   * [ticket 8850] Fix MSVC warnings.
   * [ticket 8262] Rename `average` to `fdiv`.
 
+* [phrase library..[@/libs/asio/ Asio]:]
+  * Implemented a limited port to Windows Runtime. This support requires that the
+    language extensions be enabled. Due to the restricted facilities exposed by
+    the Windows Runtime API, the port also comes with the following caveats:
+    * The core facilities such as the `io_service`, `strand`, buffers, composed
+      operations, timers, etc., should all work as normal.
+    * For sockets, only client-side TCP is supported.
+    * Explicit binding of a client-side TCP socket is not supported.
+    * The `cancel()` function is not supported for sockets. Asynchronous
+      operations may only be cancelled by closing the socket.
+    * Operations that use `null_buffers` are not supported.
+    * Only `tcp::no_delay` and `socket_base::keep_alive` options are supported.
+    * Resolvers do not support service names, only numbers. I.e. you must
+      use "80" rather than "http".
+    * Most resolver query flags have no effect.
+  * Fixed a regression (introduced in Boost 1.54) where, on some platforms, errors
+    from `async_connect` were not correctly propagated through to the completion
+    handler ([ticket 8795]).
+  * Fixed a Windows-specific regression (introduced in Boost 1.54) that occurs when
+    multiple threads are running an `io_service`. When the bug occurs, the result
+    of an asynchronous operation (error and bytes tranferred) is incorrectly
+    discarded and zero values used instead. For TCP sockets this results in
+    spurious end-of-file notifications ([ticket 8933]).
+  * Fixed a bug in handler tracking, where it was not correctly printing out some
+    handler IDs ([ticket 8808]).
+  * Fixed the comparison used to test for successful synchronous accept
+    operations so that it works correctly with unsigned socket descriptors
+    ([ticket 8752]).
+  * Ensured the signal number is correctly passed to the completion handler when
+    starting an `async_wait` on a signal that is already raised ([ticket 8738]).
+  * Suppressed a g++ 4.8+ warning about unused typedefs ([ticket 8980]).
+  * Enabled the move optimisation for handlers that use the default invocation
+    hook ([ticket 8624]).
+  * Clarified that programs must not issue overlapping `async_write_at`
+    operations ([ticket 8669]).
+  * Changed the Windows `HANDLE` backend to treat `ERROR_MORE_DATA` as a
+    non-fatal error when returned by `GetOverlappedResult` for a synchronous
+    read ([ticket 8722]).
+  * Visual C++ language extensions use `generic` as a keyword. Added a
+    workaround that renames the namespace to `cpp_generic` when those language
+    extensions are in effect.
+  * Fixed some asynchronous operations that missed out on getting `async_result`
+    support in Boost 1.54. In particular, the buffered stream templates have been
+    updated so that they adhere to current handler patterns ([ticket 9000],
+    [ticket 9001]).
+  * Enabled move support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 ([ticket 8959]).
+  * Added `use_future` support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.
+  * Removed a use of `std::min` in the Windows IOCP backend to avoid a
+    dependency on the `<algorithm>` header ([ticket 8758]).
+  * Eliminated some unnecessary handler copies.
+  * Fixed various minor and cosmetic issues in code and documentation
+    (including [ticket 8347], [ticket 8950], [ticket 8953], [ticket 8965],
+    [ticket 8997]).
