The minimum, officially supported, compiler version for v3.8 and v3.8 
based forks is c++11.

I've been using c++17 for all POV-Ray compiles aimed at real use for 
years with the thought of bumping the minimum compiler level to c++17 
for yuqk - though probably a move to c++20 would now be the better choice.

Your post gives me a place to clarify my earlier regex footnote. The 
yuqk fork is using the c++'s std::regex capability - not boost's. I 
added the symbolic link for the boost regex library to match what the 
Ubuntu upgrade did in the official library location. I expect for 
POV-Ray it doesn't matter.

Aside: I'd like to rid the yuqk source of all remaining boost 
dependencies. I don't believe any are present day necessities. Someday...
