| This version of Spirit is a complete rewrite of the <span class="emphasis"><em>classic</em></span> |
| Spirit many people have been contributing to (see below). But there are a couple |
| of people who already managed to help significantly during this rewrite. We |
| would like to express our special acknowledgement to: |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Eric Niebler</strong></span> for writing Boost.Proto, without |
| which this rewrite wouldn't have been possible, and helping with examples, |
| advice, and suggestions on how to use Boost.Proto in the best possible way. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Ben Hanson</strong></span> for providing us with an early |
| version of his <a href="http://www.benhanson.net/lexertl.html" target="_top">Lexertl</a> |
| library, which is proposed to be included into Boost (as Boost.Lexer). At the |
| time of this writing the Boost review for this library is still pending. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Francois Barel</strong></span> for his silent but steady work |
| on making and keeping Spirit compatible with all versions of gcc, older and |
| newest ones. He not only contributed subrules to Spirit V2.1, but always keeps |
| an eye on the small details which are so important to make a difference. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Andreas Haberstroh</strong></span> for proof reading the documentation |
| and fixing those non-native-speaker-quirks we managed to introduce into the |
| first versions of the documentation. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Chris Hoeppler</strong></span> for taking up the editorial |
| tasks for the initial version of this documentation together with Andreas Haberstroh. |
| Chris did a lot especially at the last minute when we are about to release. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Michael Caisse</strong></span> also for last minute editing |
| work on the 2.1 release documentation. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Tobias Schwinger</strong></span> for proposing expectation |
| points and GCC port of an early version. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Dave Abrahams</strong></span> as always, for countless advice |
| and help on C++, library development, interfaces, usability and ease of use, |
| for reviewing the code and providing valuable feedback and for always keeping |
| us on our toes. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>OvermindDL</strong></span> for his creative ideas on the mailing |
| list helping to resolve even more difficult user problems. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Carl Barron</strong></span> for his early adoption and valuable |
| feedback on the Lexer library forcing us to design a proper API covering all |
| of his use cases. He also contributed an early version of the variadic attribute |
| API for Qi. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Daniel James</strong></span> for improving and maintaining |
| Quickbook, the tool we use for this documentation. Also, for bits and pieces |
| here and there such documentation suggestions and editorial patches. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Stephan Menzel</strong></span> for his early adoption of Qi |
| and Karma and his willingness to invest time to spot bugs which were hard to |
| isolate. Also, for his feedback on the documentation. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Ray Burkholder</strong></span> and <span class="bold"><strong>Dainis |
| Polis</strong></span> for last minute feedback on the documentation. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Steve Brandt</strong></span> for his his effort trying to |
| put Qi and Karma to some use while writing a source to source language transformation |
| tool. He made many incredible suggestions helping to improve the usability |
| of both libraries. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Special thanks to spirit-devel and spirit-general mailing lists for participating |
| in the discussions, being early adopters of pre-release versions of Spirit2 |
| from the very start and helping out in various tasks such as helping with support, |
| bug tracking, benchmarking and testing, etc. The list include: <span class="bold"><strong>Larry |
| Evans</strong></span>, <span class="bold"><strong>Richard Webb</strong></span>, <span class="bold"><strong>Martin Wille</strong></span>, <span class="bold"><strong>Dan Marsden</strong></span>, |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Cedric Venet</strong></span>, <span class="bold"><strong>Allan |
| Odgaard</strong></span>, <span class="bold"><strong>Matthias Vallentin</strong></span>, <span class="bold"><strong>Justinas V.D.</strong></span>, <span class="bold"><strong>Darid Tromer</strong></span>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Joao Abecasis</strong></span> for his early support and involvement |
| in Spirit2 development and for disturbing my peace every once in a while for |
| a couple of jokes. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The list goes on and on... if you've been mentioned thank Joel and Hartmut, |
| if not, kick Joao :-) |
