I was of the understanding that alterations for 1.33.1 should be confined to bug fixes, corrections to documentation, and things like that. And that's what I did. I had expected 1.33.1 to be release sometime ago and have refrained from checking in any other kinds of changes. So if "updated" libraries refers to changes between 1.33.0 and 1.33.1 the only real change is tha it should work better and have fewer surprises. Serialization things that I'm working on as I have time are: a) Testing of performance. b) Minor optimizations in implementation c) Small/corrections in the API(e.g. delete_created_pointers) d) Better documentation of classes provided to help implement one's own archives e) Testing and refinement of implementation issues related to the case where classes are in dynamically loaded DLLS (shared_libraries). This revolves around issues that are not part of the C++ language proper but rather implementation of runtime linking in various platforms. f) updating test suite to unit-testing platform. Most of the discussion referred to was about documentation which raised issues which have been partially addressed and will be worked on some more. Note that I won't be working on serialization for any other types (e.g. boost::any) or any other archive types (e.g. fast binary archives). Some of these have been taken up by others however. Beyound what is necessary to accomplish the above, I don't plan on making any changes to the core library itself. Given the approximately one year release frequency of boost, I'm hopeful that I'll be able to make the above enhancements before the next boost release - 1.34 ? Robert Ramey Russell Hind wrote:

Updated Libraries
Has nothing changed with the serialization lib since 1.33.0 (that an end-user would notice)? I know there's been lots of discussions going on about it, but nothing is listed in this 'updated libraries' section.
