<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.
