Hi,
geo and bgeo format is great as you can store any type of data with it.
I would like to export and import volumes primitives in geo and bgeo format. GPD libraries version 1 do not have any volume primitives Class. Is there a more recent version than the 2008 version?

Nope. Moreover, it's depreciated all together. As of H12, there is a new geometry library. Houdini can write to the old format though with *.h(b)classic extension, but I'm not sure if this is best idea. How about field3d?

The problem is that then you have to interface field3d files with houdini. If I write directly in a houdini format, then I can reopen the files in houdini without having to write an importer. I just have to write exporters.

Definitely, albeit volumes were never implemented in the GPD library. Field3d GEO_Translator is a part [sidefx.com] of HDK examples, so it shouldn't be that hard. Other than that, you are alone with custom reader for volumes in new json based format…
