Robin,

we were (and still are) waiting for Boost to officially support MSVC
2017; if that doesn't happen any time soon we'll have to look into ways
of testing this ourselves. However, I have heard of people using 2017
successfully.

No plans, but you're probably the first to ask for it :) If there is
more interest, we might consider pulling it into our CI setup.

Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the update, we have done the same for similar reasons...

A couple of quick followups:

Are you considering supporting MSVC 2017 "soon"?

Do you guys ever consider officially supporting the intel compiler?

Thanks,
