+Compiling
+---------
+
+The Boost.GIL library source code should successfully compile with any
+compiler with complete C++11 support.
+
+.. note::
+
+   We are planning to drop support for require C++14 support in Boost 1.76 or later,
+   or selectively drop support for GCC 5 due to its issues with inheriting constructors,
+   see `discussion for PR #526 <https://github.com/boostorg/gil/pull/526>`_.
+
+For the actual list of currently tested compilers, check results of the library CI
+builds linked from the `README.md <https://github.com/boostorg/gil/blob/develop/README.md>`_
+or inspect the CI services configuration files in the `develop branch <https://github.com/boostorg/gil/tree/develop>`_
+of the library repository.
