[Rock-dev] cereal serialization library anyone?

[Raul Dominguez]

Hi,

in Entern we are using boost serialization 
(https://github.com/envire/envire-orogen-envire_core)

The new Envire requires C++11 compilation and as far as I know we didn't 
experience any problem with that at framework level.


Kind regards,
Raúl
