| <p> |
| The original implementation of <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Thread</strong></span> |
| was written by William Kempf, with contributions from numerous others. This |
| new version initially grew out of an attempt to rewrite <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Thread</strong></span> |
| to William Kempf's design with fresh code that could be released under the |
| Boost Software License. However, as the C++ Standards committee have been actively |
| discussing standardizing a thread library for C++, this library has evolved |
| to reflect the proposals, whilst retaining as much backwards-compatibility |
| as possible. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Particular thanks must be given to Roland Schwarz, who contributed a lot of |
| time and code to the original <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Thread</strong></span> |
| library, and who has been actively involved with the rewrite. The scheme for |
| dividing the platform-specific implementations into separate directories was |
| devised by Roland, and his input has contributed greatly to improving the quality |
| of the current implementation. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Thanks also must go to Peter Dimov, Howard Hinnant, Alexander Terekhov, Chris |
| Thomasson and others for their comments on the implementation details of the |
| code. |
