[release] 1.64.0 Decision on VS2017 version number?
(B) The community decides what version number we should be using and the appropriate PRs are filed and applied and tested for all the repos involved. Which means: 1. The community has until 12:00 CDT US March 18 to decide on what the vc version number and tag should be.
It's now past that time.. Is there consensus on what version number Boost should use for identifying the VS2017 toolset? If there is.. People need to start submitting PRs for the changes ASAP..
2. The community must post PRs for the places where we reference VS2017 version numbers to the new number. Those are at least: https://github.com/boostorg/config https://github.com/boostorg/build https://github.com/boostorg/boost https://github.com/boostorg/website People have until 17:00 CDT Monday March 20 to submit those PRs.

Who maintains / is 'in charge' of those bits / the MS related stuff? If nobody is 'responsible' everyone will probably think someone else will handle it. -- Olaf

This reminds me of a question I had: # Known toolset versions, in order of preference. .known-versions = 14.0 12.0 11.0 10.0 10.0express 9.0 9.0express 8.0 8.0express 7.1 7.1toolkit 7.0 6.0 14.1 ; We put 14.1 last; is this what we want in the release, or was this a temporary measure until the issues with 14.1 are sorted out, as they appear now to have been? Because traditionally, we place the newest version first; and on a VS 2017 installation with both 141 and 140 toolsets, the above will (as far as I can see) pick and build with 14.0 if no toolset is given, which may be surprising.

The latter. Because traditionally, we place the newest version first; and on a VS 2017
installation with both 141 and 140 toolsets, the above will (as far as I can see) pick and build with 14.0 if no toolset is given, which may be surprising.
And it was because of that reason that I put it last :-) Didn't want it picked as the default if it wasn't ready. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
