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.

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.

The official release of msvc-14.2 (Visual Studio 2022) is out now. I've been able to build and test with that, no issues.

I've got the binaries from this RC staged and ready to go.
