<ol>
<li>26 Feb 2002 initial version uploaded to boost
<li>27 Feb 2002
<ul>
<li>divide interface from implementation for class
serialization to permit compiliation on gcc
<li>improved template instantanciation for type templates
</ul>
<li>18 Mar 2002 - draft #2 uploaded to boost
<ul>
<li>elminated locale effects on archives
<li>added signature and library version to archive header
<li>improved detection of errors when objects are serializationed
as pointers and subsequently serializationed as objects
<li>permit non-portable binary archives
<li>implement work around for systems such as MSVC 6.0 that
don'tsupport partial ordering
</ul>
<li>16 May 2002 - draft #3 uploaded to boost
<ul>
<li>Ability to specify serialization of other templates in a
non-intrusive way.
<li>Included and example which uses boost::shared_ptr.
<li>improved documentation
<li>More test cases
<li>More testing and documentation of obscure situtations
<li>Better code organization for transparency
<li>Wide character support implemented and tested with unicode.
</ul>
<li>28 Jun 2002 - #4 library submission
<ul>
<li>minor corrections
<li>replaced erroneous shared_ptr example with std::auto_ptr example
<li>prevention of memory leaks when exceptions are invoked
</ul>
<li>30 Aug 2002 - #5 library submission
<ul>
<li>minor corrections
<li>Additions to documentation to explicitly address issues of
exception safety.
<li>More test cases/demos to illustrate handlling of the above issues.
<li>Additions to documentation to include rationale for not depending
on type_id
<li>Implementation of serialization of boost::shared_ptr.
This is included as a demo as it depends upon a minor alteration
of boost::shared_count.
</ul>
<li>08 Nov 2002 - #6 library submission
<ul>
<li>minor corrections
<li>corrected error which manifested itself when serializing
polymorphic pointers to obects derived from multiple
base classes
<li>minor adjustments to support plug-ins via virtual
save/load/version functions
<li>test cases to support the above
</ul>
<li>08 September 2003- version # 12 library submission
<ul>
<li>attempts to address all issues raised during the November 2002 review
</ul>
<li>November 2003 - draft #13 uploaded
<ul>
<li>corrections, enhancements, change in api for pointer overload
</ul>
<li>28 December 2003
<ul>
<li>implementation of save/loadbinary
<li>enhancements included archives to permit derivation
</ul>
<li>1 March 2004 - draft # 17 upload
<ul>
<li>portability to intel 8.0, and VC 6.0
<li>Alter archive implementation to permit derivation. Make tests.
<li>Implement serialize/save/load binary for text and XML archives
using <code>base64</code> character encoding.
<li>Added documentation and test for serialization of large binary objects.
<li>Added "Derivation from an Existing Archive Class" to documentation along
with example program.
<li>Added PIMPL example
<li>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.
<li>All tests have been run in release as well as debug mode
<li>Many improvements in code and documentation to improve accuracy and completeness.
</ul>
<li>11 April 2004 - draft # 18 upload
<ul>
<li>Reorganization of header and template files.
<li>Enhanced documentation to help explain implementation issues.
<li>Adjustments to improve support for less conformant compilers.
<li>A few bug fixes.
</ul>
<li>31 May 2004 - draft # 20 upload
<ul>
<li>Polymorphic archives.
<li>A few bug fixes.
</ul>
<li>1 November 2004 - final changes for first boost official release 1.32 .
<ul>
<li>Adjustments to address make package compatible with two-phase lookup.
<li>Many small adjustments to accomdate quirks of various compilers.
<li>A few bug fixes.
</ul>
