It's worse than that - some libraries have varying use of C++03 up to C++20.

If you ask "Does Boost support C++ ?? " then you are asking the wrong question.

Boost does not have a concept of "support".

Studying the individual library documentation and the continuously updated Boost test matrix will
give you some clues.

The only way to be absolutely sure is to try to compile with the C++ std version you hope for.
