C++20 modules for Boost were evaluated, revealing limited compiler support and high integration effort, causing the community to delay adoption. A Boost.Asio coroutine talk was presented, and Boost.MySQL added range formatting and pipeline request support.

    During Q2 2024, work focused on the Boost.io website: onboarding to the repo, improving navigation and redirects, adding uv to speed CI builds, enhancing documentation handling, and deepening Django/web development skills for future updates.
  • Powering Cognitive Communications Engine for NASA with Boost
    News #Serialization
    Boost libraries were employed to provide permissive‑licensed, reliable networking and serialization for a C++11 reinforcement‑learning cognitive engine that autonomously optimizes ISS radio communications. Boost.Asio was used to handle concurrent UDP/Ethernet I/O, and Boost.Serialization was used to enable state persistence across orbital passes, facilitating successful on‑orbit testing.
  • A postgres library for Boost
    Link #Asio
    A Boost-native PostgreSQL library, NativePG, is being developed to provide low‑level message serialization, type parsing, pipelined request composition, flexible response handlers, Asio‑based connections, auto‑batching, connection pooling, and safe SQL formatting, extending beyond libPQ.
  • Ready, set, Redis!
    Link #Redis
    Boost.Redis is co‑maintained with an FSM redesign that improves testability, provides UNIX‑socket support, logging and updated docs. Boost.MySQL auth is enhanced, Boost.Postgres is started, OpenMethod and Bloom are reviewed, and test framework is extended.
