Boost website: boost.org The new version of boost.org went live in September! This is referred to in the codebase as “v3” while the name of the repository remains at https://github.com/boostorg/website-v2. If you encounter any problems please open an issue there. The new website was a collaboration between MetaLab and in-house staff developers. It completely redesigns the UI on all pages for a fresh colorful look, with many new features and improvements.

During Q3 2026, I’ve been working in the following areas: Unordered polymorphic collections The preexisting containers offered by Boost.PolyCollection (boost::base_collection, boost::function_collection, boost::any_collection, boost::variant_collection) do not provide full control over the global positioning of an element, for the simple reason that each element goes to its dedicated, type-specific segment. At the segment level, though, users can decide where an element is inserted much as ...
MrDocs models everything it extracts (namespaces, records, functions, types, doc comments, and so on) as a tree of C++ structs. Every one of those structs has to be compared, serialized, and exposed to Handlebars templates as a DOM object. Historically, each of those jobs meant another hand-written function or function template per type, and each new field meant touching all of them. Miss one and nothing breaks loudly; the field just quietly fails to appear in the output. Much of what follows...
Q1 was all about identifying Boost.Graph user community and implementing a community detection algorithm. Q2 has been focusing on making Boost.Graph a comfy place where our community can thrive by exorcising the old legacy shadows that a 30-year-old project inevitably summons. Where the Shadows Lie Over its 30 years of existence, Boost.Graph naturally accumulated technical debt and quite a few ghosts. Some of those are invisible to users, like an outdated C++ style, internal const-correctne...
