<li>26 Feb 2002 initial version uploaded to boost
|
|
<li>27 Feb 2002
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>divide interface from implementation for class
|
|
serialization to permit compilation on gcc
|
|
<li>improved template instantantation for type templates
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>18 Mar 2002 - draft #2 uploaded to boost
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>elminated locale effects on archives
|
|
<li>added signature and library version to archive header
|
|
<li>improved detection of errors when objects are serialized
|
|
as pointers and subsequently serialized as objects
|
|
<li>permit non-portable binary archives
|
|
<li>implement workaround for systems such as MSVC 6.0 that
|
|
don't support partial ordering
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>16 May 2002 - draft #3 uploaded to boost
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Ability to specify serialization of other templates in a
|
|
non-intrusive way.
|
|
<li>Included an example which uses boost::shared_ptr.
|
|
<li>improved documentation
|
|
<li>More test cases
|
|
<li>More testing and documentation of obscure situtations
|
|
<li>Better code organization for transparency
|
|
<li>Wide character support implemented and tested with unicode.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>28 Jun 2002 - #4 library submission
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>minor corrections
|
|
<li>replaced erroneous shared_ptr example with std::auto_ptr example
|
|
<li>prevention of memory leaks when exceptions are invoked
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>30 Aug 2002 - #5 library submission
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>minor corrections
|
|
<li>Additions to documentation to explicitly address issues of
|
|
exception safety.
|
|
<li>More test cases/demos to illustrate handling of the above issues.
|
|
<li>Additions to documentation to include rationale for not depending
|
|
on type_id
|
|
<li>Implementation of serialization of boost::shared_ptr.
|
|
This is included as a demo as it depends upon a minor alteration
|
|
of boost::shared_count.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>08 Nov 2002 - #6 library submission
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>minor corrections
|
|
<li>corrected error which manifested itself when serializing
|
|
polymorphic pointers to obects derived from multiple
|
|
base classes
|
|
<li>minor adjustments to support plug-ins via virtual
|
|
save/load/version functions
|
|
<li>test cases to support the above
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>08 September 2003- version # 12 library submission
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>attempts to address all issues raised during the November 2002 review
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>November 2003 - draft #13 uploaded
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>corrections, enhancements, change in api for pointer overload
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>28 December 2003
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>implementation of save/loadbinary
|
|
<li>enhancements included archives to permit derivation
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>1 March 2004 - draft # 17 upload
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>portability to intel 8.0, and VC 6.0
|
|
<li>Alter archive implementation to permit derivation. Make tests.
|
|
<li>Implement serialize/save/load binary for text and XML archives
|
|
using <code>base64</code> character encoding.
|
|
<li>Added documentation and test for serialization of large binary objects.
|
|
<li>Added "Derivation from an Existing Archive Class" to documentation along
|
|
with example program.
|
|
<li>Added PIMPL example
|
|
<li>certain special situations are now detected and addressed at
|
|
compile time to generate all in-line code. For example, for types
|
|
serialized without class information, and without memory tracking,
|
|
the serialization process can be reduced to a minimal amount of inline
|
|
code.
|
|
<li>All tests have been run in release as well as debug mode
|
|
<li>Many improvements in code and documentation to improve accuracy and completeness.
|
|
</ul>
|
|

|
|
<li>Reorganization of header and template files.
