I was able to find the parts I care about without too much trouble: * Documentation for individual libraries under Libraries. * Downloads under Downloads. * Instructions for building Boost under Learn -> Get Started with Boost -> From Source. * Calendar under View release calendar, farther down the front page. The calendar doesn't list upcoming reviews, only release-related activity. It's not clear if upcoming reviews are missing from the calendar or if there simply are no upcoming reviews. This is unfortunate but not a regression. Downloads still only include Boost-for-b2 source archives, not Boost-for-cmake. The cmake guide (https://www.boost.org/doc/user-guide/building-with-cmake.html) explains cmake in general terms, but not how to build Boost with cmake, which is the part I actually care about. The actual Boost-for-cmake archives are hidden on Github (https://github.com/boostorg/boost/releases/tag/boost-1.92.0). Again, unfortunate, but not a regression. (Why do I care about Boost-for-cmake? While I don't use cmake for my own projects, I do compile a lot of third-party libraries with cmake, so I have to know how to use cmake anyway. Compiling Boost with cmake means having to know one fewer build system.) In summary, while the new website has a lot of noise that I don't care about, I haven't noticed any actual regressions in functionality. From what I can see it's no worse than the previous website. -- Rainer Deyke - rainerd@eldwood.com
