@selsta Should we update the minimum Boost required? The Boost release notes list new libraries with each release. We currently list 1.58 as minimum. Bumping the minimum required allows us to use some newer libraries.

The most interesting libraries are: Boost.Hana (1.61), Boost.Fiber ("green" threads)(1.62), Stacktrace (1.65), Beast (http parsing)(1.66), Boost.Mp11 (1.66), Boost.Outcome (1.70), Boost.Json (1.75), and Boost.Url (1.81).

The Boost versions:

  • Ubuntu 20.04 : 1.71 (EOL April 2025)
  • Debian 10: 1.67 (EOL June 30 2024)
  • Fedora 39: 1.81 (EOL Dec 7 2024)
  • Void: 1.83?
  • Arch: 1.83
  • Gentoo: 1.82

I would recommend Boost 1.66 based on this list (does not include Centos, which is not listed in current documentation).

I think quite a few people still use Ubuntu 18.04 which seems to have boost 1.65, so I'd prefer nothing newer if possible.

Looks fine. I believe the failing tests are unrelated.
