| <dd><p> |
| Joaquin Lopez Muñoz posted his first <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/vcpp/stl/bimap.asp#test_suite" target="_top">bimap |
| library</a> in 2002. Tons of users have been using it. He then |
| <a href="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/1404881" target="_top">asked |
| the list for interest</a> in his library in 2003. Luckily, there |
| was a lot of interest and Joaquin started to boostify the code. At |
| some point all the developers seemed to agree that, rather than a bidirectional |
| map, it would be better to work on an N-indexed set that contained |
| Joaquin's library as a particular case. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><span class="term">2003 - multiindex_set</span></dt> |
| <dd><p> |
| The library grew enormously and was ready for a formal review in 2003. |
| At this point, the container was a lot more powerful, but everything |
| comes with a price and this new beast lacked the simplicity of the |
| original bimap. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><span class="term">2004 - indexed_set</span></dt> |
| <dd><p> |
| In 2004, the formal review ended well for the new multi-indexed container. |
| This Swiss army knife introduced several new features, such as non-unique |
| indexes, hashed indices and sequenced indices. In the list of improvements |
| to the library, it was mentioned that a bidirectional map should be |
| coded in top of this container. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><span class="term">2005 - multi_index_container</span></dt> |
| <dd><p> |
| Once in Boost, the library switched to the now familiar name "Boost.MultiIndex". |
| Late in 2004, it formally became a member of Boost. Joaquin continued |
| to enchance the library and added new features such as composite keys |
| and random-access indices. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><span class="term">2006 - Multi Index Specialized Containers SoC project</span></dt> |
| <dd><p> |
| In 2006, during the formal review of Boost.Property_tree, the need |
| for a bidirectional map container built on top of Boost.MultiIndex |
| arose again. Boost entered the Google SoC 2006 as a mentor organization |
| at the same time. Joaquin put himself forward as a mentor. He proposed |
| to build not only a bidirectional map, but a myriad multi-indexed specialized |
| containers. Matias Capeletto presented an application to code Boost.Misc |
| for the SoC and was elected, along with nine other students. Matias's |
| and Joaquin's SoC project ends with a working implementation of the |
| bimap library that was presented in an informal review. By the end |
| of the year the library was queued for a formal review. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><span class="term">2007 - Boost.Bimap</span></dt> |
| <dd><p> |
| The formal review took place at the beggining of the year and Boost.Bimap |
| was accepted in Boost. |
