<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have found myself making lots of changes
with very little movement in the version number of Clp. So I have
decided to make it easier for users to know there are stable versions around.
I may eventually have a stable and unstable tree but my current solution
is as follows.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The current stable version is 1.01.01.
The last two digits will change whenever I think I have a new stable
version and the middle two digits will change when a noticeable improvement
has been made. If you want the latest version which is 1.01.01D (for
Development) you need do nothing new. This development version has
changes to use Benjamin Hummel's CoinFileIO improvements.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If you want version 1.01.01 (or subsequent
versions) at any time go to COIN/Clp and do</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">make restore</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This gives a list of possible Clp tar
files - at present the only one is Clp_1.01.01.tar.gz. If you follow
the instructions you will overwrite your Clp and Coin files and some Makefiles
so that you can do a make unitTest to go back to that version.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">These tar.gz files also have a copy
of COIN/Makefiles directory. This is not restored by make restore
but it means that these tar files are a self contained copy of Clp. So
going to a clean directory and doing tar zxvf Clp_1.01.01.tar.gz you can
build Clp.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If you wish to keep a copy of Clp you
can also create your own versions by make backup 1.01.01_my_copy.</font>
