It never occured to me to build this into the serialization library itself, Now that it has been mentioned, it seems like a worthy idea. I'll consider it.

The only issue with you doing this automatically is that if people decide to change a newer version of software to serialize as an older version, but can still handle loading in the newer versions written by the previous version of software. Although would that happen in practice? I'd just increment the object version again. Cheers for the pointer on getting the version. Thanks Russell
