45 | Joaquin Lopez Muñoz posted his first <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/vcpp/stl/bimap.asp#test_suite" target="_top">bimap | |
46 | library</a> in 2002. Tons of users have been using it. He then | |
47 | <a href="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/1404881" 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> | |

91 | The formal review took place at the beginning of the year and Boost.Bimap | |
92 | was accepted in Boost. | |
