I'm one of the co-developers of cereal. cereal is a serialization library much like Boost serialization, but written in modern C++ (C++11) with an emphasis on being easy to extend. It currently supports binary, XML, and JSON serialization and works with GCC 4.7.3, clang 3.3, or MSVC 2013 (or newer). cereal natively supports pretty much everything in the standard library, so getting started with it is fairly easy. If you have been using Boost and want to give it a try, in many cases you can do so by only changing a few lines of code. The full release notes can be found on GitHub. https://github.com/USCiLab/cereal/releases/tag/v1.0.0
