Boost.Bloom ready for shipping in Boost 1.89
During Q2 2025, I’ve been working in the following areas:
Boost.Bloom
The acceptance review for Boost.Bloom took place between the 13th and 22nd of May, and the final verdict was acceptance into Boost. Arnauld Becheler did an awesome job at managing the review, which was one of the most lively and productive I remember in recent years. Incorporating the feedback from the review took me the last five weeks of this quarter, but everything’s ready for shipping with Boost 1.89 (Aug 2025):
Boost.ContainerHash
Added boost::hash_is_avalanching trait (PR#40). This trait was originally in Boost.Unordered, but it makes sense that it be moved here because Boost.Bloom also uses it.
Boost.Unordered
Boost.MultiIndex
Boost.Flyweight
CI maintenance work (PR#21).
Boost.PolyCollection
CI maintenance work (PR#31).
Boost.Interprocess
