&lt;p>You may have noticed that there have not been any updates to the Constraint Programming News since the beginning of the year. Our previous editors, Jimmy Lee, Eric Monfroy, and Toby Walsh handed their duties over to the ACP EC after many years of service to the community. We would like to thank them for the great effort and time they put in to keep us all up to date!&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Volume 10, Number 1, April 2014</title><link>/news/newsletters/vol10_n1/</link><pubDate>Sat, 25 Jul 2026 15:04:51 +0200</pubDate><guid>/news/newsletters/vol10_n1/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="constraint-programming-news">Constraint Programming News&lt;/h2>
