:idprefix: recent_
== Boost 1.89.0
* Added the `hash_is_avalanching` trait class.
== Boost 1.84.0
* {cpp}03 is no longer supported.
== Boost 1.82.0
* Added an overload of `hash_value` for `std::nullptr_t`.
* Added `is_tuple_like` and an overload of `hash_value` for
tuple-like types.
* Changed string hashing to use
https://github.com/pdimov/mulxp_hash[`mulxp1_hash`],
improving both quality and speed. This changes the hash values
for string-like types (ranges of `char`, `signed char`,
`unsigned char`, `std::byte`, `char8_t`).
== Boost 1.81.0
Major update.
* The specializations of `boost::hash` have been removed; it now
always calls `hash_value`.
* Support for `BOOST_HASH_NO_EXTENSIONS` has been removed. The
extensions are always enabled.
* All standard containers are now supported. This includes
`std::forward_list` and the unordered associative containers.
* User-defined containers (types that have `begin()` and `end()`
member functions that return iterators) are now supported out
of the box.
* Described structs and classes (those annotated with
`BOOST_DESCRIBE_STRUCT` or `BOOST_DESCRIBE_CLASS`) are now
supported out of the box.
* `hash_combine` has been improved. This changes the hash values
of composite (container and tuple) types and of scalar types
bigger than `size_t`.
* The performance (and quality, as a result of the above change)
of string hashing has been improved. `boost::hash` for strings
now passes SMHasher in 64 bit mode.
* The documentation has been substantially revised to reflect
the changes.
== Boost 1.78.0
* Fixed `hash_combine` so that its behavior no longer depends
on whether `size_t` is the exact same type as `boost::uint64_t`
(which wasn't the case on macOS). This changes the hash values
of composite (container and tuple) types on macOS.
