- <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 compilation on gcc
- <li>improved template instantantation 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 serialized
- as pointers and subsequently serialized as objects
- <li>permit non-portable binary archives
- <li>implement workaround for systems such as MSVC 6.0 that
- don't support 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 an 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 handling 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 package compatible with two-phase lookup.
- <li>Many small adjustments to accommodate quirks of various compilers.
- <li>A few bug fixes.
- </ul>
