Hi, This is a heads up. I spoke with Beman at CppCon about this: the upcoming release of Visual Studio (VS "15") has some changes to how _MSC_VER will be defined at every (future) update. These changes are already implemented in 'VS "15" Preview 5'. The full details are here https://blogs.msdn. microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/10/05/visual-c-compiler-version/ Internal testing showed that some components of Boost source code needed a few changes to use inequalities instead of equalities with _MSC_VER. Thanks, PS: The formal documentation of _MSVC_LANG is coming. -- Gaby

Thanks for the heads up. Feel free to create PRs for any of those changes needed in Boost libraries regarding _MSC_VER.
Thanks,

Ah, NM. The link got cut across lines. Pasting it back together I see the page.
