I have a following code snippet in my serialization header:

// To correctly recognize serialization of Inf and NaN numbers,
// there are different includes for different boost versions
#if BOOST_VERSION>=104700 
        #include<boost/math/special_functions/nonfinite_num_facets.hpp>
#else
        #include<boost/math/nonfinite_num_facets.hpp>
#endif

How do you plan to not break it with separate version numbers for each library?

best regards
Janek
