With some attention, Boost's image could be exciting and relevant to younger engineers. To enhance the libraries' social media presence, our digital artist creates a new illustration for every Boost release, with an instantly recognizable visual style that is unique to Boost. Here is the post for the 1.86.0 release: https://x.com/BoostLibraries/status/1823783597792485433 In the future we might consider including the link to the post in the release announcement instead of as a reply. Thanks

FWIW, the only "social network" I use to be updated about releases, beside this ML of course, is GitHub> Watch> Custom> Releases. I have dozens (if not hundreds) of such watches, and just added one for https://github.com/boostorg/boost, for good measure, despite getting the ML notices (and why I didn't have one before). Most such email release notices are not very informative, many with no specific information at all, some a short list, and some are awesome, like the Bun.sh ones, that systematically link to a blog post with a very detailed information. If wanting to improve Boost communication, then please have a good description of what's in the GitHub release, and/or a link to a blog post Bun-like with full details. My $0.02. --DD

The subscribers to the mailing list are already pretty well informed. The purpose of social media postings is to raise the visibility of the project for people who haven't become Boost users yet, or for those people who might have stopped using Boost a while ago and may want to consider returning as the project has undergone significant improvements.. Thanks
The subscribers to the mailing list are already pretty well informed.

To Dominique's point right now the release notes listed on Boost-1.86 here: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/releases are "Update asio from master". It would take little additional effort to replace the head commit message with the link to the release notes. The 300 watchers and nearly 7k people with stars who will see that a new release was published on their GitHub feed are not all here on the mailing list. Matt
