The library contains the test "test_shared_ptr_132.cpp" which I used to test backward compatibility for shared_ptr. This is the only serializaiton whose version is changed between the two versions. I concede this isn't exhaustive. A truely exhaustive test would take all the tests we have now, use them to create 1.32 version files, and read them with 1.33 version code. That would be quite a project. I'm pleased to encourage anyone who wants to take this on. Robert Ramey Thorsten Ottosen wrote:

Will a file created with a binary archive from Boost 1.32 be readable with Boost 1.33?
That is the intention.
I am just building the latest version from the cvs to try it myself, but I thought it would also be a good idea to ask this here.
I certainly would appreciate someone trying this.
How can we be even close to guaranteing this if we have no test that shows it?
