 | SerializationHistory | 
  - 26 Feb 2002 initial version uploaded to boost
  
- 27 Feb 2002
    
      - divide interface from implementation for class 
          serialization to permit compilation on gcc
      
- improved template instantantation for type templates
    
 
- 18 Mar 2002 - draft #2 uploaded to boost
    
      - elminated locale effects on archives
      
- added signature and library version to archive header
      
- improved detection of errors when objects are serialized 
          as pointers and subsequently serialized as objects
      
- permit non-portable binary archives
      
- implement workaround for systems such as MSVC 6.0 that
          don't support partial ordering
    
 
- 16 May 2002 - draft #3 uploaded to boost
    
      - Ability to specify serialization of other templates in a
          non-intrusive way.
      
- Included an example which uses boost::shared_ptr.
      
- improved documentation
      
- More test cases
      
- More testing and documentation of obscure situtations
      
- Better code organization for transparency
      
- Wide character support implemented and tested with unicode.
    
 
- 28 Jun 2002 - #4 library submission
    
      - minor corrections
      
- replaced erroneous shared_ptr example with std::auto_ptr example
      
- prevention of memory leaks when exceptions are invoked
    
 
- 30 Aug 2002 - #5 library submission
    
      - minor corrections
      
- Additions to documentation to explicitly address issues of
          exception safety.
      
- More test cases/demos to illustrate handling of the above issues.
      
- Additions to documentation to include rationale for not depending
          on type_id
      
- Implementation of serialization of boost::shared_ptr.
          This is included as a demo as it depends upon a minor alteration
          of boost::shared_count.
    
 
- 08 Nov 2002   - #6 library submission
    
      - minor corrections
      
- corrected error which manifested itself when serializing
          polymorphic pointers to obects derived from multiple
          base classes
      
- minor adjustments to support plug-ins via virtual
          save/load/version functions
      
- test cases to support the above
    
 
- 08 September 2003- version # 12 library submission
    
      - attempts to address all issues raised during the November 2002 review
    
 
- November 2003 - draft #13 uploaded
    
      - corrections, enhancements, change in api for pointer overload
    
 
- 28 December 2003
    
       - implementation of save/loadbinary
       
- enhancements included archives to permit derivation
    
 
- 1 March 2004 - draft # 17 upload
    
       - portability to intel 8.0, and VC 6.0
       
- Alter archive implementation to permit derivation.  Make tests.
       
- Implement serialize/save/load binary for text and XML archives
       using base64character encoding.
- Added documentation and test for serialization of large binary objects.
       
- Added "Derivation from an Existing Archive Class" to documentation along
       with example program.
       
- Added PIMPL example
       
- certain special situations are now detected and addressed at
       compile time to generate all in-line code.  For example, for types
       serialized without class information, and without memory tracking,
       the serialization process can be reduced to a minimal amount of inline
       code.
       
- All tests have been run in release as well as debug mode
       
- Many improvements in code and documentation to improve accuracy and completeness.
    
 
- 11 April 2004 - draft # 18 upload
    
       - Reorganization of header and template files.
       
- Enhanced documentation to help explain implementation issues.
       
- Adjustments to improve support for less conformant compilers.
       
- A few bug fixes.
    
 
- 31 May 2004 - draft # 20 upload
    
       - Polymorphic archives.
       
- A few bug fixes.
    
 
- 1 November 2004 - final changes for first boost official release 1.32 .
    
       - Adjustments to address package compatible with two-phase lookup.
       
- Many small adjustments to accommodate quirks of various compilers.
       
- A few bug fixes.
