A crashing defect in Beast was discovered shortly after release: https://github.com/boostorg/beast/issues/1599 It happens under high load when things happen at just the right time (or wrong time depending on how you look at it). It *will* eventually happen to any long-lived connection that sees enough traffic and timeouts. The fix is trivial: https://github.com/vinniefalco/beast/commit/8620439f8e38db62713cff55a428bf8b... Thanks to the detailed report we were able to write a unit test which reproduces it reliably. Is this worth putting up a 1.70.1 for? The timeout feature is new in 1.70 and it is rather a shame that people might not be able to use it because of a defect. Regards
