    v14 v19

     1Boost 1.70.0 is out as of 20190412.

     3Prior Description, which is all likely still relevant:

     5Boost 1.69.0 is out as of 120181212.

    37Because the Portfile currently uses "--layout=tagged", the resulting libraries names change from the Boost 1.68.0 to include an abbreviated architecture (e.g., "x64" for Intel 64-bit; "p32" for PPC 32-bit); thus for example, the prior naming might be "libboost_system-mt.dylib", while the new naming is "libbboost_system-mt-x64.dylib". This slight change combined with a defect in how CMake works with Clang results in the FindBoost.cmake script failing to detect the new library names with significant coercion.

    913Verifying that "enough" of these ports build and function properly "enough" is an arduous task. We in MacPorts have yet to determine a reasonable approach to updating Boost, so the version provided in MacPorts regularly lags the latest release. Please be patient.
