Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Boost 1.72.0 was released on 20191211. My initial testing shows 2 things:

  1. the new API is compatible with every port I have installed that requires Boost --26 ports, out of the roughly 268 ports that port echo depends:boost returns -- so about 10%, which for my current setup -- macOS 10.14.6 18G1012 / Xcode 11.2.1 11B500 -- all build cleanly & I saw no deprecation warnings in the build logs I reviewed (about 10 of those ports)!
  2. The new ABI is not compatible with the prior one. Hence, we have to actually rev-bump ports to link against the new ABI.

I'm going to create a PR for this update & post it here: first for Boost itself then rev-bumps for the dependent ports that I've tested. I'd encourage others to add to it.
