Hello Marshall,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to mention a minor 1.85.0 issue, if
not apologies.

There is a deprecation of an error_code alias in boost::json that breaks
our builds.
The migration is doable for us, but perhaps worth mentioning as a change in
the
release notes.

https://github.com/boostorg/json/pull/980

Aside from that our builds and tests are looking fine with the 1.85.0 beta.
Thanks!

Best regards,

Nigel Stewartt
