Hello everyone,
Attached is our first C++ Alliance newsletter. There's a lot happening at the Alliance, and we want to keep the Boost community in the loop. A few highlights:
- We're investing in Clang's future - We're rethinking C++ networking from the ground up - And we're bringing something special to CppCon 2026
Take a look!
Very nice work. Since the newsletter mentions upcoming 1.91 things, let me add that for Boost 1.91, Boost.UUID has obtained SIMD implementations of its from_chars and to_chars functions, written by Andrey Semashev, that improve performance substantially (up to 13 times) compared to the scalar versions. So if you like converting UUIDs from/to their string representations in tight loops, this would be the Boost release for you. :-)

What an odd coincidence, I was just thinking this is something I could use. On a related note, perhaps this would serve the community better if it was the "Boost newsletter" and Alliance things could be relegated to the end? Thanks
