Do you know Boost.MySQL? If you’ve been reading my posts, you probably do. Many people have wondered ‘why not Postgres?’. Well, the time is now. TL;DR: I’m writing the equivalent of Boost.MySQL, but for PostgreSQL. You can find the code here. Since libPQ is already a good library, the NativePG project intends to be more ambitious than Boost.MySQL. In addition to the expected Asio interface, I intend to provide a sans-io API that exposes primitives like message serialization. Throughout this...

Doc Previews and Doc Builds The pull request to isomorphic-git “Support git commands run in submodules” was merged, and released in the latest version. (See previous post for an explanation). The commit modified 153 files, all the git api commands, and tests applying to each one. The next step is for upstream Antora to adjust package.json and refer to the newer isomorphic-git so it will be distributed along with Antora. Since isomorphic-git is more widely used than just Antora, their userbas...

During Q4 2025, I’ve been working in the following areas: Boost.Bloom Written an article explaining the usage and implementation of the recently introduced bulk operations. Boost.Unordered Written maintenance fixes PR#320, PR#321, PR#326, PR#327, PR#328, PR#335. Boost.MultiIndex Refactored the library to use Boost.Mp11 instead of Boost.MPL (PR#87), remove pre-C++11 variadic argument emulation (PR#88) and remove all sorts of pre-C++11 polyfills (PR#90). These changes are expla...

After two reviews the Decimal (https://github.com/cppalliance/decimal) library has been accepted into Boost. Look for it to ship for the first time with Boost 1.91 in the Spring. For current and prospective users, a new release series (v6) is available on the releases page of the library. This major version change contains all of the bug fixes and addresses comments from the second review. We have once again overhauled the documentation based on the review to include a significant increase in...

In 2024, the MrDocs project was a fragile prototype. It documented Boost.URL, but the CLI, configuration, and build process were unstable. Most users could not run it without direct help from the core group. That unstable baseline is the starting point for this report. In 2025, we moved the codebase to minimum-viable-product shape. I led the releases that stabilized the pipeline, aligned the configuration model, and documented the work in this report to support a smooth leadership transition...
