Could you please elaborate on this a bit?

I am currently using boost 1.34.0, and am using binary archives. If we release software now that generates binary archives, and at a later stage, if we upgrade the boost version, will we not be able to read back the old binary archives? How do we ensure that on upgrading boost we can still read back old binary archives?

Actually as far as I can see the format should not have changed. Could you please send examples that show a difference? Matthias
