Boost test matrix
by Robert Ramey 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

I've merged my develop branch into the the master, waited some time, and reviewed the test results here: https://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/serialization.html . Given that we intend to release soon, I have a few questions: a) I don't see any windows compilers here. WTF? b) If I switch to "Release View" (upper left hand corner) I expect to see test runs for the master branch. I just get an error message. I can't see how we can think of doing a release with having these issues resolved. Robert Ramey

Boost Security Disclosure
by Feuer, Mark 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Is there a written security disclosure policy for Boost? As an example, is there a boost document that says all security vulnerabilities will be reported to NIST? If so, can someone point me to the disclosure form? I've seen in some documentation references to CVEs. Does this mean all security vulnerabilities are required to be submitted to NIST?
