alpar@534: 2009-03-27 LEMON joins to the COIN-OR initiative
alpar@534: 
alpar@534:         COIN-OR (Computational Infrastructure for Operations Research,
alpar@534:         http://www.coin-or.org) project is an initiative to spur the
alpar@534:         development of open-source software for the operations research
alpar@534:         community.
alpar@534: 
alpar@322: 2008-10-13 Version 1.0 released
alpar@262: 
alpar@262: 	This is the first stable release of LEMON. Compared to the 0.x
alpar@262: 	release series, it features a considerably smaller but more
alpar@262: 	matured set of tools. The API has also completely revised and
alpar@262: 	changed in several places.
