Hi all, we are using boost serialization for writing and reading data and just switched from boost 1:67 to boost 1:73. We now cannot read back the data written with boost 1:67 or prior. We get an archive_exception::input_stream_error exception. Examining the files shows the difference. The old files are starting with 22 serialization::archive 16 The new files are missing this data. Removing it from the files enabled the reading with boost 1:73. But strangely, if trying a small example program (the gps example from the documentation) also boost 1:73 produces this data: 22 serialization::archive 18 Any idea what has changed in between these versions and could cause this problem? Thanks in advance for any hint. Our application uses an own derived archive class. Maybe I have to changed something there?
