I have pushed a number of changes to iterator from 'develop' to 'master' for the next release.
A series of these changes on 'develop', by Marcel Raad, is an attempt to remove from 'iterator' the use of the deprecated headers 'boost/iterator.hpp' and 'boost/detail/iterator.hpp' in favor of using 'std::iterator' directly instead of 'boost::iterator' and 'std::iterator_traits' and 'std::distance' directly instead of 'boost::detail::iterator_traits' and 'boost::detail::distance'. Essentially these changes mean that any other library using 'iterator' classes would fail if they attempted to refer to 'boost::iterator', 'boost::detail::iterator_traits', or 'boost::detail::distance'.
The serialization library depends heavily on functionality only present in boost/iterator. This sounds like a recipe for surprises
Only if serialization directly specifies 'boost::iterator', 'boost::detail::iterator_traits', or 'boost::detail::distance'. If it just uses the usual iterator templates the change would not affect it.
