I just came across this article on feature updates for their compiler during the VS2017 lifetime, I thought the section talking about version numbers might be of interest to the boost build maintainers and boost config maintainers.
The blog post can be found here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2017/11/15/msvc- conformance-improvements-in-visual-studio-2017-version-15-5/
+1 Other portions of that blog post will be of interest to any portable code developers holding off on use of certain C++17 features until all the major compilers support them. For example "We’ve also made significant progress on fixing older conformance issues including expression SFINAE fixes, constexpr completeness, and the majority of two-phase name lookup cases https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2017/09/11/two-phase-name-lookup-sup... ."
