Could you please elaborate on this a bit?

I am currently using boost 1.34.0, and am using binary archives. If we
release
software now that generates binary archives, and at a later stage, if we
upgrade the
boost version, will we not be able to read back the old binary archives? How
do we
ensure that on upgrading boost we can still read back old binary archives?

Thanks
