  29   <li>26 Feb 2002 initial version uploaded to boost
  30   <li>27 Feb 2002
  31     <ul>
  32       <li>divide interface from implementation for class
  33           serialization to permit compilation on gcc
  34       <li>improved template instantantation for type templates
  35     </ul>
  36   <li>18 Mar 2002 - draft #2 uploaded to boost
  37     <ul>
  38       <li>elminated locale effects on archives
  39       <li>added signature and library version to archive header
  40       <li>improved detection of errors when objects are serialized
  41           as pointers and subsequently serialized as objects
  42       <li>permit non-portable binary archives
  43       <li>implement workaround for systems such as MSVC 6.0 that
  44           don't support partial ordering
  45     </ul>
  46   <li>16 May 2002 - draft #3 uploaded to boost
  47     <ul>
  48       <li>Ability to specify serialization of other templates in a
  49           non-intrusive way.
  50       <li>Included an example which uses boost::shared_ptr.
  51       <li>improved documentation
  52       <li>More test cases
  53       <li>More testing and documentation of obscure situtations
  54       <li>Better code organization for transparency
  55       <li>Wide character support implemented and tested with unicode.
  56     </ul>
  57   <li>28 Jun 2002 - #4 library submission
  58     <ul>
  59       <li>minor corrections
  60       <li>replaced erroneous shared_ptr example with std::auto_ptr example
  61       <li>prevention of memory leaks when exceptions are invoked
  62     </ul>
  63   <li>30 Aug 2002 - #5 library submission
  64     <ul>
  65       <li>minor corrections
  66       <li>Additions to documentation to explicitly address issues of
  67           exception safety.
  68       <li>More test cases/demos to illustrate handling of the above issues.
  69       <li>Additions to documentation to include rationale for not depending
  70           on type_id
  71       <li>Implementation of serialization of boost::shared_ptr.
  72           This is included as a demo as it depends upon a minor alteration
  73           of boost::shared_count.
  74     </ul>
  75   <li>08 Nov 2002   - #6 library submission
  76     <ul>
  77       <li>minor corrections
  78       <li>corrected error which manifested itself when serializing
  79           polymorphic pointers to obects derived from multiple
  80           base classes
  81       <li>minor adjustments to support plug-ins via virtual
  82           save/load/version functions
  83       <li>test cases to support the above
  84     </ul>
  85   <li>08 September 2003- version # 12 library submission
  86     <ul>
  87       <li>attempts to address all issues raised during the November 2002 review
  88     </ul>
  89   <li>November 2003 - draft #13 uploaded
  90     <ul>
  91       <li>corrections, enhancements, change in api for pointer overload
  92     </ul>
  93   <li>28 December 2003
  94     <ul>
  95        <li>implementation of save/loadbinary
  96        <li>enhancements included archives to permit derivation
  97     </ul>
  98   <li>1 March 2004 - draft # 17 upload
  99     <ul>
 100        <li>portability to intel 8.0, and VC 6.0
 101        <li>Alter archive implementation to permit derivation.  Make tests.
 102        <li>Implement serialize/save/load binary for text and XML archives
 103        using <code>base64</code> character encoding.
 104        <li>Added documentation and test for serialization of large binary objects.
 105        <li>Added "Derivation from an Existing Archive Class" to documentation along
 106        with example program.
 107        <li>Added PIMPL example
 108        <li>certain special situations are now detected and addressed at
 109        compile time to generate all in-line code.  For example, for types
 110        serialized without class information, and without memory tracking,
 111        the serialization process can be reduced to a minimal amount of inline
 112        code.
 113        <li>All tests have been run in release as well as debug mode
 114        <li>Many improvements in code and documentation to improve accuracy and completeness.
