Please download the beta, give it a try, and report any problems you encounter.

Issues that were found during the beta release process and will be fixed for the final 1.74.0 release:

* The Boost.STLInterfaces documentation was left out of the beta.

* Some of the Boost.Geometry documentation files have very long names; this could cause problems on platforms (like Windows) with shorter limits on path lengths.

* There is a compile error in Boost.ASIO when compiling with 32-bit MSVC-14.2 with BOOST_BEAST_NO_TS_EXECUTORS.

Thanks,
