That was my understanding too.  However, I just downloaded 1.43 and
libs/serialization/src/basic_archive.cpp has the following:

// 5 - Boost 1.36
//     changed serialization of collections: adding version even for primitive
//     types caused backwards compatibility breaking change in 1.35
// 6 - Boost 1.41, serializing collection sizes as std::size_t

BOOST_ARCHIVE_DECL(version_type)
BOOST_ARCHIVE_VERSION(){
    return version_type(7);
}

Perhaps 1.43 was already correct?  Or was the versioning done some other
way?
