An initial implementation of "nodocs" archives is also online: https://archives.boost.io/beta/1.90.0.beta1/source-nodocs/ These files are more than 50% smaller, and ideal for CI jobs or frequent downloads. The nodocs versions are created by removing doc/ folders from all libraries. Since these are very new, to be safe, consider them "alpha" or "beta" level quality, and please report back any problems.

Is the master branch open for bug fixes?
In this phase (pre-release) is there a way to find the release notes online? I didn't find a way until now. Other releases include the release notes on the release page itself. (Compare https://www.boost.org/releases/latest/ to https://www.boost.org/releases/1.90.0.beta1/) Thanks, Seth On Thu, Nov 13, 2025, at 6:25 AM, Marshall Clow via Boost wrote:

Also just noticed that a good 7 different windows downloads are listed under "Unix". Also, it's totally unspecified whether they are binary releases (logically, they likely are), vs. source tar-balls. Perhaps the table can be fixed and extended with e.g. download size.

I have successfully built the beta under gcc-13, Release, without an explicit cxxstd argument under Ubuntu 24.04. Python, Histogram and Serialization issue warnings. None of them seem to point to real problems. I have plugged the beta into my Servertech project, which exercises several libraries. All tests pass. https://github.com/anarthal/servertech-chat/pull/75 Ruben.
