Hello group!
We are upgrading boost from version 1.34.1
to 1.43.0. A quick test revealed that after the upgrade our binary archives
cannot be loaded anymore. It seems like the type of the class id was changed
from int to short making the old archive from 1.34.1 incompatible to our
current application using 1.43.0. Is this a bug or expected behavior? How does
boost serialization treat backwards compatibility? Will archives created by
earlier versions of the library be still loadable? Do different archives behave
differently in this regard? We do not really require backwards compatibility. I
would just like to know what to expect.
Thanks you.
