[beast] Video Presentation: Designing an HTTP message container
by Vinnie Falco 05 Nov '17

05 Nov '17

Greetings! This is the video for my CppCon 2017 presentation. In this presentation I discuss designing a class for storing HTTP messages, defining some concepts along the way. The concepts are based on the ideas in Beast, but simplified for the presentation format. Anyone who is interested in learning some techniques, or getting a more advanced understanding of the Beast message container, may benefit from this video. Also, the video is entertaining on its own. Here it is: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsUnnYEKPnI> This page also contains the embedded video along with additional exposition not found in the talk: <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/design_choic…> Thanks!

Hi, does someone work on the boost-config for PGI? Running the unit-tests of boost.config fails but PGI 17.x should be C++11 compatible. Oliver

Hi, I've been doing a little work on getting the website to work better on mobile phones. You can see it on the beta site: https://beta.boost.org There's still a lot to do, especially on the sidebar which is not really usable at the moment, so don't expect it to go live any time soon. Daniel

[parameter] RFE: perfect forwarding
by Cromwell Enage 02 Nov '17

Hi, everyone! I'm back from a long hiatus. Is anyone still interested in enhancing Boost.Parameter to handle perfect forwarding? If so, I have a patched version available at <http:/ github.com/CromwellEnage/boost-parameter-perfect_forwarding>. It includes existing header files and test source files that were modified, a few new header files and test programs, and corresponding changes to the .rst documentation files. Questions, concerns, and comments are welcome! Cromwell D. Enage

The new library Boost poly_collection only has a 'master' branch. It needs to have a 'develop' branch also.
