Could you add a release-wide note: ---------8<----------- Boost no longer supports 80386 target CPU, the minimum x86 32 bit target is i486. 80386 target was not properly supported by [@http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/smart_ptr/smart_ptr.htm Boost.SmartPtr] and [@http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/atomic/ Boost.Atomic] (as well as the libraries that used them internally) even before this release. Some of Boost libraries may have higher requirements on the minimum target CPU (like [@http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/log/ Boost.Log] for example), see the respective library documentation for details. Also by default, when building Boost for x86 32 bit target it will compile for i686 (Pentium Pro) and later CPUs. This can be changed by specifying [^instruction-set] property in [^b2] or [^bjam] command line, for example: [pre b2 variant=release architecture=x86 instruction-set=i486 stage ] Possible values for the [^instruction-set] are: * Target for the host CPU: [^native] * Generic x86 CPUs: [^i486], [^i586], [^i686] * Intel CPUs: [^pentium], [^pentium-mmx], [^pentiumpro], [^pentium2], [^pentium3], [^pentium3m], [^pentium-m], [^pentium4], [^pentium4m], [^prescott], [^nocona], [^core2], [^corei7], [^corei7-avx], [^core-avx-i], [^conroe], [^conroe-xe], [^conroe-l], [^allendale], [^merom], [^merom-xe], [^kentsfield], [^kentsfield-xe], [^penryn], [^wolfdale], [^yorksfield], [^nehalem], [^sandy-bridge], [^ivy-bridge], [^haswell], [^atom] * AMD CPUs: [^k6], [^k6-2], [^k6-3], [^athlon], [^athlon-tbird], [^athlon-4], [^athlon-xp], [^athlon-mp], [^k8], [^opteron], [^athlon64], [^athlon-fx], [^k8-sse3], [^opteron-sse3], [^athlon64-sse3], [^amdfam10], [^barcelona], [^bdver1], [^bdver2], [^bdver3], [^btver1], [^btver2] * VIA CPUs: [^c3], [^c3-2] * IDT CPUs: [^winchip-c6], [^winchip2] Note that not all these values may be supported by a particular compiler. --------->8----------- I don't know of any way of obtaining this list of values through bjam command line. If there is one, it might be better to replace the list with this command line.

Math lib: * Major reorganization to incorporate other Boost.Math like Integer Utilities LCD, GCM, quaternions and octonions. Making new chapter headings. * Added many references to Boost.Multiprecision and `cpp_dec_float_50` as an example of a User-defined Type (UDT). * Added Clang to list of supported compilers. * Fixed constants to use a thread-safe cache of computed values when used at arbitrary precision. * Added finding zeros of Bessel functions `cyl_bessel_j_zero`, `cyl_neumann_zero`, `air_ai_zeros` and `air_bi_zeros`(by Christopher Kormanyos). * More accuracy improvements to the Bessel J and Y functions from Rocco Romeo. * Fixed nasty cyclic dependency bug that caused some headers to not compile [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7999 #7999]. * Fixed bug in __tgamma that caused spurious overflow for arguments between 142.5 and 143. * Fixed bug in raise_rounding_error that caused it to return an incorrect result when throwing an exception is turned off [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7905 #7905]. * Added minimal __float128 support. * Fixed bug in edge-cases of poisson quantile [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8308 #8308]. * Adjusted heuristics used in Halley iteration to cope with inverting the incomplete beta in tricky regions where the derivative is flatlining. Example is computing the quantile of the Fisher F distribution for probabilities smaller than machine epsilon. See ticket [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8314 #8314]. Multiprecision: * [*Breaking change] renamed `rational_adapter` to `rational_adaptor`. * Add support for [mpfi]. * Add logged_adaptor. * Add support for 128-bit floats via GCC's `__float128` or Intel's `_Quad` data types. * Add support for user-defined literals in cpp_int, improve `constexpr` support. * Fixed bug in integer division of `cpp_int` that results in incorrect sign of `cpp_int` when both arguments are small enough to fit in a `double_limb_type`. See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8126 8126]. * Fixed bug in subtraction of a single limb in `cpp_int` that results in incorrect value when the result should have a 0 in the last limb: [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8133 8133]. * Fixed bug in `cpp_int` where division of 0 by something doesn't get zero in the result: [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8160 8160]. * Fixed bug in some transcendental functions that caused incorrect return values when variables are reused, for example with `a = pow(a, b)`. See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8326 8326]. TypeTraits: Added new traits is_nothrow_move_assignable, is_nothrow_move_constructible, has_trivial_move_assign, has_trivial_move_constructor. Cheers, John.

Is there meant to be some markup for 'mpfi'?
Added new traits is_nothrow_move_assignable, is_nothrow_move_constructible, has_trivial_move_assign, has_trivial_move_constructor.
I've already had a note about that from someone else.

No. Correct text - including the typos Chris spotted: * Major reorganization to incorporate other Boost.Math like Integer Utilities LCD, GCM, quaternions and octonions.

Integer Utilities (Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple)
So the revised, take 3 version(!) is: * Major reorganization to incorporate other Boost.Math like Integer Utilities Integer Utilities (Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple), quaternions and octonions.

* Added finding zeros of Bessel functions `cyl_bessel_j_zero`,
`cyl_neumann_zero`, `air_ai_zeros` and `air_bi_zeros`(by Christopher Kormanyos).
Oh, thank you, John. May I offer a slight correction? The Airy functions are called: * airy_ai_zero * airy_bi_zero with a 'y' and the zero is singular. Thanks again. Sincerely, Chris.
