Currently I have built a client/server that uses ASIO with boost serialization.
I built one set with boost 1.45 and another with boost 1.47

However:

o start boost 1.45 server
o ping using 1.47 client

  I get a boost::archive::archive_exception unsupported version

o start boost 1.47 server
o ping with boost 1.45 client

  Again I get a boost::archive::archive_exception unsupported version

Given that there was no change in format of the ping, is this bug or feature ?
Is there any way of disabling this feature of the archive , so exception
is only thrown when there is format change?

Any help appreciated.

Ta,
    Avi
