[1.55.0] Release Notes
Hello, If you haven't already, can you write your release notes for 1.55? You can send them to me, or add them yourself at: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/live/feed/history/ They're on the website at: http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_55_0.html thanks, Daniel

Please add the following: * [phrase library..[@/libs/any/ Any]:] * `boost::bad_any_cast` exception is now visible across modules [ticket 8751]. * Added `clear()` member function. * Added missing `BOOST_NOEXCEPT`. * [phrase library..[@/libs/circular_buffer/ Circular Buffer]:] * Added support for rvalue references and rvalue references emulation using Boost.Move. Values are moved only if value type has noexcept move constructor and noexcept move assignment operator [ticket 7888]. Now Circular Buffer is usable with move-only types. * Much better documentation. * [phrase library..[@/libs/conversion/lexical_cast.htm Lexical cast]:] * `std::bad_alloc` exceptions are now are not converted to `boost::bad_lexical_cast` [ticket 8966]. * Added static assert that checks for `std::numeric_limits` specializations if they are required for conversion. Use `BOOST_HAS_INT128` for detecting 128 bit integers support [ticket 8790]. * Documentation improved and more usage examples added. * [phrase library..[@/libs/filesystem/ Filesystem]:] * Fixed Android compilation [ticket 8706]. * [phrase library..[@/libs/timer/ Timer]:] * Fixed compilation on Intel compiler [ticket 8956]. * [phrase library..[@/libs/type_traits/ Type Traits]:] * Added `is_copy_contructible` trait [ticket 8802]. * [phrase library..[@/libs/variant/ Variant]:] * Fixed compilation of constructor and assignment operator with const rvalues input parameters [ticket 8988]. * Fixed compilation of move assignment operator for situations when one of the variant template classes has nothrow copy constructor and throwing move constructor [ticket 8772]. * Fix compilation on exception-disabled environments [ticket 8717]. * Fix unreachable code warnings [ticket 8665]. * Removed duplicate code [ticket 7601]. P.S.: * Docs for Circular Buffer were improved by Paul A. Bristow, he may also add some notes later. * Type Traits had some more changes, John Maddock is aware of that and possibly will add some more comments. -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

Math lib: * Suppress numerous warnings (mostly from GCC-4.8 and MSVC) [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8384 #8384], [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8855 #8855], [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9107 #9107], [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9109 #9109].. * Fixed PGI compilation issue [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8333 #8333]. * Fixed PGI constant value initialization issue that caused erf to generate incorrect results [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8621 #8621]. * Prevent macro expansion of some C99 macros that are also C++ functions [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8732 #8732] and [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8733 #8733].. * Fixed Student's T distribution to behave correctly with huge degrees of freedom (larger than the largest representable integer) [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8837 #8837]. * Make some core functions usable with `long double` even when the platform has no standard library `long double` support [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8940 #8940]. * Fix error handling of distributions to catch invalid scale and location parameters when the random variable is infinite [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9042 #9042] and [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9126 #9126]. * Add workaround for broken <tuple> in Intel C++ 14 [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9087 #9087]. * Improve consistency of argument reduction in the elliptic integrals [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9104 #9104]. * Fix bug in inverse incomplete beta that results in cancellation errors when the beta function is really an arcsine or Student's T distribution. * Fix issue in Bessel I and K function continued fractions that causes spurious over/underflow. Multiprecision: * Added support for Boost.Serialization. * Suppressed some GCC warnings. See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8872 8872]. * Fixed bug in pow for large integer arguments. See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8809 8809]. * Fixed bug in pow for calculation of 0[super N]. See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8798 8798]. * Fixed bug in fixed precision cpp_int IO code that causes conversion to string to fail when the bit count is very small (less than CHAR_BIT). See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8745 8745]. * Fixed bug in cpp_int that causes left shift to fail when a fixed precision type would overflow. See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8741 8741]. * Fixed some cosmetic warnings from cpp_int. See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8748 8748]. * Fixed calls to functions which are required to be macros in C99. See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8732 8732]. * Fixed bug that causes construction from INT_MIN, LONG_MIN etc to fail in cpp_int. See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8711 8711]. Thanks! John.
I've added John and Antony's release notes, and also rebuilt them so they should include everything that was added in subversion now.

I'd just run 'svn log' in the release branch and search for their username. The last release was based on revision 84902, I got that from: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/log/tags/release/Boost_1_54_0/

Thanks, I've added them. There were already some notes for Circular Buffer so I just added yours to the end. I also changed the bold text to italic, because I prefer it that way (bold text was displayed as italics in older release notes because of a bug, but when I fixed it, I thought it made it look worse, so I changed everything back to italics). Also, release notes have been rebuilt to include other changes made in subversion.

Hi Daniel, I comitted my notes on Boost.MultiIndex some time ago, but looking now at the HTML rendition I've noticed a formatting glitch which my shallow knowledge of Quickbook does not allow me to fix: The statement "Refer to the compiler specifics section for limitations on pre-C++11 compilers" appears as if belonging to the same bullet as "Random access indices provide shrink_to_fit()", when the intention was that it should appear at a subsequent line with one level of indentation less. That is, the way it looks like at: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/release/libs/multi_index/doc/release... This is absolute nitpicking, but I'd appreciate it if you could fix it. Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica Digital

It's too late for the beta (unless Marshall does another release candidate) but I don't see any reason not to make a simple documentation change, so go ahead.
