[Boost-users] [serialization] Polymorphic archives in 1.38

I've been using serialization with polymorphic archives from boost 1.38, but I 
had to apply the patch given by Vladimir Prus (http://lists.boost.org/boost-
users/2009/03/45658.php) to get it linking (with MSVC71).

E.g.:

    #include <boost/archive/polymorphic_text_oarchive.hpp>
    #include <boost/archive/polymorphic_text_iarchive.hpp>

    #if BOOST_VERSION <= 103800
    #include <boost/archive/impl/archive_pointer_oserializer.ipp>
    #include <boost/archive/impl/archive_pointer_iserializer.ipp>
    namespace boost { namespace archive {
    template class 
detail::archive_pointer_iserializer<polymorphic_text_oarchive>;
    template class 
detail::archive_pointer_iserializer<polymorphic_text_iarchive>;
    }}
    #endif

    #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp>

    #include <sstream>

    struct A
    {
        template <typename A>
        void serialize(A &, const unsigned)
        {}
    };

    BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(A);

    void test_ser()
    {
        A a;
        std::ostringstream ostr;
        boost::archive::polymorphic_text_oarchive arch(ostr);
        arch & a;
    }

Can anyone tell me if this has been addressed in 1.39?  I.e. does the above 
compile and link with 1.39 (on MSVC71)?

TIA.

Chard.
