 ** **Breaking change (`backmp11`)**: Direct access to the event pool is changed from `public` to `protected`,
 because manipulating it outside of the library code can lead to undefined behavior.

+* boost_phrase:library[Optional,/libs/optional/]:
+** For compilers with full C++11 support (including "unrestricted  unions" and ref-qualifiers)
+  changed the implementation from aligned storage to union storage. This enables the gradual
+  `constexpr` support:
+
+*** In C++11, some constructors and `const`-qualified accessors become usable
+      in compile-time contexts (are _core constant expressions_) for types
+      satisfying certain constraints.
+*** In C++14 even some mutating operations become core constant expressions (those
+      that do not require changing the state of `optional` from not having a value to
+      having a value), for co-operating types.
+*** In C++17 all constructors (including copy and move) become core constant expressions for co-operating types.

+This addresses issues https://github.com/boostorg/optional/issues/132[#132] and https://github.com/boostorg/optional/issues/143[#143].
+
+** *Breaking change.* Abandoned the mechanism for customizing
+  `swap`. Hardly anyone knows about this mechanism and it was never documented.
+
+** Applied a couple of small changes to get closer to the interface of `std::optional`:
+  *** Enabled syntax `o = {}` for putting optional objects to no-value state.
+  *** Enabled syntax `o.value_or({})`, which uses a default-constructed `T`.
+  *** Construct `o = u`, where `o` is of type `optional<T>` and `u` is of type `U` convertible to `T`,
+    does not create a temporary `T`.
+
+** Added a conversion from `optional<T>&` to `optional<T&>`. This addresses https://github.com/boostorg/optional/issues/142[#142].
+
+** `none_t` is now `std::equality_comparable`, which means that `none_t` and `optional<T>`
+  model concept `std::equality_comparable_with` (for `std::equality_comparable` `T`),
+  which means that you can `std::ranges::find(rng, boost::none)` for a range of optional objects.
+
+** *Warning.* In the future releases we intend to introduce the range interface
+  in `optional`, so that `std::ranges::range<optional<T>>` will be `true`.
+  This will affect the overload resolution in programs in certain cases that make decisions based
+  on predicates such as `std::ranges::range`. For instance, the following code
+  will start behaving differently:
+
++
+
+  template <typename T>
+  void serialize(T const& v)
+  {
+    if constexpr (std::ranges::range<T>)
+      serialize_as_range(v);
+    else if constexpr (custom::is_optional_like<T>)
+      serialize_as_optional(v);
+    else
+      serialize_as_value(v);
+  }
