compile bug in boost 1.74 with serialization

[viot]

The version 1.74 of the boost library has a bug in boost/serialization/optional.hpp
For instance, the code
#include <boost/serialization/optional.hpp>
int main () {
  return 0;
}
gives an error for the compilation.
This problem is solved in the version 1.75.
Is it possible to update the version?
