I am reporter of bug #4660 (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4660). I am glad this bug was fixed in 1.45 version. But I did not find any information in release notes (http://www.boost.org/users/download/version_1_45_0) and in library documentation (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/serialization/doc/index.html) about what was fixed in 1.44 version. There are not any recommendations or comments about using version 1.44 with binary archives. I think that the absence of such information is very dangerous for the future of the serialization library, since this is a serious indicator of the quality of maintenance of the library. (I have no complaints about the quality of the library and its design) Should I reopen this bug, or open a new one, or this letter would be sufficient to restore order to the documentation of serialization library?
