Known Issues
These are patches from library authors which were found too late to be fixed
in the release. Be careful as they have not been through the normal testing
process.
Combined patch for fixes to issues: boost_1_65_0.patch.
Use patch -p1 < boost_1_65_0.patch from the root of the boost repo to
apply. Or you can apply the patches individually below.

Context and Fiber don't return continuations when they should:
-
Thread: Bug in
boost::condition_variable on Windows:
New Libraries
- PolyCollection:
-
Fast
containers of polymorphic objects, from Joaquín M López Muñoz.

Changed to require g++ versions >= 4.7 to use
standard atomics, to fix a linker error when using g++
4.6 (#13121).

and variadic templates with recent MSVC versions.
-
Fixed a race condition in the Linux epoll backend, which may occur

an interior ring touches another interior ring
-
Fix is_valid which could return false for multipolygons where
a polygon was located in an interior ring, all touching each
other
-
Fix union which could produce invalid results (for some cases,
this needs to define BOOST_GEOMETRY_INCLUDE_SELF_TURNS)
-
Fix intersection (idem), but some cases are still not yet valid
-
Fix difference (idem), but some cases are still not yet valid
-
Fix propagation of area strategy into the internals of various

char32_t, u16string, u32string.
-
Log:
-
General changes:
-
Improved compatibility with Solaris.
-
See changelog
for more details.
-
Phoenix:
-
Corrected some documentation. (PR#50)
-
phoenix::erase with associative container
returns iterator in C++11 mode. (#7423)
-
std::set and std::multiset
should be worked with predefined lazy functions. (PR#52)
-
Disable
phoenix::random_shuffle in C++17. (PR#53)
-
Don't forward declare, include instead. (#11875)
-
Predef:
-
Fix Intel C/C++ version 9999 detection to be 12.1.0.
-
Addition of
BOOST_PREDEF_WORKAROUND
and BOOST_PREDEF_TESTED_AT
macros for defect workarounds and detection.
-
Add ARM64 MSVC SIMD detection. (from Minmin Gong)
-
Add detection of iOS simulator vs device as a platform choice. (from
Ruslan Baratov)
-
Fix MinGW incorrect header guard. (from Ruslan Baratov)
-
Program Options:
-
Support for storing values into
boost::optional,
thanks to Ed Catmur (#7495,
PR#18)
-
Parsing of implicit options can now use the value from the next token.
Since 1.59, unless the value of implicit option was specified in
the same token as the option itself, the implicit value was used.
That proved inconvenient, and now we again check the next token and
use it as value if it's not an option itself. (#25)
-
Python:
-
eval(),
exec(),
and exec_statement() now allow char
const *
arguments, in addition to boost::python::str.
-
The
boost::python::numeric API has been removed, as
it is being obsoleted by boost::python::numpy.
-
Fix some build issues when using Python3 with MSVC.
-
Smart Pointers:
-
New class template
atomic_shared_ptr,
that provides thread-safe atomic pointer operations over shared_ptr. (Peter Dimov)
-
New class template
local_shared_ptr,
where the reference count is updated with non-atomic operations.
(Peter Dimov)
-
More optimizations in
allocate_shared
and make_shared for
arrays. (Glen Fernandes)
-
Documentation has been completely rewritten in Asciidoc format.
-
Test:
-
Boost.test v3.6 see the Change
log section for more details.
-
New feature:
-
C++17 compatibility (tested on VS2017), thanks to Daniela
Engert
-
Direct comparison of C-arrays in
BOOST_TEST
-
Better global fixtures mechanism, and spitting of responsibilities
with
BOOST_TEST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE
for global fixtures and BOOST_TEST_GLOBAL_CONFIGURATION
for global initialization (compile time configuration).
-
Improved support for fixtures (
setup
/ teardown
member function) which enables better teardown time checks
-
Breaking changes
-
Some API changes for the loggers
-
Deprecating
BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE
in favor of BOOST_TEST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE
and BOOST_TEST_GLOBAL_CONFIGURATION
(see above)
-
Bug fixes

Typeof:
-
Unordered:
-
Use the same data structure for
unordered_set
and unordered_multiset,
and forunordered_map
and unordered_multimap.
This is required for C++17, so that nodes can be merged and extracted
between compatible containers.
-
Add deprecated attributes to long deprecated functions.

Improved use of
allocator_traits
construct and destroy on C++11 compilers, using
piecewise pair construction when appropriate.
-
Fewer workarounds on newer Oracle compilers.
-
Avoid dereferencing pointers to uninitialized memory (PR
#5).
-

Improved compatibility of
boost::next/boost::prior with SFINAE-unfriendly iterators.
#10847, #13002.
-
Variant:
-
r-value overload for
boost::get
was added by Albert Sverdlov #13018.

Missing include fro
<boost/variant/polymorphic_get.hpp>

Maksimov for the fix) #8554, #10041, PR#35.
