Gang Wang discovered several 32bugs in the code. Thomas Wenisch brought out the idea of "sequence sets" 33from which sequenced indices were designed. Giovanni Bajo, Chris Little and 34Maxim Yegorushkin tested the library on several platforms. Daniel Wallin 35contributed fixes for MSVC++ 7.0. Ron Liechty and the support staff at 36Metrowerks provided assistance during the porting of the library to CW 8.3. 37Porting to VisualAge 6.0 counted on Toon Knapen's help. Markus Schöpflin 38aided with Compaq C++ 6.5 and GCC for Tru64 UNIX. Rosa Bernárdez proofread the 39last versions of the tutorial. 40</p> 41 42<p> 43Pavel Voženílek has been immensely helpful in thoroughly reviewing 44every single bit of the library, and he also suggested several extra 45functionalities, most notably range querying, safe mode, polymorphic key 46extractors and MPL support. Thank you! 47</p> 48 49<p> 50The Boost acceptance review took place between March 20th and 30th 2004. 51Pavel Voženílek was the review manager. Thanks to all the people 52who participated and specially to those who submitted reviews: 53Fredrik Blomqvist, Tom Brinkman, Paul A Bristow, Darren Cook, Jeff Garland, 54David B. Held, Brian McNamara, Gary Powell, Rob Stewart, Arkadiy Vertleyb, 55Jörg Walter. Other Boost members also contributed ideas, particularly 56in connection with the library's naming scheme: Pavol Droba, 57Dave Gomboc, Jeremy Maitin-Shepard, Thorsten Ottosen, Matthew Vogt, 58Daryle Walker. My apologies if I inadvertently left somebody out of this 59list. 60</p> 61 62<p> 63Boost.MultiIndex could not have been written without Aleksey Gurtovoy 64et al. superb <a href="../../../libs/mpl/doc/index.html">Boost MPL 65Library</a>. Also, Aleksey's techniques for dealing with ETI-related 66problems in MSVC++ 6.0 helped solve some internal issues of the library. 67</p> 68 69<p> 70The internal implementation of red-black trees is based on that of SGI STL 71<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/stl_tree.h">stl_tree.h</a> file: 72</p> 73 74<blockquote> 75Copyright (c) 1996,1997 76Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. 77<br> 78Permission to use, copy, modify, distribute and sell this software 79and its documentation for any purpose is hereby granted without fee, 80provided that the above copyright notice appear in all copies and 81that both that copyright notice and this permission notice appear 82in supporting documentation.

In memory of my cat López (2001-2003): he 104lived too fast, died too young. 105<br style="clear:all;"> 106</p> 107 108<h2><a name="boost_1_33">Boost 1.33 release</a></h2> 109 110<p> 111Many thanks again to Pavel Voženílek, who has carefully reviewed 112the new material and suggested many improvements. The design of hashed indices 113has benefited from discussions with several Boost members, most notably 114Howard Hinnant and Daniel James. Daniel has also contributed 115<a href="../../functional/hash/index.html">Boost.Hash</a> 116to the community: hashed indices depend on this library as 117their default hash function provider. Robert Ramey's 118<a href="../../serialization/index.html">Boost Serialization Library</a> 119provides the very solid framework upon which Boost.MultiIndex serialization 120capabilities are built. Toon Knapen helped adjust the library for VisualAge 6.0. 121Markus Schöpflin provided a Jamfile tweak for GCC under Tru64 UNIX. 122</p> 123 124<h2><a name="boost_1_34">Boost 1.34 release</a></h2> 125 126<p> 127<span style="float:left;margin-right:10px"><img src="hector.jpg" width="150" height="198"></span> 128Thanks go to Pavel Voženílek for his useful comments and suggestions 129during the development of this release, and to Rosa Bernárdez for reviewing 130the new material in the documentation. 131Alo Sarv suggested a notational improvement in the specification of 132partial searches with composite keys. 133Maxim Yegorushkin proposed a valuable 134<a href="tutorial/indices.html#ordered_node_compression">spatial optimization</a> 135for ordered indices and provided figures of its impact on performance 136for containers with large numbers of elements. 137Caleb Epstein performed the tests under MSVC++ 8.0 described in the 138performance section.
