 # Download and install Boost
-Install Boost in actions using prebuilt versions from [actions/boost-versions](https://github.com/actions/boost-versions).
+Install Boost in GitHub actions using prebuilt binaries.
 
 ## Inputs
 
 ### `boost_version`
 **Required** The boost version to install, e.g. ``1.73.0``.
-A list of supported versions can be found [here](https://github.com/actions/boost-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json).

-### `toolset`
-**Optional** A toolset used to compile boost, e.g. ``msvc14.2``. May only be used on windows, as the value on ubuntu is always ``gcc``.

 ### `platform_version`
-**Optional** The platform version of the system boost was compiled on, e.g. ``18.04``. May be only used on ubuntu, as the value is undefined on windows,
-thus, when specifying a value, this build step will fail.
+**Optional** The platform version of the system boost was compiled on, e.g. ``18.04`` for ``ubuntu-18.04``, ``2016`` for ``windows-2016`` or ``10.15`` for ``macos-10.15``.
 
 ### `boost_install_dir`
 **Optional** The directory to install boost into. If specified, boost will be installed into 
-``$boost_install_dir/boost/$BOOST_VERSION_STRING/``. The default value is ``${{env.GITHUB_WORKSPACE}}``.
+``$boost_install_dir/boost/boost/``. The default value is ``${{env.GITHUB_WORKSPACE}}``.
+
+### `version`
+**Optional** The version of the ``install-boost`` action to use. Must be either ``default`` or ``legacy``. Defaults to ``default``.
+If the ``default`` version is used, the binaries are downloaded from [MarkusJx/prebuilt-boost](https://github.com/MarkusJx/prebuilt-boost).
+The list of supported toolsets and versions can be found [here](https://github.com/MarkusJx/prebuilt-boost/blob/main/versions-manifest.json).

+Can only be specified when the ``legacy`` version is used.
