  • Boost.Http.Proto Project Highlights
    Link #Beast
    Recent Boost.Http.Proto work includes a chained_sequence abstraction that merges split buffers for chunked parsing, optional gzip/deflate support via a Zlib interface, and a coroutine client handling Accept‑Encoding, redirects and streaming. Boost.Beast updates add trailer field parsing, error‑code overloads, removal of a skip variable for faster CRLF handling, and forward‑declared headers.
  • Hub is here
    Link #Bloom
    During Q2 2026 Boost work is summarized: boost::container::hub accepted for Boost 1.92; Boost.Unordered added C++20 range support; Boost.MultiIndex got iterator pointers; Boost.ICL fixed for libc++ v22; Boost.Bloom, Boost.Graph and activities noted.
  • MrDocs Bootstrap: One Script to Build Them All
    Link
    Complex C++ dependency management is explained with version conflicts, ABI issues, and platform toolchain differences. Limitations of package managers are described, and a bootstrap script is presented that automates builds, configuration, and IDE setup across platforms, supporting sanitizers.
  • Speed and Safety
    Link #Decimal
    CUDA support is added to Boost int128 for host and device use. Device from_chars/to_chars are provided by Boost.Charconv, and Boost.Decimal will gain CUDA later. Verification is used by Boost.Safe_Numbers for safety and error check with CUDA reporting.
