It looks like Boost.ASIO is based on some pre-release version of ASIO 
1.11.0, which has release notes here:

http://think-async.com/asio/asio-1.11.0/doc/asio/history.html#asio.history.asio_1_11_0

Unfortunately, it looks like some of the new features are not available 
in Boost.ASIO (e.g. I couldn't find address_cast<>). It looks like 
Christopher is the only one who knows what changes went into Boost, 
unless someone else follows the development closely.

I'm CCing Christopher in hope he will be able to provide some release 
notes for Boost.ASIO. For convenience, the release notes can be provided 
by creating a pull request for this file:

Thanks.
