Release Notes for both 9.3.3 and 9.2.9

Xpress Optimizer 42.01.08

With numerical emphasis activated (i.e. with the NUMERICALEMPHASIS control set to any value greater than 0), a more careful numerical handling of cutting planes is applied to improve the numerical stability of some pathological models.
Fixed numerical issue in presolve reduction that can lead to incorrect results on extreme inputs
XPRSgetobjn now raises an error if the problem is presolved: in previous releases it would return incorrect data in that case.

Xpress Nonlinear 42.01.08

Fixed a potential issue when reading in problems with an explicit equalscolumn from .lp-files.
Fixed an issue where validationindices in the convergence callbacks could reflect a heuristic instead of the iteration solution.

Xpress Interfaces 42.01.08 (Python, R, Matlab, .NET, Java)

The Xpress solver libraries have been moved out of the main Python package (xpress) into a dependency package (xpresslibs). There are no changes to the installation procedure: the xpresslibs package will be downloaded and installed automatically by Pip and Conda.
In Conda environments, the Xpress solver libraries are now installed into the shared library folder: <env>\Library\bin on Windows, <env>/lib on macOS and Linux.
