Acknowledgements

William E. Kempf was the architect, designer, and implementor of Boost.Threads.

Mac OS Carbon implementation written by Mac Murrett.

Dave Moore provided initial submissions and further comments on the barrier and thread_pool classes.

Important contributions were also made by Jeremy Siek (lots of input on the design and on the implementation), Alexander Terekhov (lots of input on the Win32 implementation, especially in regards to boost::condition, as well as a lot of explanation of POSIX behavior), Greg Colvin (lots of input on the design), Paul Mclachlan, Thomas Matelich and Iain Hanson (for help in trying to get the build to work on other platforms), and Kevin S. Van Horn (for several updates/corrections to the documentation).

Mike Glassford finished changes to Boost.Threads that were begun by William Kempf and moved them into the main CVS branch. He also addressed a number of issues that were brought up on the Boost developer's mailing list and provided some additions and changes to the read_write_mutex and related classes.

The documentation was written by William E. Kempf. Beman Dawes provided additional documentation material and editing. Mike Glassford finished William Kempf's conversion of the documentation to BoostBook format and added a number of new sections.
