I- Introduction
===============
A month after LifeV 0.3, LifeV 0.4 has come to life. We have been really busy
and I would like to thank especially C. Winkelmann for his many contributions
to this release. Also discussions with G. Fourestey and C. Winkelmann were very helpful.
A lot of "under the hood" changes were made to sanitize the code (std:: namespace,
formatting, code duplication removal...) This is not finished but good progress was made.
Actually we have to be careful to setup rules regarding coding practices.
In particular I would like to draw your attention to the following web page[1]
which gives some hints about coding practices in LifeV. This is an ongoing effort,
you are most welome to contribute.

I am going to MOX on Oct 7 & Oct 8, so I will be able to present the current state
of the code and we will be able to setup the next steps towards world domination :
- image segmentation and mesh generation
- boost::
- multiscale
- solver abstraction/interfaces
