And to quote: In this release, we've updated the C++ compiler and standard library with enhanced support for C++11 and C++14 features, as well as preliminary support for certain features expected to be in the C++17 standard. The most notable compiler changes include complete support for generalized constexpr.
Maybe next time.... Best, Dan.
So, from reading the release notes and the compiler support at [1], I think Visual Studio 15 Preview 5 should support Hana, right? I'll check whether I can try running the tests with this release on Appveyor. Thanks for the heads up.

A little birdy at CppCon told me that Hana is in the Visual C++ test suite and as soon as the Ranges TS works in MSVC without source workarounds, Hana is next on the list. I got the distinct impression that VS15 won't have that, but a later update to iy will.

Not quite, unfortunately. At least this bug also affects hana: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/2159140/ -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Microsoft-and-hana-tp4689376p4689411.html Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Best, Dan.
Variable templates have been supported for a while. I know I have been using them in the compiler source code itself for a long time now. If you find a bug with respect to variable template support, please do let the VC++ team know about it.
