<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, a few comment threads discuss how OsiCbc is unmaintained, but I couldn’t understand why?
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, <a href="https://github.com/coin-or/CyLP/issues/34#issuecomment-185988123">
https://github.com/coin-or/CyLP/issues/34#issuecomment-185988123</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My code (<a href="https://github.com/coin-or/SONNET">https://github.com/coin-or/SONNET</a>) is also calling solvers via Osi, including OsiCbc. In case of OsiCbc, Sonnet calls CbcSolver to apply some of the ‘special sauce’ mentioned in the
comments above.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, why not use CbcSolver in OsiCbc instead of the plain branchAndBound, like the comment
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“To enjoy the full performance of Cbc, use the CbcSolver interface.” mentions?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is the best way forward to plan to stop using OsiCbc, or to try to get OsiCbc maintained?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards, Jan-Willem</p>
