12141	XML serialization broken	Tony Lewis <tonyelewis@…>	Robert Ramey	"The Boost 1.61.0 beta1 version of serialization has a breaking regression that changes the XML closing tag to `&lt;/boost_serialization&gt;` rather than `</boost_serialization>`.

Example code:

{{{
#!cpp
#include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/nvp.hpp>

#include <iostream>

int main() {
	boost::archive::xml_oarchive oa( std::cerr );
	int bob = 3;
	oa << boost::serialization::make_nvp( ""bob"", bob );
}
}}}

Compiling and running with these commands:

{{{

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/boost_1_60_0_gcc_build/lib:/opt/boost_1_61_0_b1_gcc_build/lib
g++ ser_regn.cpp -isystem /opt/boost_1_60_0_gcc_build/include    -L/opt/boost_1_60_0_gcc_build/lib    -l boost_serialization-mt -o ser_regn.1_60_0
g++ ser_regn.cpp -isystem /opt/boost_1_61_0_b1_gcc_build/include -L/opt/boost_1_61_0_b1_gcc_build/lib -l boost_serialization-mt -o ser_regn.1_61_0_b1
./ser_regn.1_60_0
./ser_regn.1_61_0_b1
}}}

The 1_60_0 version gives:

{{{
<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" standalone=""yes"" ?>
<!DOCTYPE boost_serialization>
<boost_serialization signature=""serialization::archive"" version=""14"">
<bob>3</bob>
</boost_serialization>

}}}

The 1_61_0_b1 version gives:

{{{
<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" standalone=""yes"" ?>
<!DOCTYPE boost_serialization>
<boost_serialization signature=""serialization::archive"" version=""14"">
<bob>3</bob>
&lt;/boost_serialization&gt;
