@varun just a note, that boost is also required for OpenImageIO according to the build script. Might be worth adjusting the changelog to reflect that, since it only mentions VDB.

Great release though! Lots of awesome changes in here.

Thanks @dhruvgovil for taking a note of this.

The note about boost dependency is because OpenUSD just needs to know where the boost headers are located because OpenVDB uses boost in its public headers, and hence USD will need to provide boost. Whereas when building with OIIO, that is not the case, as boost is required for OIIO’s build but not as a USD requirement.

Thanks

That’s fair. Perhaps the changelog could reflect that nuance? “Dependencies may require boost to build” or something along those lines?
