Indeed - it is quite well hidden and Google struggles to find it without exactly the right question ☹

I have the develop version bookmarked 😊  and that meets my needs.

But I haven't found the equivalent for each Boost *release*.  Since this contains the most detailed test results for each release, should we be keeping a copy of the regression report for master at the time of each release.

Or have I not found these records yet?

I believe that we should point users to these tables in the context of cxxstd support.

PS I note that the current https://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/index.html

Contains a reference to SVN health, but we have been using Git for some time now.

Also the user summary link

https://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/user/index.html

is not working at present 

"Error extracting file: Error code 11 - No matching files were found."

This summary is probably a more useful link - but saving for each release would be good.

Should I raise a GitHub issue for this?
