This is mostly a bugfix release, but there is also now support for building with the new LoongArch architecture. This release also sees the movement of the b2 engine to using more C++ features to help in reducing memory leaks and cleaner exit semantics.

  • New: Add support for LoongArch.
    -- Zhang Na
  • Change engine build to use static Intel libs if available instead of C++
    runtime static libs to fix systems where the static C++ runtime is not
    available.
    -- Alain Miniussi
  • Reorder msvc cflags and cxxflags, and add compileflags, to fix inability
    to override flags by users.
    -- Peter Dimov
  • Don't quote RPATH on clang-linux to fix use of double-quotes to make it
    possible to use $ORIGIN.
    -- Dimitry Andric
  • Fix b2 executable detection on kFreeBSD.
    -- Laurent Bigonville
  • Add .ipp extension to header scanning and a valid C++ file.
    -- Jim King
  • Fix missing install targets when build=no is in source target usage
    requirements.
    -- Dmitry Arkhipov
  • Add some future versions of C++ to cxxstd feature.
    -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell
  • Fix many memory leaks in engine.
    -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell
  • Change abort/exit calls to clean exception handling to allow for memory
    cleanup in engine.
    -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell
