5.5.0
0447761

This release has a bunch of internal cleanups and bug fixes. But it also has a handful of new features. There's initial support for the Fil-C compiler, the version attribute for features to manage versioning of targets, and additional support for JSON data.

For this release we are also providing pre-built Linux and macOS portable packages. Download, unpack, add the directory to your path, and execute b2 to use. There are binaries that will work on most Linux and macOS versions for both x86_64 and arm64 (Apple Silicon).

Special thanks to Paolo Pastori for the many fixes and cleanups in this release.
