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.
I have successfully built the beta under clang-18, cxxstd=23, Ubuntu 22.04, as well as gcc-13, cxxstd=23, variant=release, Alpine Linux 3.20.3 (disabling Boost.Python because the system doesn't have the relevant headers/libraries). I have updated servertech-chat (https://github.com/anarthal/servertech-chat), using Regex, System, Asio, Beast, MySQL, Redis, JSON, URL, Variant2, Describe, MultiIndex and Test. It builds and tests pass. Regards, Ruben.
