I am the author of Garage, a storage system that relies on rmp-serde to serialize all data that is persisted to disk. We are currently using version 0.15.5 of rmp-serde, and I am reluctant to upgrade to version 1.1.2 due to potential compatibility issues with existing data.
My questions are as follows:
Is there a guarantee that all structures serialized with version 0.15.5 can always be deserialized with version 1.1.2?
Do you recommend updating our rmp-serde dependency?
I know that the other way around (deserializing data using 0.15.5 that was serialized by 1.1.2) it doesn't always work, we accidentally ended up in such a situation and got error messages like this one: Messagepack decode error: wrong msgpack marker FixStr(10)
Thank you for your time and for making this project.
