As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the
candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both
success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.

Looks good on Windows/MSVC.

Note, this is being built with the Preview version of msvc-14.3 (Visual Studio 2022). The final version is due out on Monday, so I will be posting more results then with the final version. I will also be using that to build the msvc binaries for the beta.

msvc-14.3 32 X X X

Compile means that the b2 command completed without errors
Link means that visual studio was able to link a sample executable to a library (libboost_thread-vcXXX-mt[-gd]-1_XX.lib) generated
Execute means that the linked program executed without errors.
