  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 Sch&ouml;pflin
  38 aided with Compaq C++ 6.5 and GCC for Tru64 UNIX. Rosa Bern&aacute;rdez proofread the
  39 last versions of the tutorial.

  43 Pavel Vo&#382;en&iacute;lek 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!

  50 The Boost acceptance review took place between March 20th and 30th 2004.
  51 Pavel Vo&#382;en&iacute;lek 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 J&ouml;rg 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 Bern&aacute;rdez, 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 L&oacute;pez (2001-2003): he
 104 lived too fast, died too young.

 111 Many thanks again to Pavel Vo&#382;en&iacute;lek, 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 Sch&ouml;pflin provided a Jamfile tweak for GCC under Tru64 UNIX.

 128 Thanks go to Pavel Vo&#382;en&iacute;lek for his useful comments and suggestions
 129 during the development of this release, and to Rosa Bern&aacute;rdez 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 Mat&iacute;as Capeletto, John Eddy, Martin Eigel, Guillaume Lazzara,
 141 Felipe Magno de Almeida, Julien Pervill&eacute;, Hubert Schmid, Toby Smith.

 158 rollback versions of <code>modify</code> and <code>modify_key</code> arose
 159 from discussions with Mat&iacute;as 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
 168 <code>multi_index_container</code>.
 169 A report from Zachary Zhou has led to
 170 <a href="release_notes.html#stable_update">enhancing the behavior of
 171 hashed indices update functions</a> so that they meet some intuitive expectations.
 172 Grzegorz Jakacki spotted some internal dead code.
