He's instrumental in 45 the porting of the Spirit iterators stuff to the new Boost Iterators Library 46 (version 2). He also did various bug fixes and wrote some tests here and there. 47</p> 48<p><b>Juan Carlos Arevalo-Baeza (JCAB) </b>for his work on the C++ parser, the 49 position iterator, ports to v1.5 and keeping the mailing list discussions alive 50 and kicking.</p> 51<p><strong>Vaclav Vesely, </strong>lots of stuff, the no_actions directive, various patches fixes, the distinct parsers, the lazy parser, some phoenix tweaks and add-ons (e.g. <tt>new_</tt>).
