I think boost::serialization library has very serious flaw. It is lack of backward compatibility for binary archive. I discovered this problem when I did upgrade from 1.34 to 1.43 and 1.44 versions of BOOST. 1.44 library can not work with old binary archive. The reason - format of binary header of archive has been changed. I think 1.45 version should be corrected for this problem and/or we should place some announcement about recommendation not to use the 1.44 version to work with binary archive.
See: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4660 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/208588
I"m aware of this, it's just that I haven't the the time to deal with it right now. I've had a lot of trouble with this and I'm warying of trying to fix it without having the time to do it right.
Can we roll back to 1.43's Serialization library for the time being? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
