Absolutely nothing; the suggestion of 1.62 was merely a personal opinion.

Sure! A quick grep says the only current compile-time checks for Boost
versions are 1.59 (qa), 1.64 (also qa) and 1.68 (3D viewer cache). Since
1.64 is a no-go at this stage, 1.59 would be a good step forward.

(Sorry for the delay in response, I had an unexpected lack of internet
access for a couple of days).
