This not 37 only eliminated an annoying header sequencing requirement, but also the need to maintain 38 a list of "known archives". 39 <li>Mattias Troyer enhanced the implementation of native binary archives. This includes 40 enhancement and generalization of the library itself including generalization of 41 the wrapper concept. 42 <li>Markus Schöpflin tracked down issues with TRU64 compiler resulting in 100% passing. 43 <li><a href="mailto::troy@resophonic.com"> Troy D. Straszheim</a> made the initial version of variant serialization. 44 <li>Tonko Juricic helped refine and complete project files for VC 7.1 ide 45 <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/rene_rivera.htm">Rene Rivera</a> tracked down several issues related to 46 Code Warrior, toolset configuration and bjam and much else. 47 <li>Martin Ecker detected (and fixed!) a number of subtle errors regarding cyclic 48 pointers, shared pointers. He also built the library as a DLL and raised some issues 49 <li>Pavel Vozenilek invested much effort in review of code and documentation 50 resulting in many improvements. In addition he helped a lot with porting to other 51 platforms including VC 6.0, Intel, and especially Borland. 52 <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/jens_maurer.htm">Jens Maurer</a> and 53 <a href="http://www.boost.org/people/beman_dawes.html">Beman Dawes</a> who got the boost 54 serialization ball rolling. It was one or both of these two that invented 55 the much beloved <code>&</code> syntax used to implement both save and 56 load in one fuction specification. 57 <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/vladimir_prus.htm">Vladimir Prus</a> for evaluating an 58 early draft and contributing the diamond inheritance example. 59 <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/william_kempf.htm">William E. Kempf</a> 60 who made the templates for this and other boost manuals. This relieved 61 me of much aggravation. 62 <li><a href="mailto:vahan@unicad.am">Vahan Margaryan</a> and 63 <a href="mailto:fredrik_blomqvist-at-home.se">Fredrik Blomqvist</a> for their contributions 64 to my understanding of the subtle issues of exception safety in this context. 65 <li>all other boost members who responded with feedback during the 66 development of this library. Almost all comments resulted in 67 tangible changes in the library which made it much better. 68 <li>boosters who helped out in porting to other platforms:, Fernando Cacciola (Borland), 69 Jeff Flinn (VC 7.1), Vladimir Prus (gcc 3.3), Christoph Ludwig(gcc 3.4), 70 Rob Lievaart(mingw), Marshal Clow(gcc-darwin) among others. 71 <li>all boost members who participated in the first formal review 72 in November 2002. Many of these members invested quite an effort 73 to evaluate the library and suggest changes. They are 74 Matthias Troyer, Pavel Vozenilek, Vladimir Prus, Fredrik Blomqvist, 75 Jeff Garland, Gennadiy Rozental, Alberto Barbati, Dave Harris. 76 Mr. Rozenthal in particular wrote an incredibly insightful analysis 77 that has driven all subsequent development that has resulted in the 78 current package. 79 <li>Dave Harris proposal and spirited defense of it led to a re-thinking 80 of the overrides for serialization of pointers. This resulted in a simpler 81 and more effective method of accounting for non-default constructors 82 required by serialization of pointers and STL collections. 83 <li><a href="mailto:admin@thefireflyproject.us">Bryce Lelbach</a> rewrote the XML Serialization grammar using Boost.Spirit 2.x. 84</ul> 85<hr> 86<p><i>© Copyright <a href="http://www.rrsd.com">Robert Ramey</a> 2002-2004. 87Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
