Since 2013, I have been working on libraries that implement open multi-methods
in modern C++. After releasing the first one - YOMM11 - I asked on the Boost
mailing list if there was an interest in bringing YOMM11 into Boost. Back then
there was not much.
I made another attempt when I released the much improved YOMM2, but interest was
still feeble. Or maybe I did not explain what it was about well enough.
Anyway, I continued improving YOMM2 as a stand-alone project, and, in
retrospect, I now think that…

Boost.Bloom is a header-only C++ library for efficient probabilistic set membership testing.
It allows you to check whether an element might be in a set, with minimal memory overhead and no false negatives, ideal for high-throughput scenarios like caching, deduplication, and indexing.
The filter is highly space-efficient, and can dramatically reduce the cost of negative lookups in systems where accessing the full data set is expensive.

The C++ Alliance, one of the sponsors of the recent WG21 meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria, has brought some Boost posters and merchandise to the event. It's been a nice opportunity to share with the commitee members information on some of the newest Boost libraries and the launch of our new website. On the standardization front, the long-awaited inclusion of reflection in C++26 has been making the rounds across the community.
Try to guess who's who in the pictures below! Cheers!

The Boost C++ Libraries has thrived with the support of volunteer work and support for more than 25 years. That support includes the variety of assets Boost relies on to deliver high quality libraries. Things like website, email lists, testing machines, and library contributions. Recently disagreements about how those assets get managed arose between the C++ Alliance and the Boost Foundation. To resolve the situation the Boost community, and in agreement with the C++ Alliance and the Boost Foun…

The review of Zach Laine’s proposed Boost.Parser library begins today and will end on February 28th.
From the introduction page of the documentation:
Boost.Parser is a parser combinator library. That is, it consists of a set of low-level primitive parsers, and operations that can be used to combine those parsers into more complicated parsers.
There are primitive parsers that parse epsilon (the empty string), chars, ints, floats, etc.
There are operations which combine parsers to create new parsers.…

This high-performance library offers efficient string and numeric conversions, without exceptions. Thanks to Review Manager Christopher Kormanyos.
