Tons of users have been using it. He then 47 <a href="https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2002/10/38123.php" target="_top">asked 48 the list for interest</a> in his library in 2003. Luckily, there 49 was a lot of interest and Joaquin started to boostify the code. At 50 some point all the developers seemed to agree that, rather than a bidirectional 51 map, it would be better to work on an N-indexed set that contained 52 Joaquin's library as a particular case. 53 </p></dd> 54<dt><span class="term">2003 - multiindex_set</span></dt> 55<dd><p> 56 The library grew enormously and was ready for a formal review in 2003. 57 At this point, the container was a lot more powerful, but everything 58 comes with a price and this new beast lacked the simplicity of the 59 original bimap. 60 </p></dd> 61<dt><span class="term">2004 - indexed_set</span></dt> 62<dd><p> 63 In 2004, the formal review ended well for the new multi-indexed container. 64 This Swiss army knife introduced several new features, such as non-unique 65 indexes, hashed indices and sequenced indices. In the list of improvements 66 to the library, it was mentioned that a bidirectional map should be 67 coded in top of this container. 68 </p></dd> 69<dt><span class="term">2005 - multi_index_container</span></dt> 70<dd><p> 71 Once in Boost, the library switched to the now familiar name "Boost.MultiIndex". 72 Late in 2004, it formally became a member of Boost. Joaquin continued 73 to enhance the library and added new features such as composite keys 74 and random-access indices. 75 </p></dd> 76<dt><span class="term">2006 - Multi Index Specialized Containers SoC project</span></dt> 77<dd><p> 78 In 2006, during the formal review of Boost.Property_tree, the need 79 for a bidirectional map container built on top of Boost.MultiIndex 80 arose again. Boost entered the Google SoC 2006 as a mentor organization 81 at the same time. Joaquin put himself forward as a mentor. He proposed 82 to build not only a bidirectional map, but a myriad multi-indexed specialized 83 containers. Matias Capeletto presented an application to code Boost.Misc 84 for the SoC and was elected, along with nine other students. Matias's 85 and Joaquin's SoC project ends with a working implementation of the 86 bimap library that was presented in an informal review. By the end 87 of the year the library was queued for a formal review. 88 </p></dd> 89<dt><span class="term">2007 - Boost.Bimap</span></dt> 90<dd><p> 91 The formal review took place at the beginning of the year and Boost.Bimap 92 was accepted in Boost. 93 </p></dd> 94</dl> 95</div> 96</div> 97</div> 98<table xmlns:rev="http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~gregod/boost/tools/doc/revision" width="100%"><tr> 99<td align="left"></td> 100<td align="right"><div class="copyright-footer">Copyright © 2006-2012 Matias Capeletto<p> 101 Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
