Sure, it must be possible to create a version of boost::archive::xml which will be also capable to keep upward compatibility without necessity to load things into the property_tree first. Binary and text archives must be extended with field names to allow field skipping.

There is already a patch[1] that allows to skip unkown fields in xml archive. It is still not accepted. https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8088 Ticket was opened 5 year ago and there is no answer since that time. Is serialization library still maintained? -- Best regards, Sergey Spiridonov
