I have successfully built the libraries on an M4 Macbook Pro running macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 using Homebrew Clang 20.1.1 and Homebrew GCC 14.2.0 with cxxstd=11,14,17,20,23,2c. Matt
Built for me using gcc-14 on Linux. Our release archives might wanna consider adding some CMake support too. I noticed that each library had its include/ directory ripped from it. - Christian

I have been able to successfully build the RC under Ubuntu 24.04, clang-19, cxxstd=23. Boost.Process issues a new warning, which may (or may not) pointing to a real issue: https://github.com/boostorg/process/issues/473 I have tried to build my servertech chat project (https://github.com/anarthal/servertech-chat) with the RC, and this has uncovered a bug in Boost.Redis: https://github.com/boostorg/redis/issues/238 I think that this bug has the potential to break a non-trivial amount of existing code. Regards, Ruben.

Marcelo, Ruben — After discussing this with the other release managers, we’re going to release 1.88 (today) w/o a fix for this bug. Glen has offered to prepare a patch to be put on the boost website, if you want. — Marshall
