All releases of Boost.Build
Release Notes: Support for precompiled headers with gcc was added. To use a default-configured compiler, it's no longer necessary to edit a configuration file. The Pathscale, PGI, and mipspro compilers are now supported. Projects can now selectively ignore a parent project's requirements. Free features, like defines, on the command line now affect all targets.
Release Notes: Support was added for several new tools, including the Qt4 library. An "indirect requirement" feature was added. Several improvements were made in the "install" target. The --build-dir, --debug-building, and --clean-all command line options were added. Numerous bugs were fixed, and interface improvements were done.
Release Notes: Support for many new compilers was added. Documentation was improved. Many bugs were fixed. On Unix, static libraries are properly ordered. Improvements in the handling of conditional requirements, system libraries, and the <library> feature were made. A new <dependency> feature was added.
Release Notes: Performance was considerably improved. The syntax for linking a library into a library was simplified. The 'stage' rule can traverse dependencies of the targets it installs. Regression testing support now works on Windows. Some toolsets were improved. Bugs in project loading and suffix determination were fixed.
Release Notes: A regression testing framework was implemented. Handling of dependencies to generated headers was optimized. Algorithms for link-compatibility checking and selecting main target alternatives were improved.
Release Notes: Performance was improved and support for Sun and Darwin tool sets was added. A <tag> feature that changes the name of target depending of the build variant was implemented, and a new 'glob' rule allows you to easily perform wildcard matching in Jamfile. The bison and flex support was improved to understand C++, and a number of bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: A bug which blocked updating of certain targets was fixed. Bugs in prebuilt library handling, inline targets support, user-defined build variants, and conditional requirements were fixed. BoostBook support was improved. Detection of loops in main target references was added. A segfault upon use of the RMOLD builtin was fixed.
Release Notes: Complete support for include dependencies between generated sources has been implemented. GNU gettext support has been implemented. "inline" targets have been implemented. Autoconfiguration of msvc and borland toolsets has been improved. Documentation has been improved, and new examples have been added.
Release Notes: Support for STLport and resource compiler was implemented. Target id syntax was improved. A facility was added for declaring targets in all modules, including toolsets and the site-config module.
