- [section:acknowledgements Acknowledgments]
- The original implementation of __boost_thread__ was written by William Kempf, with contributions from numerous others. This new
- version initially grew out of an attempt to rewrite __boost_thread__ 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.
- Particular thanks must be given to Roland Schwarz, who contributed a lot of time and code to the original __boost_thread__ 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.
- 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.
