Please add the following:

* [phrase library..[@/libs/any/ Any]:]
  * `boost::bad_any_cast` exception is now visible across modules [ticket
8751].
  * Added `clear()` member function.
  * Added missing `BOOST_NOEXCEPT`.

* [phrase library..[@/libs/circular_buffer/ Circular Buffer]:]
  * Added support for rvalue references and rvalue references emulation
using Boost.Move. Values are moved only if value type has noexcept move
constructor and noexcept move assignment operator [ticket 7888]. Now
Circular Buffer is usable with move-only types.
  * Much better documentation.

* [phrase library..[@/libs/conversion/lexical_cast.htm Lexical cast]:]
  * `std::bad_alloc` exceptions are now are not converted to
`boost::bad_lexical_cast` [ticket 8966].
  * Added static assert that checks for `std::numeric_limits`
specializations if they are required for conversion. Use `BOOST_HAS_INT128`
for detecting 128 bit integers support [ticket 8790].
  * Documentation improved and more usage examples added.

* [phrase library..[@/libs/filesystem/ Filesystem]:]
  * Fixed Android compilation [ticket 8706].

* [phrase library..[@/libs/timer/ Timer]:]
  * Fixed compilation on Intel compiler [ticket 8956].

* [phrase library..[@/libs/type_traits/ Type Traits]:]
  * Added `is_copy_contructible` trait [ticket 8802].

* [phrase library..[@/libs/variant/ Variant]:]
  * Fixed compilation of constructor and assignment operator with const
rvalues input parameters [ticket 8988].
  * Fixed compilation of move assignment operator for situations when one
of the variant template classes has nothrow copy constructor and throwing
move constructor [ticket 8772].
  * Fix compilation on exception-disabled environments [ticket 8717].
  * Fix unreachable code warnings [ticket 8665].
  * Removed duplicate code [ticket 7601].

P.S.:
* Docs for Circular Buffer were improved by Paul A. Bristow, he may also
add some notes later.
* Type Traits had some more changes, John Maddock is aware of that and
possibly will add some more comments.
