I want to add to the other replies that Boost regression testing 
matrixes are available for both 'develop' and 'master' at 
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/summary.html and
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/summary.html 
respectively. Of course if you are using Travis and/or Appveyor you can 
pay attention to that also.
