The HeuristicLab development team wishes everyone a successful and happy new year 2009! We're glad about the worldwide interest in our software and hope that you're on board with us the coming year. The next chance to meet with members of the team is at the EuroCAST 2009 conference in Gran Canaria, Spain from February 15-20. We are there co-organizing a workshop on heuristic problem solving together with the group of Günther Raidl from the University of Vienna.
