Boost 1.76

Worked around GCC bug affecting GCC versions 9.3-10.2 (issue #20).

Boost 1.74

Fixed internal ambiguity problem between boost::type_erasure::any and boost::any (issue #17).
Maintenance work.

Boost 1.73

Suppressed a potential redundant move warning in boost::poly_collection::for_each.
Fixed a bug by which elements were copied rather than moved in allocator-extended move construction and move assigment between collections with non-propagating, unequal allocators.
Allocator-extended move construction no longer decays to allocator-extended copy construction for the legacy version of libstdc++-v3 shipped with GCC 4.8 (which can also be used by Clang).

Boost 1.72

Maintenance work.

Boost 1.71

Maintenance work.

Boost 1.70

Improved handling of stateful allocators and allocator propagation traits, after an error reported by Billy O'Neal (PR#9).
Fixed a potentially serious bug with an internal cache structure.

Boost 1.69

Added Boost.PolyCollection-specific versions of algorithms std::for_each_n and std::sample.

Boost 1.67

Maintenance fixes.

Boost 1.66

Boost.PolyCollection has been backported to GCC 4.8 to 4.9 and Clang 3.3 to 3.6. The version of libstdc++-v3 shipped with GCC 4.8 (which can also be used by Clang) has deficiencies that result in the following limitations when using Boost.PolyCollection:
- Stateful allocators are not properly supported.
- Allocator-extended move construction decays to allocator-extended copy construction.
- Copy construction crashes if an exception is thrown during element copying.
Maintenance fixes.

Boost 1.65

Initial release.
