Status of the 1.83.0 release
by Marshall Clow 08 Aug '23

08 Aug '23

On Thursday, we created 1.83.0 RC1. There have been two problems reported against it. * A couple of missing “include” statements in Unordered * A regression against 1.82.0 (code that used to compile no longer does) in Stl_interfaces. https://github.com/boostorg/stl_interfaces/issues/62 Zach has opined to me that this failure in stl_interfaces is deliberate; so we will not be addressing that. We will be producing an RC2 later today/early tomorrow with the fix for Unordered. This means that the release will probably NOT happen on Wednesday, 9-Aug. Hopefully Thursday. — The release managers.

[boost.async] Seeking Endorsement
by Klemens Morgenstern 28 Jul '23

28 Jul '23

Dear fellow Boost developers, I am seeking endorsement for my C++20 async coroutine library boost.async. It provides coroutine primitives & utilities that are easy to use and intuitive, to anyone who has seen python's asyncio or javascripts async/await APIs before. It simplifies using asio and increases compile times significantly by encouraging the usage of translations units. The features include: - coroutine types (eager, lazy, generators) - built-in cancellation - synchronization of multiple coroutines (select, gather, join) - channels - with (an async scope akin to python's with expression) - asio integration, i.e. completion tokens I think this kind of library is much needed in boost and the wider C++ community. code: https://github.com/klemens-morgenstern/async docs: https://klemens.dev/async/
