[Václav Šmilauer <eu@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleagues,

most open-source projects are either abandoned, or developed forever, 
without ever getting to the "done" state. Yade is widely used now and, 
in my eyes, fully functional and completed. I am happy about that. I 
decided to retire from the development, not wanting to stay in some 
undefined suspended state as I've been for a few months now. Big thanks 
for cooperation and contributions.

I will be working now on a new project (unnamed so far), forked from 
current Yade code, which will be less DEM-centric (and more coupling 
with FEM, fluids, meshfree, ... -- big plans as usual, small fraction 
eventually realized) and only developed in a small group; the extent of 
necessary changes is such that keeping continuity with Yade would not be 
possible, or uneconomically painful. You will be notified if it ever 
becomes released, but it is also possible that it will die underways or 
simply never happen at all, time will tell.

Have a nice time with Yade. Adieu.

Vaclav
