| 29 | Fernando Cacciola, Darren Cook, Beman Dawes, Jeremy Maitin-Shepard and Daryle |
| 30 | Walker from the Boost mailing list provided useful suggestions for improvement |
| 31 | on the first alpha releases of the library. Gang Wang discovered several |
| 32 | bugs in the code. Thomas Wenisch brought out the idea of "sequence sets" |
| 33 | from which sequenced indices were designed. Giovanni Bajo, Chris Little and |
| 34 | Maxim Yegorushkin tested the library on several platforms. Daniel Wallin |
| 35 | contributed fixes for MSVC++ 7.0. Ron Liechty and the support staff at |
| 36 | Metrowerks provided assistance during the porting of the library to CW 8.3. |
| 37 | Porting to VisualAge 6.0 counted on Toon Knapen's help. Markus Schöpflin |
| 38 | aided with Compaq C++ 6.5 and GCC for Tru64 UNIX. Rosa Bernárdez proofread the |
| 39 | last versions of the tutorial. |
| 40 | </p> |
| 41 | |
| 42 | <p> |
| 43 | Pavel Voženílek has been immensely helpful in thoroughly reviewing |
| 44 | every single bit of the library, and he also suggested several extra |
| 45 | functionalities, most notably range querying, safe mode, polymorphic key |
| 46 | extractors and MPL support. Thank you! |
| 47 | </p> |

| 50 | The Boost acceptance review took place between March 20th and 30th 2004. |
| 51 | Pavel Voženílek was the review manager. Thanks to all the people |
| 52 | who participated and specially to those who submitted reviews: |
| 53 | Fredrik Blomqvist, Tom Brinkman, Paul A Bristow, Darren Cook, Jeff Garland, |
| 54 | David B. Held, Brian McNamara, Gary Powell, Rob Stewart, Arkadiy Vertleyb, |
| 55 | Jörg Walter. Other Boost members also contributed ideas, particularly |
| 56 | in connection with the library's naming scheme: Pavol Droba, |
| 57 | Dave Gomboc, Jeremy Maitin-Shepard, Thorsten Ottosen, Matthew Vogt, |
| 58 | Daryle Walker. My apologies if I inadvertently left somebody out of this |
| 59 | list. |

| 63 | Boost.MultiIndex could not have been written without Aleksey Gurtovoy |
| 64 | et al. superb <a href="../../../libs/mpl/doc/index.html">Boost MPL |
| 65 | Library</a>. Also, Aleksey's techniques for dealing with ETI-related |
| 66 | problems in MSVC++ 6.0 helped solve some internal issues of the library. |

| 101 | I would like to dedicate this piece of work to Rosa Bernárdez, my very first |
| 102 | C++ teacher, for her unconditional support in many endeavors of which programming is |
| 103 | by no means the most important. In memory of my cat López (2001-2003): he |
| 104 | lived too fast, died too young. |

| 110 | <p> |
| 111 | Many thanks again to Pavel Voženílek, who has carefully reviewed |
| 112 | the new material and suggested many improvements. The design of hashed indices |
| 113 | has benefited from discussions with several Boost members, most notably |
| 114 | Howard Hinnant and Daniel James. Daniel has also contributed |
| 115 | <a href="../../functional/hash/index.html">Boost.Hash</a> |
| 116 | to the community: hashed indices depend on this library as |
| 117 | their default hash function provider. Robert Ramey's |
| 118 | <a href="../../serialization/index.html">Boost Serialization Library</a> |
| 119 | provides the very solid framework upon which Boost.MultiIndex serialization |
| 120 | capabilities are built. Toon Knapen helped adjust the library for VisualAge 6.0. |
| 121 | Markus Schöpflin provided a Jamfile tweak for GCC under Tru64 UNIX. |
| 122 | </p> |

| 128 | Thanks go to Pavel Voženílek for his useful comments and suggestions |
| 129 | during the development of this release, and to Rosa Bernárdez for reviewing |
| 130 | the new material in the documentation. |
| 131 | Alo Sarv suggested a notational improvement in the specification of |
| 132 | partial searches with composite keys. |
| 133 | Maxim Yegorushkin proposed a valuable |
| 134 | <a href="tutorial/indices.html#ordered_node_compression">spatial optimization</a> |
| 135 | for ordered indices and provided figures of its impact on performance |
| 136 | for containers with large numbers of elements. |
| 137 | Caleb Epstein performed the tests under MSVC++ 8.0 described in the |
| 138 | performance section. The following people have reported bugs and problems with |
| 139 | previous versions and prereleases of the library: Alexei Alexandrov, |
| 140 | Matías Capeletto, John Eddy, Martin Eigel, Guillaume Lazzara, |
| 141 | Felipe Magno de Almeida, Julien Pervillé, Hubert Schmid, Toby Smith. |

| 158 | rollback versions of <code>modify</code> and <code>modify_key</code> arose |
| 159 | from discussions with Matías Capeletto. Steven Watanabe spotted an |
| 160 | include guard bug present from the first release of the library. |

| 166 | Thanks to Amit Jain for reporting a problem with allocator management. |
| 167 | Michael Fawcett proposed the addition of an allocator constructor to |
