 ## Features

-branch-and-cut-and-price algorithms. We look for beta users as Coluna is under

+The latest minor release `0.6.0` suffers from regressions as some features are not available anymore. Indeed, we focused on the correctness of the algorithms and all the missing features will be back soon, well implemented and well tested.
 
 - ![Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/-stable-brightgreen) No stable feature at the moment
