root>/tools/build/v2, and it worked. In Boost 1.56.0b1 this directory no longer exists, so I tried placing my user-config.jam in <boost_root>/tools/build and in <boost_root>/tools/build/example where the example user-config.jam is located. Neither of these seem to work, i.e. the invoked compiler is the native compiler g++ and not the cross-compiler specified in user-config.jam. Has anybody successfully managed to cross-compile Boost 1.56.0b1 and/or successfully managed to place a working user-config.jam in the Boost 1.56.0b1 source tree? -- Rainer Deyke (rainerd@eldwood.com)

Try putting user-config.jam into tools/build/src and see if it finds it there. If not, you can run b2 —debug-configuration and it will output where it searches for user-config.jam (and other components). — Noel

Putting the user-config.jam in tools/build/src worked. Thanks! -- Rainer Deyke (rainerd@eldwood.com)
