Some of you might know that I have been pushing hard to deliver Hana with the next Boost release. I have even taken the (soft) engagement to do so at CppCon in last September.
However, due to some time constraints, it is now clear that Hana will not be included in Boost 1.60.0, the limit for new libraries being yesterday. I hoped really hard to make it in time for Boost 1.60.0, but the closing of the release branch ~1 month before the release date got me by surprise.
Thanks for being understanding of the release process We'll (i.e. I) try to make the release schedule more prominent to curtail such surprises in the future.
No problem. I consider it my fault I missed the deadline.
As a side note, given my previous announcements, some users might find it strange not to see Hana as part of 1.60.0. Hence, I wonder whether it would be possible to include a short note with a link to this message somewhere in the release notes for 1.60.0?
Definitely.. Just submit a PR for the release notes < https://github.com/boostorg/website/blob/master/feed/history/boost_1_60_0.qbk>. Best place would be to add a section right before the "[section Compilers Tested]".
Thanks a lot! I just submitted a PR[1], but I feel kinda bad adding a whole section just for announcing the deferral of Hana's release. Let's discuss this on GitHub.
