# Thanks:
Thanks to everyone who contributed.  It's been three long years since
dill has made a proper release, so I appreciate everyone's nudging the
package forward.  The authors of dill also thank the UQ Foundation,
the Caltech PSAAP project, the ExMatEx project, the AFOSR, the NSF and
DOE for their recent support.
