Fernando Cacciola, Darren Cook, Beman Dawes, Jeremy Maitin-Shepard and Daryle
Walker from the Boost mailing list provided useful suggestions for improvement
on the first alpha releases of the library. Gang Wang discovered several
bugs in the code. Thomas Wenisch brought out the idea of "sequence sets"
from which sequenced indices were designed. Giovanni Bajo, Chris Little and
Maxim Yegorushkin tested the library on several platforms. Rosa
Bern&aacute;rdez proofread the last version of the tutorial.
</p>
<p>
Pavel Vo&#382;en&iacute;lek has been immensely helpful in thoroughly reviewing
every single bit of the library, and he also suggested several extra
functionalities, most notably range querying, safe mode, polymorphic key
extractors and MPL support. Thank you!
</p>
<p>
The Boost acceptance review took place between March 20th and 30th 2004.
Pavel Vo&#382;en&iacute;lek was the review manager. Thanks to all the people
who participated and specially to those who submitted reviews:
Fredrik Blomqvist, Tom Brinkman, Paul A Bristow, Darren Cook, Jeff Garland,
David B. Held, Brian McNamara, Gary Powell, Rob Stewart, Arkadiy Vertleyb,
J&ouml;rg Walter. Other Boost members also contributed ideas, particularly
in connection with the library's naming scheme: Pavol Droba,
Dave Gomboc, Jeremy Maitin-Shepard, Thorsten Ottosen, Matthew Vogt,
Daryle Walker. My apologies if I inadvertently left somebody out of this
list.

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

The internal implementation of red-black trees is based on that of SGI STL

I would like to dedicate this piece of work to Rosa Bern&aacute;rdez, my very first
C++ teacher, for her unconditional support in many endeavors of which programming is
by no means the most important. In memory of my cat L&oacute;pez (2001-2003): he
lived too fast, died too young.
