I have been able to successfully build the RC under Ubuntu 24.04,
clang-19, cxxstd=23. Boost.Process issues a new warning, which may (or
may not) pointing to a real issue:
https://github.com/boostorg/process/issues/473

I have tried to build my servertech chat project
(https://github.com/anarthal/servertech-chat) with the RC, and this
has uncovered a bug in Boost.Redis:
https://github.com/boostorg/redis/issues/238
I think that this bug has the potential to break a non-trivial amount
of existing code.

Regards,
Ruben.
