Boost for React Native

This is the subset of Boost required by React Native. It includes only the Boost source code (without the docs, for example) that is needed by RN.

Do not use this repo directly: its sole purpose is to distribute Boost code for building React Native.

This library does not necessarily follow semver. It follows Boost's versioning plus a number in the prerelease identifier position. React Native declares the exact version of this library it depends on instead of using semver ranges.

Upgrading Boost

First, download a new version of Boost, e.g.: http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_84_0.html

Then create a dummy commit and a git tag so you can create a new release.

React Native build tools (Gradle and Cocoapods) expect specific folder structure. Run this command to get a .tar.gz file:

tar -cvzf boost_<version>.tar.gz boost_<version>/

Then drag&drop the tar.gz file to the releases page.
