  45               Joaquin Lopez Mu&#241;oz posted his first <a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3016/An-STL-like-bidirectional-map#test_suite" target="_top">bimap
  46               library</a> in 2002. Tons of users have been using it. He then
  47               <a href="https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2002/10/38123.php" target="_top">asked
  48               the list for interest</a> in his library in 2003. Luckily, there
  49               was a lot of interest and Joaquin started to boostify the code. At
  50               some point all the developers seemed to agree that, rather than a bidirectional
  51               map, it would be better to work on an N-indexed set that contained
  52               Joaquin's library as a particular case.

  56               The library grew enormously and was ready for a formal review in 2003.
  57               At this point, the container was a lot more powerful, but everything
  58               comes with a price and this new beast lacked the simplicity of the
  59               original bimap.

  63               In 2004, the formal review ended well for the new multi-indexed container.
  64               This Swiss army knife introduced several new features, such as non-unique
  65               indexes, hashed indices and sequenced indices. In the list of improvements
  66               to the library, it was mentioned that a bidirectional map should be
  67               coded in top of this container.

  69 <dt><span class="term">2005 - multi_index_container</span></dt>
  70 <dd><p>
  71               Once in Boost, the library switched to the now familiar name "Boost.MultiIndex".
  72               Late in 2004, it formally became a member of Boost. Joaquin continued
  73               to enhance the library and added new features such as composite keys
  74               and random-access indices.

  76 <dt><span class="term">2006 - Multi Index Specialized Containers SoC project</span></dt>
  77 <dd><p>
  78               In 2006, during the formal review of Boost.Property_tree, the need
  79               for a bidirectional map container built on top of Boost.MultiIndex
  80               arose again. Boost entered the Google SoC 2006 as a mentor organization
  81               at the same time. Joaquin put himself forward as a mentor. He proposed
  82               to build not only a bidirectional map, but a myriad multi-indexed specialized
  83               containers. Matias Capeletto presented an application to code Boost.Misc
  84               for the SoC and was elected, along with nine other students. Matias's
  85               and Joaquin's SoC project ends with a working implementation of the
  86               bimap library that was presented in an informal review. By the end
  87               of the year the library was queued for a formal review.

  90 <dd><p>
  91               The formal review took place at the beginning of the year and Boost.Bimap
  92               was accepted in Boost.
