New description:

 Boost 1.74.0 was released on 20200814 <

 I've closed the WIP PR for 1.72.0 because it was stale. I'll do a local
 update / test to work on compatibility and if things aren't horrible then
 I'll create another PR. Hopefully this Boost is more project-compatible
 than the prior 2 versions, and so we can get it in place more quickly.
