Hi,

Is there any good reason not to move straight to the latest release, 1.60.0, assuming that everything builds/tests pass etc with that version? If we’re putting in the effort to move to a new version it makes sense to try the latest version, rather than some intermediate.

Cheers,

Richard

FWIW the latest version of Boost is 1.60.
CCP4 6.5 was using cctbx compiled with Boost 1.56
and CCP4 7.0 uses Boost 1.58.
