I have successfully built the beta under clang-18, cxxstd=23, Ubuntu
22.04, as well as gcc-13, cxxstd=23, variant=release, Alpine Linux
3.20.3 (disabling Boost.Python because the system doesn't have the
relevant headers/libraries).

I have updated servertech-chat
(https://github.com/anarthal/servertech-chat), using Regex, System,
Asio, Beast, MySQL, Redis, JSON, URL, Variant2, Describe, MultiIndex
and Test. It builds and tests pass.

Regards,
Ruben.
