  * Define the preprocessor macro `BOOST_ASIO_ENABLE_HANDLER_TRACKING` to enable Asio handler
    tracking in Boost.Beast asynchronous operations. Please see
    [@boost:/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/core/handler_tracking.html asio handler tracking]
    for details.
* Add Bishop-Fox 2020 Security Assessment.

[heading Boost 1.74]

[*API Changes]

* The API to Asio has undergone changes. Please refer to the Asio release notes for details.

* Beast has been updated to track and respect developer choices in the use of Asio. In particular:
 * Define `BOOST_ASIO_NO_DEPRECATED` to disallow deprecated invocation and allocation hooks.
 * Define `BOOST_ASIO_NO_TS_EXECUTORS` to ensure that executors conform to the
   [@http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p0443r11.html Standard Executors] proposal.
 * Define `BOOST_ASIO_USE_TS_EXECUTOR_AS_DEFAULT` to select
   [@https://cplusplus.github.io/networking-ts/draft.pdf Networking TS] style executors by default.
   If this macro is not defined, Asio default executors will be the
   [@http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p0443r11.html Standard Executors] implementation.

* [issue 1897] Parser `body_limit` is optional (API Change)
  ['Actions Required]
  * The signature of `basic_parser<>::body_limit(n)` has changed. It now accepts an
    optional `std::uint64_t`. The caller may indicate that no body limit is required
    by calling `body_limit(boost::none)`. The default limits remain in place in order
    to maintain 'safe by default' behaviour.

* [issue 1934] Remove deprecated interfaces (API Change)
  ['Actions Required]
  * The macro `BOOST_BEAST_NO_DEPRECATED` will no longer be noticed by Beast. The only way to
    enable deprecated functionality is now the macro `BOOST_BEAST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED` which is
    undefined by default. That is, all deprecated behaviour is disabled by default.
  * The following deprecated functions have been removed:
    * `websocket::async_accept_ex`
    * `websocket::async_handshake_ex`
    * `websocket::accept_ex`
    * `websocket::handshake_ex`
    Programs still using these names should be refactored to use the `decorator` feature and
    the remaining handshake and accept functions.
  * `websocket::role_type` has been removed. Users should use `beast::role_type` instead.
  * `handler_ptr` has been removed. Users should use `net::bind_handler` and/or
    `bind_front_handler` instead.
  * Code that depends on `mutable_data_type` should be refactored to use
    `mutable_buffers_type`. Classes affected are:
    * `buffers_adaptor`
    * `flat_buffer`
    * `flat_static_buffer`
    * `multi_buffer`
    * `static_buffer`
  * The `reset` function has been removed from `flat_static_buffer`. Use the
    `clear` function instead.
  * The `core/type_traits.hpp` public header has been removed and along with it
    the type trait `is_completion_handler`. Beast uses the CompletionHandler correctness
    checks provided by Asio. In a c++20 environment, these convert to concept checks.
  * The error code enum `invalid_code_lenths` (sic) was a synonym of `invalid_code_lengths`.
    Affected programs should be modified to use `invalid_code_lengths`.
  * The file `core/buffers_adapter.hpp` has been removed along with the deprecated
    alias typename `buffers_adapter`. Affected programs should use
  `  core/buffers_adapator.hpp` and the type `buffers_adaptor`.

* [issue 1956] Deprecate `string_param` (API Change)
  ['Actions Required]
  `string_param`, which was previously the argument type when setting field values
  has been replaced by `string_view`. Because of this, it is no longer possible to
  set message field values directly as integrals.
  Users are requied to convert numeric arguments to a string type prior to calling
  `fields::set` et. al.
  Beast provides the non-allocating `to_static_string()` function for this purpose.
  To set Content-Length field manually, call `message::content_length`.

[*Fixes]

* [issue 1913] Fix standalone compilation error with `std::string_view`
* [issue 1925] [issue 1916] Fix compile errors on Visual Studio with /std:c++latest
* [issue 1924] Fix c++20 deprecation warning in `span_body`
* [issue 1920] Fix use `buffered_read_stream` with `use_awaitable`
* [issue 1918] Fix `async_detect_ssl` with `use_awaitable`
* [issue 1944] Fix `FILE` namespace qualification
* [issue 1942] Fix http read `bytes_transferred`
* [issue 1943] Fix `basic_stream` `expires_after`
* [issue 1980] Fix `max` compile error
* [issue 1949] `iless` and `iequal` take part in Heterogeneous Lookup

[*Miscellaneous]

* [issue 1907]  OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later is required when using SSL/TLS streams.
  This is a requirement inherited from Boost.Asio.

* Additional tests have been added to ensure correct integration with C++20
  coroutines when avaialable.

[heading Boost 1.73]

[*API Changes]

* Nested `mutable_data_type` in Beast dynamic buffers is deprecated. Affected types:
  * `buffers_adaptor`
  * `flat_buffer`
  * `flat_static_buffer`
  * `multi_buffer`
  * `static_buffer`


[*Changes Required]

* Revised [link beast.using_io.writing_composed_operations.echo Asynchronous Echo]

* Rewritten [link beast.using_io.writing_composed_operations.detect_ssl [*Detect SSL Handshake]]



[*API Changes]

* The __Fields__ concept is deprecated and will be removed
  in a future version. ['Actions Required]: Do not rely on
  the ['Fields] concept.

* `handler_ptr` is deprecated. ['Actions Required]: Use
  `stable_async_base` and
  `allocate_stable`
  instead.

* On Windows, Visual Studio 2017 or later is required

* OpenSSL is required to build the examples and tests

* HTTP stream algorithms return the number of bytes transferred
  from the stream. Previously, they returned the number of bytes
  consumed by the parser.
  ['Actions Required]:
  * Callers depending on the return value of
    `http::read` or
    `http::async_read`
    overloads should adjust the usage of
    the returned value as needed.

* Metafunctions
  `has_get_executor`,
  `is_sync_stream`,
  `is_sync_read_stream`,
  `is_sync_write_stream`,
  `is_async_stream`,
  `is_async_read_stream`, and
  `is_async_write_stream`
  are in stream_traits.hpp.
  ['Actions Required]: Include stream_traits.hpp as needed.

* `basic_parser`
  is abstract.
  ['Actions Required]
  * Change uses of the `basic_parser` type to omit the `Derived`
    template parameter
  * Classes derived from `basic_parser` no longer need to friend
    the base.
  * Virtual functions in the derived class may be marked `override`.

  `is_file`
  is in file_base.hpp.
  ['Actions Required]: Include file_base.hpp as needed.

* `flat_static_buffer::reset()`
  is deprecated.
  ['Actions Required]:
  * call
    `clear()` instead.

* `buffers_adapter` is spelled
  `buffers_adaptor`.
  ['Actions Required]:
  * Replace `buffers_adapter` with
    `buffers_adaptor`,
    or define `BOOST_BEAST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED`.

* `buffers` is spelled
  `make_printable`.
  ['Actions Required]:
  * Replace `buffers` with
    `make_printable`,
    and include "make_printable.hpp" instead of "ostream.hpp".

* `file_mode::append_new` is removed, as it makes no sense.
  ['Actions Required]:
  * Replace `file_mode::append_new` with either
    `file_mode::append` or
    `file_mode::append_existing`
    as needed.

* `role_type` is moved from `websocket` to `beast`

* `buffers_range_ref`
  is preferred to `std::reference_wrapper`.
  ['Actions Required]:
  * Call
    `buffers_range_ref`
    with the buffer, instead of calling
    `buffers_range`
    with a reference wrapper constructed from the buffer.

* Nested `lowest_layer` and `lowest_layer_type` are removed.
  ['Actions Required]: Use the free function
  `get_lowest_layer` and the
  type trait
  `lowest_layer_type` instead.

* WebSocket decorator is a socket option:
  * Overloads of the following functions which accept a Decorator
    are deprecated:
    * `accept`, `accept_ex`
    * `handshake`, `handshake_ex`
    * `async_accept`, `async_accept_ex`
    * `async_handshake`, `async_handshake_ex`

* ([issue 1375]) The value returned from `basic_parser::content_length`
  no longer changes as the body of the message is received.
  ['Actions Required]: Call `basic_parser::content_length_remaining` instead
  of `basic_parser::content_length` in order to determine the remaining
  number of bytes in the body.


[*Examples]

* All example programs are updated:
  * Use
    `tcp_stream`
    with timeouts (HTTP)
  * Use
    `ssl_stream`
  * Set timeouts for WebSocket streams.
  * Use
    `bind_front_handler`

[heading Boost 1.68]

This version fixes a missing executor work guard in all composed operations
used in the implementation. Users who are experiencing crashes related to
asynchronous completion handlers are encouraged to upgrade. Also included
is an improved mechanism for generating random numbers used to mask outgoing
websocket frames when operating in the client mode. This resolves a

[heading Boost 1.67]

This version fixes significant defects in
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__stream `websocket::stream`]
which can lead to asserts or undefined behavior. Users are encouraged
to update to the latest Boost release.

[*New Features]

* Move-only completion handlers are supported throughout the library

* ([issue 899]) Advanced server examples support idle websocket pings and timeouts

* ([issue 849]) WebSocket permessage-deflate support is now a compile-time
  feature.  This adds an additional `bool` template parameter to
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__stream `websocket::stream`]
  When `deflateSupported` is `true`, the stream will be capable of
  negotiating the permessage-deflate websocket extension per the
  configured run-time settings.
  When `deflateSupported` is `false`, the stream will never negotiate
  the permessage-deflate websocket extension. Furthermore, all of the
  code necessary for implementing the permessage-deflate extension
  will be excluded from function instantiations. Programs which set
  `deflateSupported` to `false` when instantiating streams will be smaller.

* ([issue 949]) WebSocket error codes are revised. New
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__error error codes]
  are added for more fine-grained failure outcomes. Messages for error
  codes are more verbose to help pinpoint the problem. Error codes are
  now also mapped to newly added
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__condition error conditions]
  to simplify comparisons. The error codes `websocket::error::failed`
  and `websocket::error::handshake_failed` are removed.
  Actions required:
  Code which explicitly compares `error_code` values against
  the constant `websocket::error::handshake_failed` should compare
  against
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__condition `websocket::condition::handshake_failed`]
  instead.
  Code which explicitly compares error_code values against the
  constant `websocket::error::failed` should compare
  against
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__condition `websocket::condition::protocol_violation`]
  instead.

[*Improvements]

* ([issue 857])
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__basic_fields `http::basic_fields`]
  uses less storage

* ([issue 894])
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__basic_fields `http::basic_fields`]
  exception specifiers are provided

* Implementation no longer uses deprecated `asio::null_buffers`

* Add [include_file boost/beast/websocket/stream_fwd.hpp]

* ([issue 955]) The asynchronous SSL detector example uses a stackless coroutine

* [link beast.ref.boost__beast__bind_handler `bind_handler`]
  works with boost placeholders

* Examples set `reuse_address(true)`

* ([issue 1026]) Advanced servers support clean shutdown via SIGINT or SIGTERM

* Some basic_fields operations now give the strong exception guarantee

[*Fixes]

* Fix "warning: ‘const’ type qualifier on return type has no effect"

* ([issue 916]) Tidy up `ssl_stream` special members

* ([issue 918]) Calls to `<algorithm>` are protected from macros

* ([issue 954]) The control callback is invoked on the proper executor

* ([issue 994]) Fix iterator version of
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__basic_fields.erase.overload1 `http::basic_fields::erase`]

* ([issue 992]) Fix use-after-move in example request handlers

* ([issue 988]) Type check completion handlers

* ([issue 985]) Tidy up
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__bind_handler `bind_handler`]
  doc

* Fix memory leak in advanced server examples

* ([issue 1000]) Fix soft-mutex assert in websocket stream.
  This resolves the assert `"ws_.wr_block_ == tok_"`.

* ([issue 1019]) Fix fallthrough warnings

* ([issue 1024]) Fix teardown for TIME_WAIT

* ([issue 1030]) Fix big-endian websocket masking

* Safe treatment of zero-length string arguments in basic_fields

* ([issue 1043]) Examples clear the HTTP message before reading

* ([issue 1012]) Add asio_handler_invoke overloads for stream algorithms

* Add Access-Control-Expose-Headers field constant

[*API Changes]

* Remove unintended public members of
  `handler_ptr`.
  Actions required: don't call non-public members.

* `handler_ptr`
  is a move-only type, with `unique_ptr` semantics.
  Actions required: user-defined composed operations using `handler_ptr`
  to manage state can only be moved, not copied.

* `handler_ptr`
  gives the strong exception guarantee. The constructor signature
  for managed objects constructed by `handler_ptr` now receives a
  `const` reference to the handler. Actions required: Change the
  constructor signature for state objects used with `handler_ptr`
  to receive a `const` reference to the handler.

* ([issue 896])
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__basic_fields `http::basic_fields`]
  does not support fancy pointers

* [link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__parser `http::parser`]
  is no longer [*MoveConstructible]

* ([issue 930]) `http::serializer::reader_impl` is deprecated and will
  be removed in the next release. Actions required: Call
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__serializer.writer_impl `http::serializer::writer_impl`]
  instead of `serializer::reader_impl`.

* ([issue 884]) The __BodyReader__ and __BodyWriter__ concept constructor
  requirements have changed. They now require the header and body
  elements to be passed as distinct
  [link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__header `http::header`]
  and `value_type` objects. This enables the composition of body types.
  The previous single-argument constructors are deprecated and will be
  removed in the next version.
  Actions required: Change user-defined instances of __BodyReader__ or
  __BodyWriter__ constructor signatures to the two-argument form.
  Alternatively. define the macro `BOOST_BEAST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED` in
  the project (which will cause both the new and the deprecated
  signatures to be accepted).

* [link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__stream.control_callback `websocket::stream::control_callback`]
  now copies or moves the function object.

* ([issue 1014]) DynamicBuffer input areas are not mutable.
  Actions required: do not attempt to write to input areas of dynamic
  buffers.

* ([issue 941]) `get_lowest_layer` is now a type alias.
  Actions required: Replace instances of `typename get_lowest_layer<T>::type`
  with `get_lowest_layer<T>`.
