  30   <li>Takatoshi Kondo found and corrected a very obscure and difficult bug in the
  31   serialization of virtual base classes.
  32   <li><a href="http://www.autoform.com">AutoForm Engineering GmbH</a> supported
  33   development efforts to extend correct serialization to objects stored in DLLS.
  34   <li><a href"http://www.cadence.com/il">Cadence Israel</a> supported enhancement
  35   and testing of the portable binary archive.
  36   <li>David Abrahams improved implementation of "export" functionality.  This not
  37   only eliminated an annoying header sequencing requirement, but also the need to maintain
  38   a list of "known archives".
  39   <li>Mattias Troyer enhanced the implementation of native binary archives.  This includes
  40   enhancement and generalization of the library itself including generalization of
  41   the wrapper concept.
  42   <li>Markus Sch&ouml;pflin tracked down issues with TRU64 compiler resulting in 100% passing.
  43   <li><a href="mailto::troy@resophonic.com"> Troy D. Straszheim</a> made the initial version of variant serialization.
  44   <li>Tonko Juricic helped refine and complete project files for VC 7.1 ide
  45   <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/rene_rivera.htm">Rene Rivera</a> tracked down several issues related to
  46   Code Warrior, toolset configuration and bjam and much else.
  47   <li>Martin Ecker detected (and fixed!) a number of subtle errors regarding cyclic
  48   pointers, shared pointers.  He also built the library as a DLL and raised some issues
  49   <li>Pavel Vozenilek invested much effort in review of code and documentation
  50   resulting in many improvements.  In addition he helped a lot with porting to other
  51   platforms including VC 6.0, Intel, and especially Borland.
  52   <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/jens_maurer.htm">Jens Maurer</a> and
  53   <a href="http://www.boost.org/people/beman_dawes.html">Beman Dawes</a> who got the boost
  54   serialization ball rolling.  It was one or both of these two that invented
  55   the much beloved <code>&amp;</code> syntax used to implement both save and
  56   load in one fuction specification.
  57   <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/vladimir_prus.htm">Vladimir Prus</a> for evaluating an
  58   early draft and contributing the diamond inheritance example.
  59   <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/william_kempf.htm">William E. Kempf</a>
  60   who made the templates for this and other boost manuals.  This relieved
  61   me of much aggravation.
  62   <li><a href="mailto:vahan@unicad.am">Vahan Margaryan</a> and
  63   <a href="mailto:fredrik_blomqvist-at-home.se">Fredrik Blomqvist</a> for their contributions
  64   to my understanding of the subtle issues of exception safety in this context.
  65   <li>all other boost members who responded with feedback during the
  66   development of this library.  Almost all comments resulted in
  67   tangible changes in the library which made it much better.
  68   <li>boosters who helped out in porting to other platforms:, Fernando Cacciola (Borland),
  69   Jeff Flinn (VC 7.1), Vladimir Prus (gcc 3.3), Christoph Ludwig(gcc 3.4),
  70   Rob Lievaart(mingw), Marshal Clow(gcc-darwin) among others.
  71   <li>all boost members who participated in the first formal review
  72   in November 2002.  Many of these members invested quite an effort
  73   to evaluate the library and suggest changes. They are
  74   Matthias Troyer, Pavel Vozenilek, Vladimir Prus, Fredrik Blomqvist,
  75   Jeff Garland, Gennadiy Rozental, Alberto Barbati, Dave Harris.
  76   Mr. Rozenthal in particular wrote an incredibly insightful analysis
  77   that has driven all subsequent development that has resulted in the
  78   current package.
  79   <li>Dave Harris proposal and spirited defense of it led to a re-thinking
  80   of the overrides for serialization of pointers.  This resulted in a simpler
  81   and more effective method of accounting for non-default constructors
  82   required by serialization of pointers and STL collections.
  83   <li><a href="mailto:admin@thefireflyproject.us">Bryce Lelbach</a> rewrote the XML Serialization grammar using Boost.Spirit 2.x.
