There are many invidual fixes in this release. Many thanks for the contributions. Special thanks to Nikita for the many improvements to msvc and general plugging of support holes in all the compilers.

There are some notable new features from Dmitry, Edward, and Nkita:

  • New: Add force-include feature to include headers before all sources.
    -- Nikita Kniazev
  • New: Partial support for Embarcadero C++ compilers based on clang-5.
    -- Edward Diener
  • New: Implement configurable installation prefixes that use features.
    -- Dmitry Arkhipov
  • New: Add translate-path feature. The translate-path feature allows for custom path handling, with a provided rule, on a per target basis. This can be used to support custom path syntax.
    -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell
  • New: Add portable B2 system install option. This allows the b2 executable and the build system files to live side by side. And hence to be (re)located anywhere on disk. Soon to be used to supports Windows and other installers. This removes the need for the boost-build.jam file for bootstrap. Making it easier for users to get started.

  • Unbreak building from VS Preview command prompt.
    -- Marcel Raad
