Boost is a set of libraries for the C++ programming language that provides support for tasks and structures such as linear algebra, pseudo-random number generation, multithreading, image processing, regular expressions, and unit testing.

Why Use Boost?
In a word, Productivity. Use of high-quality libraries like Boost speeds initial development, results in fewer bugs, reduces reinvention-of-the-wheel, and cuts long-term maintenance costs. And since Boost libraries tend to become de facto or de jure standards, many programmers are already familiar with them.

***NOTE: These BUILDs are meant for BUILDing other software only within OBS, such is qBitTorrent, and not for actual (local) installations on your operating system; In case of CUSTOMIZED BOOST Libraries it is possible to have them installed, but potential conflicts with the ones pre-installed by your operating system might arise, depending in your use case so use these with caution . . .***
