New website and release notes
by Ruben Perez 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

Hi all, Now that we have the new website, has the procedure to submit release notes changed? This page: https://www.boost.org/doc/contributor-guide/release-notes.html lists the old procedure of using quickbook files, but if I remember correctly this was one of the things that were meant to change with the new website. Thanks, Ruben.

Reserved identifiers used for include guards
by Gennaro Prota 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

Hi, I found that many include guard macros in Boost contain "__HPP" (note the double underscore). It would be nice to reduce those underscores to one, because identifiers containing two consecutive underscores "are reserved to the implementation for any use" (C++ standard, [lex.name]). -- Gennaro Prota <https://prota.dev>
